Yash talks about his 6 training principles – 1) Take it slow every step of the way 2) build a strong aerobic base, by focusing on doing majority of runs at an easy pace 3) focus on overall body conditioning thru’ yoga or strength training 4) Pay attention to a diet that works for you, like vegan diet is now working for Yash 5) Do “purposeful recovery” – to quote Yash, “recovery day is the absence of a hard workout but it is not the presence of indulgence” 6) do mental training during your workouts. He goes on to discuss "Pftizinger's" training method, his switch to vegan diet and is role as a trainer and pacer.

We had a lot of fun sharing our favorite running (and other) related book we read in 2019.  Note, these are just a sampling of the books but some of our favorites.  You'll want to listen in on the details and what we loved about them.  If you see my running pic and wonder why it's the episode photo, it's because I'm wearing my Aftershokz headphones as I read the rest of my next book; I would share which one I was listening to, but since this pic is from 2020 you'll have to wait until next year to get that list. :) I'm not sure if you can tell, but reading is a huge deal in our home.  We had to cut out so many books shared in this episode and even shared below.  If you want a more full list, I encourage you to contact me and I can fill you in on more either from myself or Audrey. Before I share that full list, you'll want to check out our sponsor, Audible, where you can get a trial membership for 30 days and then jump into the Audible Challenge 2020 (for new and current members) where if you read (listen to) 3 books of 3 hours or more by March 3rd (get it - 3/3 by 3/3?!) you can get a free $20 Amazon gift card!  I'm already halfway there and my books are much longer than 3 hours. :)  I love listening to audiobooks and find that Audible gives me immediate access to the books I want to listen to.  When I'm done with my "book from the month" I just jump back over and listen to podcasts the rest of the month.  Funny thing is I never run out of things to listen to. In the meantime, here's just a short sample of some of the books you heard about in our episode: Anyone else listen to audiobooks when you run? Any favorites I should read? Have you read any of these? Running Related: Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds by David Goggins Although not exactly a running book (he is an ultra runner and discussed experiences at multiple races including the 135-mile Badwater through Death Valley) this is hugely life changing (including your training). Please note the explicit language you might expect from a Navy Seal.   Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand A MUST! I'm not sure if a book has emotionally affected me as much as this. After finishing, it took me a while to recover to talk without breaking into tears. Seriously.   80/20 Running: Run Stronger and Race Faster by Training Slower by Matt Fitzgerald, Robert Johnson Although I already had this mindset going into the book (I just need to more consistently apply it) this was a nice expansion to my understanding of Train Slow Race Fast! Highly encouraged to read it!   A Race Like No Other: 26.2 Miles Through the Streets of New York by Liz Robbins A MUST if you ever plan to run the New York City Marathon!   The Rise of the Ultra Runners by Adharanand Finn Full of anecdotal stories by one aspiring ultra runner. I wasn't in love with this book but a good introduction into races in Europe that I might have not otherwise heard.   Training for Ultra: Ultra Running Stories from the Middle of the Pack by Rob Steger I had no idea that Rob's podcast was by the same author but loved his stories and recaps of some amazing races. Also love hearing from runners "like the rest of us" instead of the elite runners we hear about in books every day.   Nowhere Near First: Ultramarathon Adventures from the Back of the Pack by Cory Reese After a heart-wrenching start to his ultra running career, this guy knows how to suffer. The book is motivating and entertaining throughout his descriptions of how he transformed into the runner he is today.   Into the Furnace: How a 135 Mile Run Across Death Valley Set My Soul on Fire by Cory Reese, Luke Thoreson Great followup to his first book. Enjoyed hearing so many details on a race that intrigues me on so many different levels.   The Pursuit of Endurance: Harnessing the Record-Breaking Power of Strength and Resilience by Jennifer Pharr David Not originally a trail runner, she held the FKT on the Appalachian Trail. Her stories of the trail and her experiences make it a fun listen.   North by Scott Jurek and Jenny Jurek Have been a Scott Jurek fan for years so had to listen to this book. Enjoyed the experiences added by his wife, Jenny, possibly more so. Great listen!   Two Hours by Ed Caesar A must-read for those that have read dozens of running books but nothing to write home about. I would put most of the other books in front of this one but still a worthy read.   