Podcasts about Interval training

Welcome back to the Flex Diet Podcast! I'm your host, Dr. Mike T. Nelson, and today's episode is a special rebroadcast of a conversation I had on the Barbell Shrugged podcast with Anders Varner. We dive deep into what I call the Flexible Meathead Cardio Approach — a method designed specifically for strength athletes and lifters who know they need cardio but don't want it to kill their gains.In this episode, I break down how to build a cardio plan that enhances, not competes with, your strength and performance goals. We cover why aerobic conditioning is a secret weapon for recovery, how it helps you train harder over time, and how to structure your week for maximum benefit.We also get into the weeds on VO2 max testing, different cardio modalities (and when to use them), and how to leverage health data from wearables like the Oura Ring for smarter training decisions. If you're a lifter who wants to be strong and fit without living on a treadmill, this one's for you.Sponsors:Tecton Life Ketone drink! https://tectonlife.com/ DRMIKE to save 20%LMNT electrolyte drink mix: miketnelsonlmnt.comFexible Meathead Cardio Level 1: Sign-up hereAvailable now:Grab a copy of the Triphasic Training II book I co-wrote with Cal Deitz here.Episode Chapters:00:35 Flexible Meathead Cardio Approach00:55 Enrollment Details for the Cardio Course01:45 Podcast Collaboration and Disclosure02:08 Introduction to the Barbell Shrugged Episode02:12 Cardio for Strength Training Enthusiasts05:28 Benefits of Aerobic Training for Lifters09:51 Personal Experience and Data Insights22:58 Structuring Cardio for Muscle-Bound Athletes27:49 Interval Training and Output Management29:03 Recovery Strategies for Intervals31:08 High-Intensity Intervals vs. Long Runs33:41 Understanding VO2 Max Testing39:04 VO2 Max Standards and Goals45:32 Structuring a Balanced Training Week47:46 The Importance of Consistent Cardio49:36 Conclusion and Where to Find More InformationFlex Diet Podcast Episodes You May Enjoy:Episode 287: Insights and Innovations in HRV and Aerobic Training with Coach Joel JamiesonEpisode 138: Why Everyone Benefits from Aerobic Training – Even MeatheadsGet In Touch with Dr Mike:Instagram: DrmiketnelsonYouTube: @flexdietcertEmail: Miketnelson.com/contact-us

OVERVIEWInterval training works, but there are ways to get stronger, ride faster, and win races without interval training. There are even aspects of performance that are better suited to no-interval training blocks. In some cases, the structured intensity with planned recovery breaks hinders an athlete's flexibility to use power and fitness spontaneously. Coach Adam Pulford breaks away from the dogma of interval training to show you how to improve your fitness and performance with a period of reduced structure. TOPICS COVEREDThe 5 reasons we do intervals in training3 Ways to train without intervalsSample workout 1: Hard Climbing DaySample workout 2: Kilojoules per hourSample workout 3: Normalized Power Game3 Ways to use Group Rides for productive trainingMonitoring your fitness when you're not doing intervalsSubjective feedback: "real feel" vs. "should feel"ASK A QUESTION FOR A FUTURE PODCASTLINKS/RESOURCESThe Evolution of EnduranceHOSTAdam Pulford has been a CTS Coach for nearly two decades and holds a B.S. in Exercise Physiology.

