We have some great research to discuss in this episode including a paper looking at durability differences between men and women and another looking at who is the GOAT of running. Aside from this we look at Jimmy Gressier’s 1hr WR attempt, review some racing from Cocodona and Transvulcania and discuss the women’s rugby ball debate. We also cover a few listener questions including Strava PBs and post event illness. (00:00) Introduction(00:16) Medical Question(04:30) Xylon’s Update(06:28) Cocodona Review (11:26) Xylon’s Update Part 2 (13:06) David’s Update(14:37) Listener Question - Strava PBs (20:00) Community Shoutouts (21:41) Listener Question - Post Event Illness (24:35) Jimmy Gressier Attempts the 1hr WR (25:54) Changing Ball Size in Women’s Rugby (32:07) Winter Olympics Says No (33:55) Transvulcania Review (35:32) Tara Davis-Woodhall  (38:00) Vuelta Feminina & Paula Blasi(40:03) Who is the GOAT Runner? (51:34) Females Have Better Durability than Males (56:16) Doctor’s Office - Phil Sesemann (57:26) Seen On Social (59:11) 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.
