Is Enjoyment of Suffering Linked to Performance? - Melissa Muzeau

After some community shoutouts we give a quick update on Cocodona 250 at the time of recording (Tuesday). We then discuss some of the happenings at the World Relay Championships before a quick look at the NBA. After this we briefly look at Surrey Cricket Club trying to get people to ‘work from the cricket’ and some of the news in the tech world. We then get to our interview with Melissa Muzeau. Melissa Muzeau is a PhD candidate at the University of Canberra where her research focuses on athlete profiling, and more specifically the integration of affect to the well-known physiological performance determinants in endurance sports. (00:00) Introduction(00:17) Medical Question(03:00) David’s update(09:40) Community Shoutouts (22:50) Cocodona 250 Update (25:12) World Relay Championships (33:08) NBA Craziness and Changes (39:18) Surrey Cricket Club’s Push for People to Work from the Cricket (40:20) Wahoo Partners with Coros & Zwift Buys Rouvy (43:18) Interview Starts (45:00) What Made Melissa Pursue a PhD?(47:40) Harder Better Stronger vs Smarter Better happier (49:40) Explaining Terms (54:00) Psychology as a Performance Dimension (55:16) Explaining ‘Motivation’ (56:49) Explaining ‘Arousal’(58:41) Integrating Components of Psychology into Performance (1:05:57) Are There Differences in the Way People Experience Effort? (1:11:04) Implications for Non-Athletes    (1:15:55) Findings From Supershoes on Trail (1:27:16) Future Predictions for Trail Supershoes (1:30:21) Physiological Load and its Impact on Motivation (1:36:04) Teamwork and Performance (1:39:22) Doctor’s Office (1:41:13) What We’re WatchingThanks to Precision Fuel and Hydration for their sponsorship, use the link below to get 15% off your first order and support the podcast: https://visit.pfandh.com/1pbIf you’re unsure how which products to use or how to plan your race nutrition check out Precision’s Fuel & Hydration Planner (if you follow this you will have your discount applied automatically on your first order too): https://visit.pfandh.com/1pb-plannerThanks also to Stryd for their sponsorship, check out Stryd:Stryd helps you optimize your training and racing by measuring your running power, providing real-time data to improve efficiency, pace, and performance on any terrain.
