This week: a study on training intensity that says grinding the top of your endurance zone buys you fatigue, not fitness. Both groups in the study improved the same amount, but the harder group just paid more for it. What to do about it, whether you are time-capped, over 50, or chasing a race.Study: Guimaraes MP, Foresti YF, Papoti M, de Azevedo PHSM (2026).

Robbie Deckard is a professional middle-distance triathlete and triathlon coach, and the founder of Freaky Fast Aero Accessories. In this episode, Robbie and Mikael dig into the real differences between American and European training methods, using lactate and VLaMax to optimise training and performance, and how age-group triathletes can apply lab-grade thinking to swim, bike and run training without actually going into a lab. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: The real difference between FTP-centric American coaching and the German/Benelux style built around VLaMax, VO2max and physiological profiling. The evolution of VLaMax based training: from Alois Mader's 1970s model through Jan Olbrecht to current day coaches like Dan Lorang. Robbie's case for still doing dedicated VO2max work, including a case study that took an amateur cyclist's VO2max from 74 to 87 mL/kg/min over 58 weeks of block periodisation. Why building maximal aerobic power early is more valuable long-term than chasing threshold gains, and how that shapes the "durability" that separates junior and U23 cyclists from senior professional cyclists. How Robbie profiles athletes using LT1, LT2 and 5-minute power (or 500 yd swim time, or mile run time), and what typical percentage utilisation looks like for age-groupers versus elites. How he prescribes endurance, threshold and VO2max sessions in practice, including cues (power, pace, RPE), lactate targets, and why exact wattage precision on threshold work matters less than people think. Practical advice for age-groupers: open-water swim skills and ankle-band drills, running road races for pacing and durability, and hill running for strength and economy. Improving aerodynamics on a budget: reduce frontal area first, then refine airflow, and how to measure progress without a wind tunnel using Golden Cheetah or a simple speed sensor.

Cycling is fantastic for cardiovascular fitness, endurance, and getting around—but what happens when it becomes your main form of movement? In this episode, Katy Bowman and Dr. Jeannette Loram explore how cycling shapes the body, from bone health and posture to hip mobility, spinal curves, and pelvic comfort. They discuss why even healthy forms of exercise don't provide every movement nutrient you need, and share practical strategies to help cyclists enjoy the ride while supporting long-term strength, mobility, and resilience.Plus Katy speaks with Tyler Benner, founder of Strong Feet Athletics, about the role of the feet in cycling and what happens when we lock them into rigid compressive cycling shoes for hours at a time. They explore the benefits of a more foot-shaped, flexible cycling shoe and how allowing the feet more freedom may help support lower limb function both on and off the bike.Enhanced Show Notes and Full Transcript0:22 — Dynamic Collective Sponsors2:37 — Introduction to Cycling, the Movement Diet, and the Tissues of the Body5:35 — Bone Density in Cyclists13:36 — Low Energy Availability in Cyclists: Effects on Hormones and Bones17:36 — How Your Body Can Become Semi-Fixed in a Cycling Shape20:04 — Hyperkyphosis and Cervical Issues25:19 — Pelvic Position and Compression30:47 — Practical Ways to Balance Cycling33:22 — Interview with Tyler Benner: The Creator of the First Foot-Shaped Cycling Shoe56:10 — Listener Question: What Kind of Pillow Should You Sleep On?

In this episode we discuss a small placebo-controlled crossover study on melatonin and caffeine in trained young men, looking at sprint performance, sleep, and recovery markers. We go over the main findings, including improved performance with caffeine and better recovery measures with melatonin, while noting that the study did not show better sleep. We also cover the study's limitations, including the small sample size and the high supplement doses used, and explain why we generally prefer lower melatonin doses and focus on sleep habits first. Later, we talk about a long-term training goal combining heavy lifts and a sub-25-minute 5K, and finish with an update on training tracking and wearables.

Remco Evenepoel won de rit, maar de Tour verloor Jonas Vingegaard. Net op de dag dat Visma de koers in handen nam, kwam de Deense kopman zwaar ten val. Einde verhaal voor de nummer twee van het klassement. Wat nu voor Visma? En hoe verandert het wegvallen van Vingegaard de rest van de Tour? Niek Goedvolk bespreekt het in een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel met Roxane Knetemann en wielerverslaggever Daniël Dwarswaard. Verder genoten we van Evenepoel, die voor het eerst liet zien ook op dit terrein mee te kunnen met de besten. Maar waarom gunde Tadej Pogacar hem wél de ritzege? Daar zijn we nog altijd niet helemaal uit.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 2022, German psychologist Rieke Schmees swapped a desk for a bike and cycled 12,000km through 16 countries. This adventure took her from Germany to Turkey, via Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Italy and the Balkans. It was the first type of adventure like this she'd taken with almost no camping experience prior to setting off as well. Rieke shares the reality of taking this adventure as a solo female, the toughest weeks in Morocco which also became teh most rewarding, and how it came to be that she rescued a puppy in Bulgaria. This episode originally aired in June 2024.Be sure to follow Rieke's future adventures via her instagram - @riekeschm Check out Old Man Mountain for the perfect way to carry gear on your bike.

He was terminated twice. He filed for divorce. He gained 60 pounds and drank on the highs AND the lows. Then May 5, 2018, he walked out of an AA meeting and hasn't touched alcohol since.   Nick Jonsson is a licensed specialized counselor, best-selling author of Executive Loneliness (the book coined a term that now has its own dedicated Wikipedia page), leads one of Asia's largest networks of senior executives, is a TEDx speaker on sleep, and an Ironman triathlete who splits time between Sweden and Asia. He's also the father of a 17-year-old son and a working husband.   In this conversation, Nick and Ted go deep on the drift that destroys high-performing men — the anxious-overachiever wound that made them successful in the first place, the 68% of executives who have nobody to confide in (per Harvard Business Review), the corporate stigma that keeps men silent even when they know better, the KLM Tenerife disaster that shows what fear of speaking up actually costs, and Nick's 5-Step framework from Executive Loneliness for the man ready to come back.   Plus the through-line Nick applies to triathlon, executive coaching, marriage, sleep, and time — the "principles that work in this work in all areas of life" reframe that turned a mediocre triathlete into an Ironman PR-setter and a man 60 pounds lighter with 30 years of marriage ahead of him.   If you're a high-performing man between 25 and 55 with more contacts than you have people to actually call — this one's for you.   Key insights from this episode: The anxious-overachiever wound that made you successful (and why healing it doesn't kill your edge) Why 68% of senior executives have nobody to confide in — and why 84% won't even tell HR Multiple purposes, not one — the "keep steady in the middle" reframe from 12-step recovery The KLM Tenerife disaster — what fear of speaking up actually costs Nick's 5-Step framework from Executive Loneliness Take Stock. Who Can You Talk To. Get Healthy. (Plus what comes next.)

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain the biology, symptoms and types of bipolar disorder (sometimes called bipolar depression), a condition characterized by extreme, maladaptive shifts in energy, mood and perception. I describe the diagnostic criteria that distinguish bipolar I from bipolar II, including mania and hypomania and the different patterns of mood cycling. I discuss the remarkable history and discovery of lithium and how it works, in part by reducing inflammation, providing neuroprotection and supporting the interoceptive neural circuits affected in bipolar disorder. I also cover talk therapies, electroconvulsive therapy and nutraceuticals such as omega-3 fatty acids and inositol, and I explore the intriguing relationship between mood disorders and creativity.

Send us Fan MailStage 11 of the Tour de France felt less like a “flat day” and more like a high-speed science experiment that got loose. We start in Vichy and finish in Nevers, then watch the whole race tip into history as the peloton clocks the fastest road stage the Tour has ever seen. With a strong tailwind and a relentless pace, the stage averages a staggering 31.6 mph, and suddenly every small detail matters: positioning, leadouts, timing, and which teams are willing to burn matches to control the finale. The story we can't stop talking about is the winner: a rider who's dead last the day before after a crash and a hand injury, then shows up the next morning and pulls off a shock Tour de France stage win. We break down how the breakaway animated the day, why it still got reeled in with about six kilometers left, and how the finish turned into pure “chaos in motion.” We also unpack the Jasper Philipsen ruling that flips from relegation to reinstatement, and what that says about sprint interference, safety, and how messy the last 200 meters can get. From there, we zoom out to the classifications and the numbers that actually shape the race: yellow jersey control, Mads Pedersen's green jersey momentum via intermediate sprints, and the polka dot and white jersey gaps that are technically doable but brutally hard without a bad day from the leaders. We also talk GC time gaps, team points, and the reality that once you're five to six minutes down, you're usually betting on chaos, not form.