Not Running Related: Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card It's been years since I last heard this book. I think I caught more subtleties on the characters and their interactions as a more experienced adult.   The Learning Brain by The Great Courses Truly educational and eye opening! Enjoyed the tips throughout on how to increase my own learning and memory potential.   Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury Not the book I was expecting. Asked to read by my daughter, this gripping novel surprised me by its message and relevance for everyone to listen to today.   1984 by George Orwell Another book as requested by my daughter. This book was so gripping I had to find chores around the house for a weekend to finish it. I could not walk away from this one!   The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri Another requested by my daughter. I found this one intriguing and listened through all three lands (most just read Inferno). Reading cliff notes after each chapter helped solidify what I heard.   Hamlet by William Shakespeare As I prepared to introduce Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (amazing movie - check it out!) I realized I had never really read Hamlet. There are so many cultural references that I didn't realize came from this book. The stage presentation was enjoyable and made it easier to listen to. And yes, the movie made even more sense after reading this as well! :)   The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells Yes another recommended by my daughter - can you tell she's well read? Her writing reflects it! I expected this to be a "dated" book but loved the narrative, the story, and found myself a bit emotional at parts.   The Peloponnesian War by Thucydides I have to admit I only got through about 15 hours of this book. Spurred to read this by my daughter (read along as she read it for class) I plowed through the book, watching YouTube videos for context. Although a classic, I gave up towards the end as she finished the book way faster than me. :)   Measure What Matters: How Google, Bono, and the Gates Foundation Rock the World with OKRs by John Doerr Likely not for everyone, but a gem! I can see this being helpful for your life no matter your vocation as it can literally apply to all! I invite you to send any book recommendations to me so I can add them to my list for 2020.

Coached in “kampung spirit” of Integrated Riding Racing Team (IRRT) - takes a village to ride fast! Kudos to Merle Talviste (Swim Smooth coaching Singapore)Tell us about your philosophy on nutritionNutritional choices (what to take) is NOT diet (sum of intake). Let's get terms right. Most important aspect is Hunger vs. Appetite. Figure your Estimated Energy Requirement: http://bit.ly/foodbuddy-eer Set yourself up for the reality around you. Then get bored! How I pre-select to fight appetite. Recipes. Patterns.VICE uploaded “Mac & Cheese for 17 years” - “I've tried celery. I threw that shit out instantly” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1TWvXwgKr0 .Crazy case of some nervosa, definitely not anorexia nervosa though.Anyways, it's ABCD - no single right answer! Nutritional Needs Assessment uncovers it:● Anthropometric (i.e. BMI %%-s, fat loss progress, )● Biochemical (nutrient deficiencies, cholesterol level, OGTT for Diabetes)● Clinical (skin state, etc.)● Dietary (ecological / social status, certain food restrictions due to religion, food log, habits)As to athletes… aspiring vs. amateur, let's be real.● Eliud Kipchoge - Maurten hydrogel 2018, 2019. By the way there's a study that it's not really working as it's supposed to?.. Well, it works for Eliud anyways.● Chris Froome - haribo gummy candies in Giro D'Italia 2018 while losing 1 kg over 5 days.So did Peter Sagan.For us, ex-hunters with 10,000-s of years of experience, - everything edible is great in moderation.There are lots of diets that endurance athletes follow from Vegan, to Paleo to HCLF to Full Keto. What do you believe is the ideal diet for endurance sportsSuccessful event is a factor of preparation, mental health, in-race nutrition, luck (i.e. weather). Successful result is equivalent to “high performance”. High performance usually means lower mass.There's a new movie about vegan diet that throws in a bunch of claims by the way:● “Roman gladiators didn't eat meat” - that's an anecdote from archaeologist, Andrew Curry, in Archaelogoly Magazine 2008: Karl Grossschmidt of Medical University of Vienna, Vienna (MedUni Vienna). Gladiators, it seems, were fat. Consuming a lot of simple carbohydrates, such as barley, and legumes, like beans, was designed for survival in the arena. Packing in the carbs also packed on the pounds. "Gladiators needed subcutaneous fat," Grossschmidt explains. "A fat cushion protects you from cut wounds and shields nerves and blood vessels in a fight." Not only would a lean gladiator have been dead meat, he would have made for a bad show. Surface wounds "look more spectacular," says Grossschmidt. "If I get wounded but just in the fatty layer, I can fight on," he adds. "It doesn't hurt much, and it looks great for the spectators."