Fitter Radio Triathlon Podcast

We review the racing from IM703 Boise and WTCS London at the weekend.
Individual physiological adaptations to a repeated 8-wk endurance training period exhibit limited reproducibility. We discuss a recent study which demonstrates how an individual's response to one training period does not reliably reflect their capacity to adapt to the same training stimulus in the future.

Following his retirement from professional steeplechase running, Olympic silver medalist Evan Jager joined the Swedish startup Nomio as their Head of Athlete Relations.
