We talk with one of the top researchers in the world on ketone supplementation, Dr. Brendan Egan. We get into the types of supplements, their impact on our health, and possibly the least interesting question – do they help performance?
Maintaining strong training on the bike while aging isn’t as difficult as it may seem, as guest MTB champion Ned Overend illustrates.
We will delineate what age effects truly exist — for example, a drop in maximum heart rate — and others that have been traditionally attributed to aging that now appear to be trainable, such as a loss in fast-twitch muscle fiber strength.
Dr. Stephen Seiler joins us to talk about one of the biggest influences on his own work, Dr. Hans Selye who’s been called the Einstein of the biological sciences.
We examine the pros and cons of using chronic training load (CTL) as well as the ways it can take your endurance sports training off track.
As athletes, we understand the need for training plans, but have you ever considered applying the same principles to your nutrition? This episode discusses how it’s done.
In this week’s show, we talk about marginal gains in the Tour, how best to approach training races, and what to do if you encounter an emergency mid-ride.
For our 300th episode, our hosts – both old and new – are interviewed by Dr. Stephen Seiler to discuss where we’ve been and where we’re going.
