Are light runs (Zone 2 runs) better than heavier workouts? Sophie goes on a semi-manic tangent in her most enthusiastic episode yet to answer whether less intense exercise might actually help your fitness level, aerobic threshold and mitochondrial efficiency. Also, Chris tells a funny marathon story and a viewer question tries to fact-check to the fact checkers on whether walking and running burn the same amount of energy.   Become a supporter of our show today either on Patreon or through PayPal!

„Millalgi selle sajandi alguses – see võis olla 2001. või 2002. aastal – läksin ma noore ettevõtjana Ameerika konsultandi David Neenani kursusele „Äri ja sina““, meenutas Alar Tamming Tähenduse teejuhtide 263. vestlusringis (41. minut). Esimesel päeval räägiti vasaku ja parema ajupoolkera koostööst, tegime mitmesuguseid harjutusi. See kõik oli tore, aga suures plaanis ei midagi uut. Teise päeva õhtul korjati meilt käekellad ära, jagati viie- ja kuueliikmelistesse gruppidesse ja öeldi, et nüüd läheb aega. Meie grupis oli neli meest ja kaks naist. Oleksime loogikas ja ratsionaalsuses kõigile teistele pika puuga ära pannud. Meile anti aga teine ülesanne: pidime üheskoos tundma tundeid – usaldust, armastust, andestust, terviklikkust... Me pidime neid tundeid mitte üksnes tundma, vaid ka teistele näitama. See kestis tunde ja läks meil väga vaevaliselt – meile öeldi: te näitlete väga hästi, aga mingeid tundeid teil tegelikult ei ole – lõpuks hakkasid osad nutma, tunded hakkasid välja tulema. Lõpetasime hommikul kella viie-kuue paiku, saime viimaks läbi suure häda oma eksami tehtud. Lõpus õõtsusime kõik koos käed üksteise õlgadel Bette Midleri „The Rose'i“ saatel. Paljudel olid pisarad silmis. Ma vaatasin seda kõike distantsilt ja ei tundnud suurt midagi. Järgmisel päeval oli mul tunne, et ma olen sattunud Ameerika telešõusse: naised hüppasid üksteise järele üles ja teatasid, et nemad enam vana elu ei ela, ütlevad ülemusele välja, mis nad temast arvavad jne. Vaatasin seda pealt nagu hullumaja peaarst – nüüd toimub küll suur avanemine. Pärast koolitust istusin autosse ja panin mängima ühe Leonard Coheni laulu – ja siis ühtäkki juhtus minuga midagi: mõtete voog seiskus, mulle langes osaks niivõrd täiuslik, terviklik ja erakordne psüühiline seisund, kuhu ma oleks tahtnud jäädagi. See kestis võib-olla viisteist minutit. Ma ei saanud üldse aru, mis minuga toimus, see kogemus lihtsalt ei mahtunud olemasolevasse raami. Mõni aeg hiljem sattusin ma ühele soomekeelsele muutunud teadvusseisundeid käsitlevale artiklile. Ma polnud sellisest terminist oma Tartu Ülikooli psühholoogiaõpingute kestel veel kuulnud. Lugesin artikli läbi ja mõistsin, et see oli just see, mis minuga oli toimunud, ja et selliseid seisundeid uuritakse ka teaduslikult. Otsisin just sel ajal oma magistritöö teemat ja sealt ma selle leidsingi.“Kolmepäevaselt koolituselt „Äri ja sina“ algas Alari eneseotsingute tee, mis on kulgenud läbi psühhedeelsete tseremooniate, vabastava hingamise ja Gurdžijevi õpetuse omaenda terviklikuma versiooni poole. Teekonda tähistavad muuhulgas raamatud „Jalutuskäik iseendasse“, „Jalutuskäik raha alkeemiasse“ ning „Teadvuse sünd“. 263. saatesse tõi meid kokku neist viimane.„Mul plahvatas Tabasalus jalutades järsku ulmejutu süžee. See tõi mu depressioonist paugupealt välja. Panin need mõtted kirja ja natukese aja pärast andsin Claude'ile ülesande: kirjutame väikese jutukese. Nii sündis „Teadvuse sünni“ esimene sosistus,“ valgustas Alar raamatu sünnilugu (19. minut). Järgneva sajakonna minuti vältel oli tehisaru kõrval teiseks oluliseks päevakangelaseks vast Rudolf Steiner, keda tunneb hästi teine saatekülaline Heiki Jürissaar. „Jõudsin vaimsesse maailma seetõttu, et ma põlesin läbi,“ rääkis Heiki oma lugu (30. minut). „Sattusin umbes kolmekümneaastasena mitmesuguste tervendajate kätte ja avastasin, et lisaks teaduspõhilisele meditsiinile on meil veel iseäralike võimetega inimesed. Liikusin šamanismi, joogafilosoofiasse ja teistesse new age'likke praktikatesse. Jõudsin oma katsetuste varal järeldusele, et new age'is on palju tõdesid, pooltõdesid ja valesid. Neid serveeritakse tihtipeale väga erinevates kastmetes ja lõpuks võib nendega päris rappa põrutada. Õnneks kinkis sõber mulle ühe Rudolf Steineri raamatu.“ Heiki sõnul hoiatab Steiner meid new age'like kiirteede ohtude eest. Seejärel peatusime pikemalt oma isiklikel kogemustel new age'i valguse ja varjuga.Hardo Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In recent years “Zone 2 training” has gained immense popularity in fitness and health circles, often being proclaimed the “best” cardiovascular training for metabolic health.  Zone 2 training is sustained, low-intensity exercise below the lactate threshold that is commonly employed by many elite level endurance athletes, with a variety of proposed performance benefits. This led to interest from health-conscious folks about its ability to  improve markers like VO2 max and mitochondrial function, which are associated with better health outcomes and longevity.  Prof. Brendon Gurd, an exercise physiologist at Queen's University, is  the co-author of a recent review published in Sports Medicine that examined some of the claims made around zone 2 training and health in the general population. This episode looks at whether the evidence truly supports Zone 2 as a uniquely effective training zone or if this hype has outpaced the research. These insights help professionals and individuals make evidence-based recommendations and avoid unintended negative consequences of following certain ideas. About The Guest Dr. Brendon Gurd is a Professor in the School of Kinesiology and Health Studies at Queen's University, where his research focuses on exercise physiology and skeletal muscle adaptation. His work explores how different intensities and types of exercise influence mitochondrial content and function in muscle tissue, with the goal of understanding how to optimize health and performance through training.
