This is the first in a week of special episodes of Mikkipedia all around the Ironman World Championship triathlon 2022 in Kona.
In this episode Mikki chats to Rob Dallimore (triathlon coach and director of Foot Traffic and endurance athlete) in this episode all about wearables and best protocols for his athletes. They discuss the pros and cons of the tracking devices, the best approach to take as an athlete, how they add value and his advice on where best to spend your money.

What is Mikkipedia?
Mikkipedia is an exploration in all things health, well being, fitness, food and nutrition. I sit down with scientists, doctors, professors, practitioners and people who have a wealth of experience and have a conversation that takes a deep dive into their area of expertise. I love translating science into a language that people understand, so while some of the conversations will be pretty in-depth, you will come away with some practical tips that can be instigated into your everyday life. I hope you enjoy the show!
