Tech Talk is as always packed with

greatness. Our Test Lab gave the Zipp 454

NSW wheels a road test (page 42), we

talk compression for recovery on page 46,

Deputy Ed. Margy Margs road tested two

of the latest sports watches to hit the

market (page50), and we put the Product

Spotlight on the Elite RAMPA on page 40).

Our regular experts share their best

tips, tricks and advice in this month’s

Training Toolbox. Simon ‘Snowy’ Johnson

looks at the Art of Suffering on page 62,

while Dr Mitch Anderson talks heat

acclimation (page 72), and Kriss Hendy

has your latest Strength and Conditioning

workout on page 76, plus much,

much more!

So, grab your favourite recovery drink,

brew or vino and enjoy this edition

who took home the men’s title over

reigning champ Tim Reed (page 18).

Megan Evoe checks in with four of the

best long course women in the world to

talk about having Babies On Board (page

24), and we also chat with Major Holly

Orchard who combines Army life and

deployment overseas with a love for
