Simon Ward, The High Performance Human Triathlon Podcast
Health & Fitness
Some of my work in the last 15 years has involved coach education for British Triathlon, generally at Loughborough University. Often we invite guest presenters to deliver on specialist subjects and that is how I met today’s guest, Dr. Jamie Pringle when he came to speak on physiology for triathlon.
Jamie is an applied sport scientist who has held various leadership roles within the British world-class sports sector, including Head of Science for British Athletics and Lead Physiologist for the English Institute of Sport, along with research, innovation, and education responsibilities. He worked across three Olympic cycles providing physiological support to a number of medal-winning national governing body programs. Most recently, Jamie was involved in the creation of the Boardman Performance Centre - a science, engineering, and medicine facility working with all levels of cycling performance - and now leading a similar venture with Vorteq Sports. He received his Ph.D. from Manchester Metropolitan University in Exercise Physiology, examining cardiorespiratory and muscle metabolism aspects of high-intensity exercise. He maintains an active research and reviewing profile in collaboration with various universities and higher education funding councils. Jamie has 20 years of experience in advising cyclists and other endurance athletes and has coached riders to over 80 national titles and multiple British records.
It’s been a while since Jamie and I have chatted, so in addition to asking him about his work experiences, I also wanted to ask him some basic physiology questions to help you get a better understanding of how best to prepare for your triathlon races.
Buckle up for a physiology 101 with Dr. Jamie Pringle as we discuss:

Books
Jamie recommended several books during our chat
For the best physiology book available McCardle Catch & Catch
And the book he has read most recently which had a significant impact
Better by Atul Gawande - a surgeon's notes on performance
And if you just want a good read
Bill Bryson “A Short History of Nearly Everything”
Jamie also thought that Bill Bryson did a pretty good layman’s job at explaining the body in this book “The Body: A guide for Occupants"
