Show Notes

This week on the show I speak to Dan Plews about Funky Trunkies, protein metabolism and Chelsea Sodaro - who blew up the podium at the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon Championships in Kona in early October.

We talk about training and nutrition tactics, the data Dan used to assess progress, whether there were sex specific strategies used in his approach, how important recovery was and where Dan feels coaches and athletes could go wrong in the training journey.
It’s a pretty transparent conversation, and I think you’ll get real insight from how Dan trains his athletes, with tips for any endurance and high performing enthusiast.

As an applied Sports Scientist, Dan has worked closely with athletes who have won more than 25 World and Olympic titles in sports including rowing, kayak and triathlon.

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!