● Claim “on par”. Plants could be an extremely good source of protein if all 9 essential amino acids + Nitrogen containing amino acids, but to say that it is on par with animal protein in terms of minerals like iron, vitamins like creatine, and synthesis availability (which are incredibly important for high performing athletes) is an outright BS.For vegetarians, it is important to know that Protein Quality = Amino Acid Composition + Digestibility (soy is best, up to 90% where 100% is meat)Beef is less than egg whiteI eat eggs and drink milk = top PQ food :-) therefore, are you ovo-lacto-vegetarian :-)Complementary: legumes + grains (different amino-acids).Biological Value = (nitrogen retained, g / nitrogen absorbed, g) * 100Higher = better matchLower = lower matchFAT content in meat is higher, yes. There are two types of fat absorption: for saturated fat it's through lymphatic system (chylomicrons, leading to LDL) and through intestine walls then venes and to liver (for unsat / polyunsat). Former flies past the adipose tissue reserves through lymphatic system, resulting in subcutaneous fat refills uncontrolled. Latter is controllable but again, there are two vehicles that can be determined using biochemical blood test -- High Density Lipoproteins (HDL) GOOD lipoprotein -- very small size, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) BAD as can potentially clog the arterias.LCHFRothschild JA, Bishop DJ, Effects of Dietary Supplements on Adaptations to Endurance Training, Sports Med. 2019 Sep 17, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s40279-019-01185-8 (shout out, he's in New Zealand doing his PhD)Over the past 20 years, research suggested that strategically reducing carbohydrate (CHO) availability during an athlete's training can modify the metabolic responses in lieu of simply maintaining a high CHO diet. Several methods have been explored to manipulate CHO availability and include: Low-carb, high-fat (LCHF) diets, performing two-a-day training without glycogen restoration between sessions, and a “sleep-low” approachArguments in favor of trying to increase fat-burning capacity focus around the ability to utilize the large stores of endogenous lipids found even in very lean athletes, while preserving the relatively limited supply of muscle and liver glycogen. Yet despite this theoretical advantage, measurable performance improvements from deliberately increasing fat burning capacity have been elusive.Each of these methods can confer beneficial metabolic adaptations for the endurance athlete including increases in mitochondrial enzyme activity, mitochondrial content, and rates of fat oxidation, yet data showing a direct performance benefit is still unclear.Do you believe in strict macros or simply calories in calories outThey all converge to one another, if you do it right. Estimated Energy Requirements (EER) is key here, and think about 7 days sliding windos.Another way to think about food is through the portions count of a particular quality. Kind of Matt Fidzgerald's approach. Know your EER + tweak PAL. Think last 7 days window. Control thirst-induced hunger. Eat breakfast like a pro.How do you believe the diet differs for each endurance sportEverywhere it's Gravity. Gravity is mass. Mass also non-linear to skin area, there's a formula to that. Thus the more mass - the more heat-induced stress from energy production, but not proportionally enough evaporation. Fat % reduction vs. temperature range vs. VO2max. Same stuff.What is your philosophy on nutrition during raceDepends on the race. Drink by thirst, do not fall below, do Protein.What is your philosophy on nutrition in recoverySleep. Compensation vs. recovery. DOMS. Antioxidants. Orange, Lime, Strawberries. Guava.Protein ratio to Carbohydrates. 30% of EER means ~0.8g/kg/day . Increase with intensity. Don't compensate!I do collagen peptides for 100+ km weeksHow do you feel about fasting as a method for endurance athletes.Time restricted eating and longer term fastsExercise more! Ride up grades, don't buy upgrades!What about alcohol? Red wine good / bad? Volume?7 cal/g, balance with life.Do you recommend protein shakes?Depends on training volume, but the the NuZest is great.What about supplements? Vitamins, minerals, fish oils? Do you recommend and how do you suggest people review which supplements they should get. I've done DNAFit which showed a genetic lack of B6 and B12Do the Clinical blood test and talk to doctor.

Beetroot juice may be more effective than nitrate salts, though the eficiency of supplementation can be affected by inter-individual variability [97] and environmental conditions [98].

