Episode 38 - Suunto & The Launch of ZoneSense
In episode 38 Lewis is joined by Janne Kallio, who works with Suunto and has been hugely influential in the launch of ZoneSense. Suunto ZoneSense offers a breakthrough in tracking real-time intensity. It uses heart rate variability (HRV) to give accurate insights, helping athletes optimise their performance like never before. To celebrate the new partnership between Suunto & NLC, Lewis invited Janne onto the pod to not just discuss the brand, but go a little bit deeper into ZoneSense and how it can help people maximise their performance.
We know that data is so important now, especially when it comes to performance, but the beauty of this episode is that Lewis & Janne talk about the practicalities of ‘zonal training’ and how we can use technology to help us, but how we can also go back to basics too.

Episode 21: TRAINING AND RACING IN THE HEAT with DOUG STEWART
In episode 21 Lewis is joined by Doug Stewart, who is a coach himself and is currently undertaking a PHD at Loughborough University, looking specifically at remote coaching. Doug recently had a number of athletes racing in TransGranCanaria, where his trail and ultra athletes faced brutally hot conditions. Despite this, the runners from the Elite Trail Team: https://www.elitetrailteam.com/ performed brilliantly and this could be partly to do with some of the heat mitigation strategies Doug carefully planned out before they travelled to Gran Canaria.
With this in mind, both Lewis and Doug chat about the challenges athletes face in warmer climates, what happens to the body and what we can do about it. Specifically they look at pre-race preparation and trying to prepare the body for the heat, cooling strategies right before the race, as well as during the race itself.
Doug and the team have shared their strategies on the Elite Trail Team website and you can have a read here: https://www.elitetrailteam.com/resources/heat-mitigation-strategies
