Men Hitting the Wall More than Women & GOATs Unretiring

from 1 % Better - Hidden Stories in Sport · host 1% Better Podcast

We hear about Xylon’s traipsing around the world before we discuss a listener email about women outperforming men. We then look at some observations from the World Cup, including some NFL players wanting stadiums to keep the grass from the World Cup. We then look at some happenings from Prefontaine Classic, Yared Nuguse racing London Diamond League and John Korir racing Valencia Marathon. We briefly take a look at the Tour de France before looking at GOATs unretiring and a paper showing men are twice as likely to hit the wall in the marathon than women.  (00:00) Introduction(00:18) Medical Question (06:05) Xylon’s Update (12:07) David’s Update (17:01) Community Shoutouts (21:53) Listener Email - Women Outperforming Men (29:04) World Cup Observations(37:13) NFL Players & Grass Fields(39:35) Prefontaine Classic(42:57) Yared Nuguse at London Diamond League (43:56) Kejelcha vs Korir at Valencia Marathon (44:57) Tour de France(51:37) GOATs Unretiring(58:34) Men Hitting the Wall More than Women  (1:03:45) Doctor’s Office - Keely Hodgkinson(1:05:01) Doctor’s Office - Mykolas Alekna (1:05:57) Doctor’s Office - Jordan Henderson(1:07:40) What We’re Watching   Thanks 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.
