Today I have the honor and the pleasure to speak once again with celebrated poet and physician, Fady Joudah. The last time Fady was on the podcast was in November, 2023, shortly after the outbreak of war in Gaza. At that point we spoke about the impossibility of, even then, quantifying the genocide. Today we focus on the politics of language—in particular, the distinction Fady Joudah makes between Palestine in English, and Palestine in Arabic. We speak too of the need for and limitations of solidarity, and finish with a reading and discussion of one of Fady Joudah's most remarkable and stunning poems, “Truth is Never Finished.”  Fady Joudah is a Palestinian American physician, poet, and translator. He was born in Austin, Texas, and grew up in Libya and Saudi Arabia. He was educated at the University of Georgia, the Medical College of Georgia, and the University of Texas Health Sciences in Houston. In 2002 and 2005 he worked with Doctors Without Borders in Zambia and Sudan, respectively.Joudah's debut collection of poetry, The Earth in the Attic (2008), won the 2007 Yale Series of Younger Poets competition, chosen by Louise Glück. Joudah followed his second book of poetry, Alight (2013) with Textu (2014), a collection of poems written on a cell phone wherein each piece is exactly 160 characters long. His fourth collection is Footnotes in the Order of Disappearance (2018).  In 2014, Joudah was a Guggenheim Fellow in poetry. As critic Charles Bainbridge observed in a 2008 Guardian review of The Earth in the Attic, “Joudah's poetry thrives on dramatic shifts in perspective, on continually challenging received notions.”Joudah translated  several collections of Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish's work in The Butterfly's Burden (2006), which won the Banipal prize from the UK and was a finalist for the PEN Award for Poetry in Translation; and in If I Were Another, which won a PEN USA award in 2010. His translation of Ghassan Zaqtan's Like a Straw Bird It Follows Me (2012) won the Griffin International Poetry Prize in 2013. His other translations include Amjad Nasser's Petra: The Concealed Rose and A Map of Signs and Scents.Joudah lives with his family in Houston, where he works as a physician of internal medicine.

They address questions about pedal stroke efficiency, power imbalances, setting goals for races, and VO2 max intervals. They provide insights and recommendations based on their experience as coaches and athletes.   Keywords cycling, training, racing, pedal stroke, power imbalance, goals, VO2 max intervals   Takeaways Having a power meter that measures both left and right power can help identify and address power imbalances in pedal stroke. For most athletes, a power imbalance of 48/52 or 52/48 is not a cause for concern. When setting goals for races, consider factors such as race distance, terrain, and competition level. Pacing strategies should be tailored to the specific race and individual capabilities. VO2 max intervals can be customized based on the type of rider and their specific energy system needs. Tabata-style workouts can be effective for improving VO2 max, but should be used strategically and not as the sole focus of training. Training plans should include a combination of race-specific intervals and general intensity workouts for optimal results. Consider individual factors such as fitness level, training history, and race goals when designing training plans. Experimentation and learning from mistakes are important for building race experience and improving performance.   Titles Setting Goals for Races Customizing VO2 Max Intervals   Sound Bites "What do you recommend to obtain a more even pedal stroke?" "It seems you're yearning for continuous lactate measurement." "How would you recommend her go about pacing for the first few races?"

They explore the importance of maintaining fitness levels, specifically FTP, while also emphasizing the need for variety in training to enhance overall performance. The discussion highlights practical strategies for athletes to manage their training schedules effectively, adapt to seasonal changes, and embrace new activities for improved fitness.   Takeaways 25 miles is not necessarily short racing. You need a combination of the two. If you only did zone two training, you'd be on your back foot. The quality of high-intensity sessions should be prioritized. Cross-training can help build your aerobic base. You should do tune-up races before your main event. Don't do crazy long zone two. The more specific your training, the more prepared you'll be. Running is beneficial for bone mineral density. Exploiting weaknesses in training is crucial. Cross training can enhance overall athletic performance. Balancing different training modalities is crucial for endurance athletes. Maintaining FTP is important, but not at the expense of overall fitness. Strength training should complement endurance workouts. Athletes should not fear letting their FTP drop during the off-season. Variety in training can lead to better performance outcomes. Scheduling workouts efficiently can help manage time constraints. Listening to your body is key when trying new activities. Cross-country skiing can be a beneficial cross-training activity for cyclists. Taking breaks from cycling can rejuvenate motivation and performance.   Chapters 00:00 Training for Shorter Races: HIIT vs. Zone 2 15:05 Balancing Volume and Intensity in Training 19:57 Cross-Training for Endurance Events 27:56 The Importance of Specificity in Training 29:38 Integrating Cross Training into Endurance Routines 34:00 Balancing Cross Country Skiing and Cycling Training 44:02 Understanding FTP and Its Importance in Training 49:07 Embracing Variety in Training for Better Performance

They emphasize the importance of gradual progression in training volume, especially for older athletes, and explore how to maintain fitness during winter months. The discussion also covers the balance between training intensity and volume, providing insights on how to optimize training schedules for endurance events. Takeaways It's crucial to gradually build back up to training volume after a break. Older athletes should prioritize recovery and avoid jumping back into high volume training too quickly. Maintaining fitness during winter can be achieved through strategic indoor training and outdoor rides when possible. A proper off-season is essential for mental and physical recovery. Mixing longer rides with shorter, more intense sessions can enhance training effectiveness. Consistency in training is key, but quality should not be sacrificed for quantity. Utilizing favorable weather conditions for training can help maintain fitness levels. Building an aerobic base is a long-term process that accumulates over years. Training plans should be flexible to accommodate personal schedules and life events. It's important to listen to your body and adjust training intensity based on how you feel.
