Sticking to 80/20 and training by heart rate are just two of the key polarized training rules you’ll want to follow.
A healthy gut and appropriate inflammation are critical to our training, but finding the right balance is challenging. Cardiologist Dr. Fred Chaleff discusses the ways we can all find equilibrium.
Mattering is the experience of adding value and feeling valued, both to the self and interpersonally. It’s the feeling of being seen, heard, valued, and needed. It’s a psychological need and a human instinct, but is rarely discussed in performance contexts.
Colby Pearce, US Track Olympic athlete, join us to share what he knows about attempting the hour record on the track. This is an inside look at the training he did, the difficulties of selecting gears, and training on a track that was different from the one where he set the record, and how he managed the pain. Pearce set the master’s 45-49 world record with a scorching 50.245 kilometer effort after this was recorded.
Road racing has been on a decline, while virtual racing has been accelerating as a legitimate type of racing. We discuss what this means for both sports.
