Durante la pandemia se celebró un congreso virtual sobre entrenamiento para correr carreras con desnivel. Allí estuvieron científicos de renombre, como Guillaume Millet, y un entrenador, Jason Koop. Es curioso cómo, pese a ser los mayores especialistas del mundo, los científicos escucharon a Koop con mucho más interés que al resto de colegas. Y es que, aunque la ciencia nos aporta información muy útil, no nos da todas las respuestas a la hora de organizar el entrenamiento. Eso sólo lo da el "expertise" o "saber adquirido por experiencia". Conocí este congreso gracias a un Post de Frederic Sabater (Dr en CAFYD y coach en CTS) en su substack. Aquí podéis ver el citado congreso virtual (donde, por cierto, estuvo el mismísimo Kilian Jornet como escuchante): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snBIp6vzkwk Aquí podéis seguir a Fred Sabater: https://substack.com/@fredericspast https://www.instagram.com/fredericspast/ --- Si te ha gustado, suscríbete, ponle un Like, comenta, comparte.

Todo plan de entrenamiento incluye la famosa “Tirada Larga” o, en inglés, “Long Run”. Pero, ¿es tan necesaria? Si cabe acumular mismo volumen semanal a base de muchos entrenos cortos, ¿qué sentido tiene eliminar alguno de esos “cortos” e incluir uno “largo”? Hay el menos un estudio que lo confirma (ver link abajo): experimentamos mayor estrés y fatiga en una sesión larga que en dos cortas separadas entre sí 6h y que suman la misma carga de trabajo. Esa fatiga intra-sesión, que se produce en la Tirada Larga nos prepara mejor para lo que luego encontraremos en carrera, al menos si nos dedicamos a la maratón o la ultra. Vale, y ¿cómo exactamente configurar la Tirada Larga? ¿Cuán “larga” debe ser? Los entrenadores Jack Daniels, Scott Johnston y Jason Koop tienen sus respectivas propuestas. Las revisamos aquí.

In this episode of the All Things Endurance Podcast, host Rick Prince chats with renowned ultrarunning coach/author and UESCA principal, Jason Koop about training considerations for 100+ mile ultramarathons. Across many endurance sports disciplines, there is a trend toward longer distance races, and ultrarunning is no exception. Some of the topics that Rick and Jason discuss are:1.       Why do you think there is such an interest in 100+ mile ultras now?2.       From a volume perspective, are there any general training guidelines that athletes looking to target 100+ mile races should pay attention to?3.       From a nutritional demand standpoint, what, if any are the differences between a 100+ mile ultra and a < 100+ mile ultra?4.       Should someone racing a 100+ mile ultra, still include intensity in their training program?5.       Are there any race distance prerequisites that someone racing an 100+ mile ultra distance should consider?6.       Any special training/race prep considerations to take into account if training for a 100+ mile ultra?

View all show notes and timestamps on the KoopCast website.Episode overview: In this first of four episodes on drugs in ultramarathon running, Eve Pannone joins the podcast to discuss NSAIDs in endurance sport. The widespread use of NSAIDs like ibuprofen (Advil) and naproxen (Aleve) in ultramarathon running is alarming due to the health risks associated with kidney disease, electrolyte imbalance, and other factors. NSAIDs exacerbate some of the stresses of endurance sport to dangerous levels and have no proven performance benefit, yet changing public perception is a challenge. In this episode we break down why NSAIDs are harmful, what we can do as a community to protect athlete health, and viable alternatives to painkillers. If you enjoy this episode, be sure to check out the next three episodes in this mini-series.Episode highlights:(6:15) Defining NSAIDs: demystifying pain relievers, Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, pain relievers that work by reducing inflammation, ibuprofen (Advil), naproxen (Aleve), and others, controversy around Aspirin, Tylenol is not an NSAID(10:28) Why NSAIDs are harmful: NSAIDs do not improve performance, risks and side effects, acute kidney injury, electrolyte imbalances, no positive and all negative effects(40:48) Alternatives to NSAIDs: caffeine, paracetamol (Tylenol) is low risk but medical interventions to reduce pain are generally a bad idea, accept that ultrarunning is going to hurtAdditional resources:What is known about the health effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use in marathon and ultra-endurance running: a scoping reviewKoop's article on Ironman's Partnership with AlleveSUBSCRIBE to Research Essentials for UltrarunningBuy Training Essentials for Ultrarunning on Amazon or Audible.Information on coaching-www.trainright.comKoop's Social MediaTwitter/Instagram- @jasonkoop

This week we're back with James Risley as we continue the conversation about riding Le Loop - 3,500km of riding with 55,000m (yes, FIFTY FIVE HUNDRED METRES) of climbing, including some of the toughest climbs in France and Spain. Last week we talked about the preparation for the event and navigating life challenges - work, relationships, sleep - in order to get enough miles on the clock.   In today's episode we talk about the event itself and James outlines a few issues he never even considered prior to Le Loop - like what happens when 100 riders are in a line waiting to get coffee at 6am and there is only ONE slow coffee machine.   In this episode you'll get a real idea of how, even when things are way less than perfect, the human body can still get things done, as long as you let the mind do its thing.   Feet, hands, and butt might be more important than fitness on a multi day ride Processed carbs and a lack of protein It's like riding in the 90's - no Garmin, just arrows to follow Why it's important to choose roommates carefully Beware the post-event depression What next?   The best place to find out more about James and to contact him if you have questions about Le Loop is on LinkedIn.   Click on the link find out more about Le Loop. William Wates Memorial Trust - this is the charity which runs and organises Le Loop.

In this episode of "Running: State of the Sport," George and Amby chat with Chris Chavez, founder and prime mover-shaker behind Citius Magazine. In just a few years, Citius has become a top media player in coverage of elite track/field and road racing.  While carrying old media nomenclature, ie, "Magazine," Citius is a thoroughly modern digital operation. It includes podcasts, blogs, newsletters, and on-site coverage of major events like the Olympics, World Championships, and U.S. Championships.  Chavez himself races everything from the mile to the marathon, including a 3:17 in last fall's NYC Marathon. But he ranks higher as a writer-reporter, having learned the ropes at Sports Illustrated before founding Citius Magazine. George and Amby were impressed that Chris discussed the business side of Citius as openly as the editorial operation. Also, he explained his passion for attracting more young folks to become fans of running (and even media like himself.) Chris expressed no regrets about how super shoes have affected the sport, and didn't pull punches when naming his top 3 male and female picks for the Marathon Trials on Feb. 3. He's got a sense of humor, too. Chris said one of his Fairy Godmother Wishes for the coming year was to sell Citius Magazine for a price like what the New York Times paid for The Athletic. (Which is thought to be $550 million.) Go for it, Chris! Before the conversation with Chris, George and Amby discussed some of their favorite running podcasts of 2023. Amby's list included: the "Let's Run podcast," "Koop Cast" with coach Jason Koop, and Ali Feller's "Ali on the Run." George noted: Citius Mag's recent podcasts with Parker Valby, Katelyn Tuohy, and CJ Albertson; "Nobody Asked Us" with Kara Goucher and Des Linden; "Set the Pace" with Rob Simmelkjaer and Meb Keflezighi; "The Morning Shakeout" with Mario Fraoli; and "Some Work, All Play" with Megan and David Roche.
