Summary

Kerry McGawley is Associate Professor at Mid Sweden University. She is also a coach, and a very good age group triathlete in her own right. In this interview, we discuss Kerry's own training and racing, as a case study of how a person with all the knowledge that Kerry has about sports science and physiology trains and achieves results like winning her age group in the IM70.3 World Championships. This is part one of a two-part interview, where part two is about the current science on the female athlete. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -Kerry's process for planning her season, and her training weeks -Her three races and three wins this year: World Triathlon Long Distance Championships, British Middle Distance Championships, and the Ironman 70.3 World Championships -Her typical training week leading into 70.3 Worlds -Recovery within the training plan -Cross-training, social training and managing training during work travel -The biopsychosocial performance model SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts408/ SCIENTIFIC TRIATHLON AND THAT TRIATHLON SHOW WEBPAGE: www.scientifictriathlon.com/podcast/ SPONSORS: FORM Smart Swim Goggles give you unprecedented real-time feedback in your swim training through a display on the goggle lens. See every split to stay on pace, track your stroke rate and don't let it drop, use heart rate to become more scientific and precise with your training (through integration with Polar HR monitors) and analyse more in-depth metrics post-swim in the app. You can also use a vast library of workouts or training plans, or build your own guided workouts. Get 15% off the goggles with the code TTS15 on formswim.com/tts.

0:22.7	The podcast presented by Scientific Triathlon.com. I'm our host Michael and on today's episode
0:28.0	I interview Carrie McGaulay. Carrie is associate professor at the mid-Sweden university
0:32.5	and as you will have seen from the title of this episode, it is a two-part interview.
0:38.1	Today's part is about Kerry's own training, actually, because she has had a massive amount
0:43.4	of success as an age group athlete, in particular this season, most recently winning her age
0:48.0	group in the 7.13 World Championships.
0:51.2	And the reason that I want to talk about her training is really how does somebody
0:56.2	that has the knowledge in physiology, the scientific understanding, the exercise science background
1:02.4	that Kerry has, how do they actually go about their own training at the level that she is
1:08.1	racing at? And yeah, how does that factor into what they do in training
1:12.4	wise i think that can be really informative and interesting to hear so that's what we spend
1:19.1	this part of the interview and this entire episode today talking about and then in the next part
1:25.5	of the interview which will be in two episodes in two weeks
1:28.9	episode 410 in that part we will talk about the female athlete and that will be more of getting
1:35.2	into the science on the female athlete the menstrual cycle mother athletes and some other topics
1:40.5	and those are topics that carry has been directly involved in as a researcher
1:45.4	and a scientist and that's so that's i guess a bit more of an academic but also of course
1:50.6	we go into practical applications of that so yeah hopefully you stay tuned for that one in two
1:56.9	weeks time but before we go into this part one of the interview with Kerry, Big