HIIT may be failing you for two big reasons. Spoiler alert, here they are: You aren't actually hormonally in a place you'll benefit. You are doing them outside a sweet spot that is optimal for results So I'll quickly address #1 and have a deeper discussion on #2 and what actually is happening during HIIT and why it has the potential to be so good, if you're ready! Your Glucose Metabolism to Know Why HIIT May Be Failing You The classic form of “all out” HIIT is the Wingate test. After about 3 to 5 minutes of warm-up the subject cycles for 30 seconds at maximum effort against a standardized resistance. Typically four to six Wingate tests are performed separated by 4 minutes of rest, for a total of 2 to 3 minutes of maximal exercise spread over 15 to 30 minutes. This “all out” cycle ergometer form of HIT is also referred to as sprint interval training (SIT). In intense exercise (>80% VO2max), unlike at lesser intensities, glucose is the exclusive muscle fuel. Catecholamine levels rise markedly, causing glucose production to rise seven- to eightfold while glucose utilization is only increased three- to fourfold. In people without diabetes there is a small blood glucose increase during intense exercise that increases further immediately at exhaustion and persists for up to 1 hour. Plasma insulin levels rise, correcting the glucose level and restoring muscle glycogen. This physiological response would be absent in type 1 diabetics. Your Aerobic Endurance to Know Why HIIT May Be Failing You HIIT is effective in improving aerobic endurance. In one study six “all out” SIT sessions over 2 weeks improved the mean cycle endurance time to fatigue while cycling at approximately 80% of pretraining VO2max by 100% (from 26 to 51 minutes). This required a total high-intensity exercise time of only 15 minutes with a total training time commitment of approximately 2.5 hours. In another study, a less intense version of HIIT (6–10 cycling bouts of 30 seconds each at 125% of the power at VO2max with 2 minutes recovery) produced a similar improvement in VO2max after 4 weeks of training, as was seen in the more intense SIT group (three to five “all out” 30-second cycling bouts with 4 minutes of recovery).  The less intense HIT required only half the intensity but double the repetitions of the SIT, and may be more practical for the nonathlete. After high-intensity exercise, insulin sensitivity is typically increased, meaning the body may require less insulin to utilize glucose effectively, which could lead to a slight rise in insulin levels during recovery as the body replenishes glycogen stores. The lower the conditioning level the more insulin is likely to be increased. The longer the activity level, the more insulin is likely to be secreted after exercise. If adequate recovery does not occur between intervals there may be a greater elevation in stress hormones. So either … keep the intensity high and the duration extremely short, or make this a longer session with up to 4 minutes between all-out bursts still with a total time of 20 minutes of interval rounds, adding warm up and cool down making it a 30 minute session.

We're coming to the end of 2024 and if you still haven't reached your Fitness goals, this video is for you! Did you know that according to the National Institute of Health 42% of adults are obese? Are you one of them? Are you waiting until 2025 when the #1 New Year's resolution is to either get in shape or lose weight? Unfortunately, only about 8% succeed in that area. The best way to ensure that you will lose weight in 2025 is to start working on it now in 2024. In this video, I'm going to give you the 3 steps that I would take if I wanted to lose weight and get into shape by the end of the year. The 2rd step you probably never heard of.  When I was in the Navy, I indulged in the martial arts and other activities, so I was in very good condition and quite muscular at the time. At the tender age of 22, I was approached by one of my superior officers, who thought it was necessary to provide some unsolicited comments about my muscular physique and how by the time I reached his age of 26, I would no longer have that lean, muscular physique, I would start to look like him, out of shape and flabby. Well, decades later, I think back to that conversation and realize what he said as of this day never materialized. Why? because I made fitness a part of my life, and today, I'm going to share my expertise with you, so let's go!  #1 Don't Eat Three to Four Hours Before bedtime. Your metabolism slows down at night, and eating before bedtime forces your body to digest food when it is least efficient, meaning you will store extra calories as fat, and you are loading your body up with fuel that it does not have the capacity or time to burn. This one thing can cause weight gain, especially around the midsection which is the worse place to carry fat.  #2 Intermittent Fasting  In my Six Weeks to Fitness programs, I discuss and strongly encourage Intermittent Fasting for weight loss and to reduce chronic disease. Intermittent fasting is nothing new. For thousands of years, it has been utilized as a healing and spiritual practice. In recent years, fasting has taken on a new direction, one that has its focus on accelerating fat loss. With intermittent fasting, you not only losing weight, but you gain mental focus and clarity. For those of you who are not familiar with intermittent fasting, it is basically time restricted eating, in other words, you only eat during a specific time. So, it's not really dieting, it's just another pattern of eating, and just in case you are under the impression that you can't fast, think again. Every human being on this planet fasts. When you go to bed at night and wake up 6, 7, 8, or more hours later, you have fasted during that length of time, and when you eat your first meal, you are breaking the fast, and that's why it's called “breakfast.” There are various methods of intermittent fasting out there, but the most popular is the 16:8 intermittent fasting method. This method involves limiting your intake of foods and calorie-containing beverages to a set window of 8 hours per day. You abstain from food for the remaining 16 hours, though you're still allowed to drink water and other no-calorie beverages, like black coffee or tea (no crème or sugar). You can choose to start your fast at 8:00 p.m. in the evening and fast until the next day at 12:00 p.m. for a total of 16 hours, after which you break the fast with a light meal. You can eat regular meals during the 8 hours and start back on your fast at 8 p.m. What if the 16:8 intermittent fasting method doesn't work for you because of the long fasting hours? I would suggest you try 12:12, in other words try fasting for 12 hours and have an eating window of 12 hours. Over time your body will adjust to longer fasting hours such as 14:10, 16:8. Intermittent fasting places your body in fat burning mode during the fasting phase. The first nutrient your body uses for energy is carbs, followed by fat, then protein in that order. When you limit the amount of carbs for 16 hours, your body will seek out the next energy source which is fat, and that is why this type of weight loss program is so effective. Most people are not aware of the fact that the body heals itself while it's in a fasting state, which is another reason why you should fast. Let me read some quotes from some very famous historical figures from our past:  It was Plato, who said “I fast for greater physical and mental efficiency.” Benjamin Franklin  said “The best of all medicines is resting and fasting.” Why? You are allowing your body to rest and heal itself. Mark Twain who said "A little starvation can really do more for the average sick man than can the best medicines and the best doctors." – #3 “Peak 8 High Intensity Interval Training”  High Intensity Interval training is a type of physical training that involves short bursts of high-intensity work mixed in with periods of low-intensity work. The high-intensity periods are typically near maximum exertion, while the recovery periods may involve rest or lower intensity. We have become accustomed to believing that doing some type of aerobic exercise for an hour or more is the best way to lose weight, but that's not the case. If you go to any gym the most used equipment is the cardio equipment and the people showing the least improvement in their body composition are the same people running on the cardio machines. If you're serious about losing weight and toning your body in a short amount of time, I highly recommend Peak 8 Interval Training. Every client I introduced to Peak 8 has seen positive results in a matter of a few short weeks and this is NO exaggeration. This activity will put your body in fat burning mode for hours after you complete the activity. In other words, you will continue burning calories for the rest of the day. Now that I “piqued” your interest into Peak 8 training, let's discuss how it is performed. You can perform this exercise while walking or running or if you prefer to use equipment, a treadmill, elliptical or stationary bicycle will do just fine. Peak 8 Start by warming up slowly for three minutes 30 seconds FLAT OUT sprint / 90 sec complete recovery (keep moving slowly) End with a two-minute cool down The actual sprinting totals only 4 minutes! This type of training will put your body in fat burning mode for hours after the workout and this is why it is one of the most important tools to have in your toolbox. There you have it! 3 Steps that are guaranteed to help you lose 10 pounds or more and will help you to get into shape before 2025. Don't be like everyone else waiting for January 1st only to be disappointed by February 1st, the time is now. Let me know what you think about these steps and if you tried them. There is so much we can do to improve our health naturally and quickly, regardless of your age. I am available for one on one coaching and virtual public speaking. I also have an ebook called Six Weeks to A Flatter Stomach, which is based on my very popular Six Weeks to Fitness programs. It comes with my personal money back guarantee. If you don't see a flatter stomach in 6 weeks, I will return your money no questions asked.

