In this episode:In the Medical Mailbag we look at the evidence behind using ventilatory metrics to assess and prescribe training zones as well as training loads especially as it pertains to measurement with the new to market Tymewear chest strap. This tech got a lot of buzz at this year's Tour de France but is it ready for adoption by age groupers? Plus, we catchup with the whirlwind journey of Matthew Marquardt, a med student who’s also a triathlon sensation. With a season filled with victories, including a dazzling performance at the World Championships, Matthew shares the gritty reality behind the glamour of triathlon fame. From the grueling training schedules to the unexpected cramping that could rival any medical mystery, he takes us behind the scenes of his life as he balances studies and races. The conversation turns to the dramatic events at Kona, where high stakes and even higher temperatures led to heartbreaking moments for some of the sport’s best women. Matthew reflects on the emotional rollercoaster that these athletes endured and what it truly means to compete at such a high level under extreme conditions. The dynamic between the race’s history in Kona versus Nice is also a hot topic, highlighting the different styles of racing that favor various types of athletes. With a sharp tongue and an eye for the absurd, this episode humorously critiques the current state of the sport while also celebrating the triumphs of those brave enough to compete. It’s a heartfelt testament to resilience, determination, and the unexpected twists that come with chasing greatness in triathlon.Segments:[10:11]- Medical Mailbag: Tymewear[37:14]- Interview: Matthew Marquardt Links@matthewmarquardt on Instagram