Episode Notes In this episode, we launch into the Summer Shorts for the month of August. The episodes will be around ten minutes long as it's time to get outside, enjoy the open air, take our holidays, and most importantly, catch up on some reading. So, each Summer Short will cover a couple of books that are recommended and one book that I'm going to be reading myself. This week we have: 80/20 Running: Run Stronger and Race Faster by Training Slower by Matt Fitzgerald I’ve mentioned this before. I’m a big fan of Matt’s - his writing is lucid and revealing. It helps that he’s confirming all my pre-held convictions and biases. In short, runners run too hard and don’t rest enough but the truth is, as is normal, more complex than the simple title of the book. One of my Eight Essential Running Books for Blokes. Amazon link Factfulness by Hans Rosling with Ola Rosling and Anna Rosling Rönnlund The quote on the front from Bill Gates is pretty darn good. I already knew of the website gapfinder.org. There’s a test there. Take it. I got 8 out of 13 which shows I’ve still got plenty to learn. See how you get on. Amazon link The Confidence Game by Maria Konnikova This is all about the psychological principles that underpin con artists and how we get conned. I'm looking forward to lots of stories of imposters but I’m also hoping to get plenty of insight into the underlying psychology of the con.

Multiple studies reveal runners, triathletes, and other endurance athletes improve the most when they consistently do 80 percent of their training at low intensity and the other 20 percent at moderate to high intensity. David Warden, co-author of 80/20 Triathlon explains why and how you will become faster if you start doing more slow training.    IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -What is the 80/20 intensity distribution in practice -What is the science behind 80/20 intensity distributions -How most age-groupers fall way short of doing 80% of their training at an easy intensity: most do only 50%, if that.  -Does 80/20 still apply if your total training volume is low? -Practical advice for getting started with 80/20 training.  SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts121/   THAT TRIATHLON SHOW HOMEPAGE: www.thattriathlonshow.com   SPONSORS: Precision Hydration - One-size doesn't fit all when it comes to hydration.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-342 – Matt Fitzgerald – How bad do you want it?  (Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4343.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello my friends and welcome to episode 4-342 of the RunRunLive Podcast.  Today we talk with author Matt Fitzgerald, mostly about his new book   You may know Matt’s name from Runner’s World, Competitor and Men’s Fitness among other publications.  His 2014 book “80/20 Running: Run Stronger and Race Faster By Training Slower” made a big splash.  Matt and I geek out about the mental aspects of racing to your limits, both physical and psychological. In section one I’m going to report on my lessons learned from the Boston marathon this year.  (I must be a slow learner because I keep having to learn some lessons over and over!) In Section two I’m going to give you my takeaways from a book I read on conversation tactics. … The RunRunLive podcast is Ad Free and listener supported.  We do this by offering a membership option where members get Access To Exclusive Members Only audio Member only race reports, essays and other bits just for you! Exclusive Access to Individual Audio Segments from all Shows Intro’s, Outro’s, Section One running tips, Section Two life hacks and Featured Interviews – all available as stand-alone MP3’s you can download and listen to at any time. New on the members feed is a letter I wrote for my Daughter when she graduated that made me cry and an introspective essay on the nature of change. For the cost of a one faux leather bookmark with a bible quote on it about everlasting love you can be a member of the runrunlive support crew. Links are in the show notes and at RunRunLive.com … Well my friends we’ve made it to the summer solstice.  That time that is the official, astronomical beginning of summer.  The longest day up here in the northern hemisphere where the earth wobbles precariously, catches itself and begins the long, drunken careen back to winter.  If you’re in the southern hemisphere you can just switch all the words with their opposites.  For all the pagan sun worshippers out there you need to build some stone circles and do a little dance.  Maybe sacrifice something – like a six pack of lager.  If you don’t believe the earth is round, well there’s no hope for you.  If you want to have some fun ask random people basic astronomy questions, like “Does the earth orbit the sun or does the sun orbit the earth?”  Or “Name the planets?”  Then sit back and be surprised with the answers. It is getting warm up in my neck of the woods.  The deer flies are out. I’m adjusting to it as always.  For everything there is a season – Turn, Turn, Turn.  Mostly I’m just trying to get all my runs in and trying to keep all the balls in the air. I’m doing a lot of trail running and some mountain biking.  It’s all good.  Friday I hit the ski area next to my house and did some reps on my bike up the tubing hill.  It’s just about right for me to get to max effort at the top without blowing up or falling over.  Sunday I did 2 hours in the trails before going to have a father’s Day lunch with my Mom and brother. I’m a bit tired today.  