Measuring fitness in menopause is complicated. I'm going to take a stab at this and let you know that if you're not measuring beyond your weight, body composition, inches, and muscle mass at regularly scheduled intervals, you're doing a disservice. We get all up in the business of burning calories (wrong goal), having it “feel hard” (sometimes the wrong goal), and forget to measure strength (did you see Olympians test grip strength??? Impressive!) and how well your training is actually helping your HEART. Let's go there. Yes, you want to gain lean muscle. It immediately improves your body composition and takes stress from your heart and joints. It also boosts your metabolism, energy, and blood sugar balance, decreasing insulin resistance and your metabolic health improves. But your heart fitness IS important. Mistakes in Measuring Fitness in Menopause and Beyond. You don't want or need to know your pace or that you did a mile while you're doing it. Why? It gives you a false impression of “good” “bad” and means zero. When you're going uphill, you're going to go slower. When you're doing an interval workout you also won't go as fast as when you're simply walking a steady state (because to do an interval right you should be recovering completely and that means going slower than your steady pace). Only if you personally are doing the exact same trail or route you've done and you're trying to go as fast as you can, would that be important. Not knowing what your heart rate being higher or lower than normal exertion heart rates mean you may interpret it incorrectly as “good” or “bad.” Measuring Fitness in Menopause During Heart Rate Zone Training Unless you've been tested … on the treadmill or bike by an experienced trainer who can monitor your stages and interpret results… the zones shown are based on “average.” For adults over 40, age-related predictions underestimate where you should be. You're then going to get a red flag when potentially you shouldn't. On an interval day, you're not “working too hard” simply because your breathlessness exceeds some arbitrary heart rate not based on you. If it doesn't feel like a fit, get tested. (more below) But on a recovery day, you absolutely could be working too hard even if you “feel fine.” All signs should be assessed, not just one. How do I know this? Less from 40 years of exercise physiology education (and 25 as an educator/master trainer of other trainers)… And more from time training as a triathlete. From day 1 that I decided I wanted to be (I was 20 working at a health club in the south my summers in college) to the point I actually did begin training (I thank 4-0 for making me take action), I was working with a science-geek coach who daylighted/moonlighted as an engineer at a university and a USAT coach to some pros as well as age-group weirdos like me who went to the country club pool… to swim laps, got up at 3am at USAG (golf) events with my son to run miles in the dark before his tee-time. You get the idea. Had I not experienced the ability to test both in clinical settings (I did years of VO2 max testing on students every semester after having done it myself in undergrad and grad school) and more accessible predicted and associative zone testing that can be done using Heart Rate monitors and treadmill protocols to arrive at personal zones, I would have severely UNDER or OVER trained. My post here is to help you avoid doing that. And avoid what you THINK is ideal based on the “peer pressure” from social media that may be less supportive than it is distractive. Measuring Fitness in Menopause (what we think) Always working as hard as possible when exercising Completely relying on “feels like” for recovery status between sessions Getting heart rate high in a long endurance workout The more intervals the better Doing weightlifting and cardio intervals alternately It feels hard It makes me lose weight Measuring Fitness in Menopause and beyond (What is Really Good) Knowing how hard to push for 4 mins vs 30 seconds Knowing how to do a recovery day and keep heart rate low Not allowing heart rate to creep up during a recovery workout Using high intensity intervals on specific days Reaching muscle fatigue with a muscle-specific workout (followed by 48 hrs min recovery) Reaching breathlessness in interval training when you're fresh for optimal speed, resistance or power (depending on the mode) Understanding bike, rowing, and swim heart rates will differ from on your feet but breathlessness doesn't lie The bottom line is this… A good fitness program improves: strength absolute skeletal muscle body composition (decreases body fat) energy levels throughout the day speed heart rate response at the same effort level (lower heart rate at same effort over time) heart rate recovery rate after exercise So, if you aren't TESTING, before you start and periodically, let's get that started right now, shall we? [in our member's area there is a self-test protocol that we'll help you interpret if you share results] Doing a more comprehensive test (like the one using stages of speed and or incline or both) to record heart rate response is the way to determine heart rate zones. The following options won't do that. But they will give you a way to gather information on how you're doing now, compared to averages or not. A Few Facts on Measuring Fitness in Menopause: Heart rate on a bike will be about 10 beats lower than corresponding “work” on your feet (treadmill). So, if you test on a bike, you need to know “bike heart rates” vs “treadmill heart rates.” Want to Test So You Can Measure Fitness in Menopause and Beyond ? VO2 testing is uncomfortable. The last time I did it was December 2018. You don't have to go to a university, but chances are if they have an exercise physiology lab or an extensive athletic program, you can test there. Other fitness and health pros also offer this, most often on a bike. But if that feels like too much or too expensive, you can establish a way to learn if your fitness is working. If you have no access to protocol [our member's area or an experienced coach who can do this] start here: Keep it simple. What is your resting heart rate? First thing in the morning. (average of 3 days) What is your heart rate before this test? Do a mile walk test. (For a more elaborate test that was originally published in 1987, see the Rockport Walking Test, see the resource below). Do it on a flat course that you can repeat exactly. Even though we all have the ability now to do a mile and know, it needs to be repeatable. Same start, same course. A track would be ideal. A treadmill is not. When it's a test you should be pushing it to find out what your fastest walk pace is. Without your feet leaving the ground (this is running), what is your mile walk time? What's your final heart rate? Then how soon does your heart rate come back to the rate you were pre-test? Record that time. Measuring Fitness in Menopause Whether you do this simple test or you use the ROCKPORT test you begin to understand all of the components that measure true fitness. Skinny is not fit. Fat is not unfit. There are health complications with each for both now and later. What you want, no matter your weight, is strong, and getting so will improve your heart too. Now you have data at least to measure whether your fitness is improving. And yes, there is a way to compare yourself to others, however, right now that's not the point. The point is YOU. Is you now fitter than you last year? Is you in six months – let's make a date to do this again by putting it on your calendar – more fit than now? Look, life happens. A virus may happen, as I write, we just saw that again globally at the Olympics. Your smooth sailing life will have babies and funerals and interruptions. But from time to time check in and consider how it's going for you. And how refreshing to actually stop looking at weight and fat for just a second and look at your heart.

