Hypoxic Training - the benefits of hypoxic (or low oxygen) training in competitive swimming.  Is it the 'sea level' equivalent to altitude training?  Bev gives an overview. Mikki geeks out on some fascinating stats around pro cyclists and body size.  We interview Heath Fitzpatrick, one of the Directors of Challenge Gold Coast which is set for Sunday 24 August - a perfectly placed race for the ITU World Champs in China this year and the 70.3 World Champs in Kona. In our One Step Ahead section we look at the 'Female Athlete Triad' syndrome.  What is it and what are the health implications for female athletes.  Bev reveals his feminine side...  Our interview this week is with the amazing Jo Lawn, Ironman legend and now expectant mother-to-be.  We find out from Jo how she's feeling about her new role and her thoughts on the future.  PLUS Jo tells us the answer to the BIG question...boy or girl?
