ONE STEP AHEAD: Colostrum - is it useful for endurance athletes. WORKOUT OF THE WEEK: Saddle sores and how to deal with them. HOT PROPERTY INTERVIEWS - DYLAN MCNEICE & CARL READ: What does it take to complete 2 x Iron Distance races 2 weeks apart?  We are very excited to be able to bring you two interviews this week with kiwi pro athletes Dylan McNeice and Carl Read - two athletes who did just that. They recently completed New Zealand's two biggest Iron Distance races - Challenge Wanaka on 22 February and Ironman New Zealand on 7 March.  We talk to each athlete about their races, how they prioritised, what training (if any) they did in between and what they had left in them for IMNZ.

5 MINUTE FOCUS: This week we talk to Veronika Larisova from Eat like a Chief http://eatlikeachief.com/about their new Chief Bars.
