Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of That Triathlon Show.

0:23.5

The podcast presented by Scientific Triathlon.com.

0:27.2

I'm Elvis Michael and on today's episode I interview Brad Beer.

0:30.3

Brad has over 17 years experience as a physiotherapist and he is the head physiotherapist

0:35.7

of the Super League Triathlon series, consultant physiotherapist for Traathlon Australia's Olympic Podium Center.

0:41.6

0:48.8

And in this interview, we dive deep into triathlon related injuries, rehabilitation and prevention. But before we get into

0:55.7

the interview, big thanks to our sponsor's form. The four smart swim goggles give you real-time

1:00.2

feedback in your swim training right on the goggle lens, including your splits, pace, stroke

rate and heart rate. This means that you can execute your swim workout better, whether it's

1:08.6

pushing harder when you're starting to fall off the pace or holding back when you're accidentally going faster than you should. It also means that if you're

1:14.5

using a Garmin or similar GPS watch in the pool, you can get rid of that because the goals will

1:19.2

automatically notice when you start and stop each of your intervals and give you accurate splits

1:23.3

for each and every interval without the disruption of having to reach for your watch.

1:27.9

Most importantly, for me at least, it also adds some fun and motivation to swimming and

1:33.0

makes me want to go to the pool more often because it's just more engaging with the feedback

1:37.0

that you have throughout your swim.

1:39.3

You can get 15% of the goggles with the code TTS15 on 4Swim.com forsthetest TTS. And thank you. And thank you to Zan8. indoor swim trainer allows you to improve your technique, power and swim training consistency, even when you're short on time. It's a great tool for busy athletes because you can do a quality workout in just 15 minutes at home, even on days when you don't have time to get to the pool. And it is a perfect complement to pool and open water swimming as it allows you to focus specifically on key aspects of your swimming, like your catch and your power and isolate them more easily than you can in the water. You can try to send a risk free for up to 30 days. So if you don't love it, just send it back. And you can get 20% of your first order on senateaityinter.com for S. TTS. Now without any further ado,