We had one of those summer thunderstorm fronts role through at 3 in the morning.  Thunder and lightning cause Buddy the old wonder dog a lot of personal stress and he needs to share his unhappiness with me.  Sometimes he goes and hides in the bath tub.  Sometimes we’ll open the basement door and let him hide down there.  But usually he just wanders the house being miserable like last night. It’s summer.  What are you going to do?  I don’t mind running in the heat as long as I’m acclimated and kitted out for it.  I love running in a warm summer rain.  … I was down in Atlanta last week all week.  It was a series of all-hands type meetings where the whole company comes in.  I was on stage for some of it.  It’s a tiring week.  There’s the travel, the preparation, getting up to get my workouts in, being engaged all day and then socializing at night.  I did manage to get enough sleep to execute.  I did manage to get some sort of workouts in in the morning.  It was super-hot in Atlanta.  High 90’s with humidity.  Even in the morning I was soaked from running outside.  I told them the only thing keeping me from bursting into flames was the humidity.  We were down near Georgia Tech this time so I got to explore the tech campus on one run – which was fun.  I also got to go to a Braves game one night. Matt and I are going to talk a lot about mental training today in the interview.  Your mental engagement in the training and racing is as important as the physical engagement.  You can’t be successful unless you have both.  It’s that perfect combination of mental engagement and physical capabilities that makes you successful.  I think you can draw a parallel to your career.  If you hate what you’re doing and are not mentally engaged it doesn’t matter how good you are at it, you will still struggle.  The inverse is true as well.  If you are mentally engaged but don’t know what you’re doing it won’t work either.  One of the telltale signs that you aren’t mentally engaged in what you’re doing is whether the doing of it saps your energy or energizes you.  If you are fully, mentally bought in to a job you will have inexhaustible energy to pour into it.  Doing the work will give you energy.  If you’re in a position where doing the work exhausts you while you are doing the work then either the work or the people you’re working with are not for you.  There is a disconnect there.  Pay attention and see which way your energy meter runs when you’re doing the work. When I was jogging around the Tech campus I was listening to DirtDawg talk about the difference between a job, a career and a calling.  One of those differences is in the way your energy flows. On with the show. Section one – Lessons Learned from the Boston Marathon - Voices of reason – the conversation Matt Fitzgerald “The mind is the athlete.” —Bryce Courtenay Matt Fitzgerald is an acclaimed endurance sports writer and authority. His many previous books include the best-selling Racing Weight; RUN: The Mind-Body Method of Running by Feel; Brain Training for Runners; and Diet Cults.

Happy Father’s Day.  Does everyone have their summer plans?  Are you ready?  Have you filled your kiddie pool in the backyard up with ice? 4th of July in the States is on a Monday this year.  I don’t have any plans.  I guess I’ll have to venture down and see if my Cape house is still standing.  Maybe I’ll recreate Thoreau’s walk up the outer Cape to Provincetown?  That might be epic.  We’re coming into that time where the Europeans take the whole summer off.  Work tends to slow down as people head out to vacation.  I’ll keep it short today because I don’t have a lot to say.  Please consider becoming a member – It’s how I justify the time and money it takes to pull off this podcast.  Also if you are looking at a Fall race you might want to check out my book MarathonBQ.  If you want to get faster, or want to try some speedwork, this is the book where I lay out my speedwork secrets that I used to take 40 minutes off my marathon time and qualify for Boston.  It’s on Amazon Kindle and also in Audio on Audible.  Links in the show notes and on my website. … Coming into last week’s trip to Atlanta I had a couple amusing challenges.  I was out trail running with Ryan, caught a toe and did the classic tuck and roll to keep from face planting.  But when I stopped rolling I was right in the middle of a giant poison ivy patch.  I’m super allergic to poison ivy.  It was a hot day.  We were miles from the trail head.  I had to get on a plane later in the day. When we were coming back we passed a garage where I guy was hosing out school buses with a high-pressure water hose.  So, we went over and got him to hose me down. It was very refreshing!  I scrubbed off as well as I could when I got home before heading for the airport.  Then I’m sitting in the airport and a crown comes loose on one of my molars.  So here I am, getting ready to go to Atlanta to be on stage and engaged.  I’m losing a tooth and there’s a good chance I’m going to swell up into a giant, puss-y rash in front of the whole company! Thankfully the bus wash and quick shower were able to mitigate an uncontrolled dermatological explosion.  I got a couple itchy bits but nothing compared to what could have been.  Dodged a bullet there.  My tooth stayed put until Wednesday when I found it in a piece of pizza at lunch, but it didn’t hurt and I was able to get it patched up when I got back.  See?  Things never turn out as bad as we imagine they will! I’ll see you out there. MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks -
