When we do that with experienced runners, they tend to be within about 3 or 5% of the gate characteristic that is required for that mathematical optimal,

0:15.2

whereas untrained runners are about 8% away.

That trefoam So, 241.

Hey, what's up everybody?

0:44.3

Welcome back to another episode of that triathlon show, the podcast presented by Scientific Traathlon.com.

0:46.9

I'm my host Michael, and on today's episode, I interview Dr. Isie Moore.

0:51.2

Isi is a researcher at Cardiff Metropolitan University. She specializes in running

0:56.6

biomechanics, economy and injuries. And in this interview, we discuss her research in these

1:02.6

areas and some other ones as well, including, for example, training load, quantification,

1:07.4

and the implications and practical applications of her findings for draft fleets and runners.

1:13.6

But before we get into the interview, big thanks to our sponsors.

1:17.2

First, we have precision hydration.

1:19.3

Precision hydration make electrolyte products that you can match to your individual sodium losses.

1:25.5

Everybody has the different sodium concentration in their sweat,

1:29.1

plus when you add to that the fact that we have different sweat rates, then the inter-individual

1:34.7

difference between how much sodium, two different athletes lose can be pretty dramatic.

1:40.9

And that is why precision hydration has created a free online sweat test that you can take on their website.

1:46.7

It takes just a few minutes and you will answer 10 questions qualitatively and that will give you a ballpark

1:53.0

estimate for how much sodium you lose and then you can use that information to match your

1:58.7

sodium intake and this is especially important in longer and hotter

2:02.7

races and events to how much sodium you will lose during that event so check them out on