The treadmill is doing a degree of the work for you moving that belt. However, if it's the only safe option, do the pre and post test in the same way. Try not to hold on (this should be true always!

They address questions about how long it takes for creatine to clear the system, the benefits of creatine for high-intensity efforts, and the considerations for stopping creatine before a race. They also provide advice for training at high elevation, specifically for someone living in Leadville and preparing for the Leadville 100 mountain bike race. Additionally, they discuss tire choices for a race with deep sand pits. The conversation covers topics such as tire selection for gravel races, recovery after block weeks, and progressive overload in interval training. The hosts discuss the importance of choosing the right tire for gravel races and recommend the Strada Bianca tire in either 40 or 45 size. They also provide insights on recovery after block weeks, suggesting a lower volume week immediately following the block and gradually increasing volume and intensity in the subsequent weeks. In terms of interval training, they discuss the pros and cons of increasing intensity versus increasing time at zone, highlighting the importance of listening to your body and focusing on time in zone.   Keywords creatine, supplementation, training, high elevation, Leadville, race, tire choice, deep sand pits, gravel races, tire selection, recovery, block weeks, progressive overload, interval training   Takeaways Creatine supplementation can provide benefits for short, high-intensity efforts in both the gym and on the bike. The build-up phase for creatine supplementation is typically two weeks, and the build-down phase may also take around two weeks. Living in Leadville and training for the Leadville 100 mountain bike race provides the advantage of being acclimated to the elevation and having the perfect training grounds. For training at high elevation, it may be beneficial to adjust the training schedule to allow for better recovery and consider a two-week build and one-week recovery cycle. When choosing tires for a race with deep sand pits, it's important to consider the terrain and balance between road sections and sand sections. Choose the right tire for gravel races to minimize the risk of flats Recovery after block weeks should include a lower volume week followed by gradually increasing volume and intensity When it comes to interval training, focus on time in zone rather than just increasing intensity Listen to your body and adjust your training accordingly   Titles Training at High Elevation: The Leadville Advantage Optimizing Tire Choice for Races with Deep Sand Pits Recovery Strategies for Block Weeks Optimizing Tire Selection for Gravel Races   Sound Bites "How long does it take for creatine to clear your system after a long period of use?" "How soon before an important race do I need to stop taking creatine?" "Advice for training at high elevation in Leadville" "I don't know. Yeah, I don't know." "Very low chance of flatting at that race." "I think the biggest thing that people screw up with the block weeks is not giving themselves enough recovery afterwards."   Chapters 00:00 Creatine Supplementation and Clearing Time 08:51 Training at High Elevation: The Leadville Advantage 30:17 Balancing Intensity and Time in Zone in Interval Training

Welcome to the Purple Patch podcast! In this week's episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon shares valuable insights on maximizing the benefits of indoor bike trainers to improve outdoor performance. While many of us use an indoor trainer to save time, escape weather conditions during the winter months, and develop fitness through interval training, Matt goes a step further by providing practical tips and tools to upgrade your speed, enhance your outdoor riding experience, and unleash your full potential as a rider. Matt shares effective ways to access a deeper and more focused training session on the indoor bike trainer. He delves into specific strategies, skills, and techniques like leveraging gear usage, cadence, pedal stroke, posture, specificity of intervals, terrain management, and other elements that can help you optimize your bike training well beyond boosting your fitness profile.  Most coaches tend to avoid the topic of skill set acquisition because it is challenging to coach remotely, or they are not familiar with how to approach it. However, this is precisely what we specialize in. It is the backbone of our bike program and our reputation for helping to build stronger and faster riders. Matt reveals the secrets behind our success so that you can connect the dots on how your effort inside applies to you becoming a better bike rider outside.  For even more detail beyond the podcast, attend our Workshop on Wheels and access your chance to get LIVE, real-time coaching on the bike from IRONMAN Master Coach and Purple Patch founder Matt Dixon.

Martin Gibala Ph.D. is Professor and Chair of the Kinesiology Department at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada. His research on the physiological and health benefits of high-intensity interval training has attracted worldwide scientific attention. In this episode we discuss his work in sprint interval training versus traditional interval training, it's effectiveness plus how each influences an endurance athlete's VO2 max and overall performance.  Bob Seebahor is a Board Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics, the former Director of Sports Nutrition for the University of Florida and served as a Sport Dietitian for the US Olympic Committee. He has created a free YouTube presentation called the GI Distress Masterclass in which he talks about the root causes of GI distress in endurance sports and discusses ways to improve digestive health. We touch on the significance of hydration, the impact of environmental conditions and the role of psychological stress, plus we examine the importance of implementing different nutrient timing systems and strategies for training and competition. Finally, we help you navigate the complexities of GI distress in endurance sports using insights from Bob Seebohar's masterclass on the subject. The new IRONMAN Pro Series, is a performance-based world series contested over 12 months at 18 designated IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 events on the full 2024 IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 professional racing calendar.
