The more hardcore and devoted you get to fitness, the more risk you bring that you might actually be doing things the wrong way and getting counterproductive results. In this episode, I break down 5 ways you may be screwing up your fitness goals—even if you’re consistent, disciplined, and training hard. We talk about why sleep, rest, recovery, and downtime are the foundation for everything else, why the body is a dynamic organism and not a machine you can program, and why you have to be careful about outsourcing your intuition to technology. I also dive into why VO2 max is overhyped, why zone 1 deserves more attention, how chronic cardio and narrow fitness goals can compromise longevity, and why so many people are missing the most important pieces of lifelong fitness: strength, power, and sprinting. In this episode, I reveal that the solution is simple: move frequently at a slow pace, lift regularly, and sprint occasionally. Whether you’re an athlete or someone focused on staying fit, strong, and capable throughout life, this episode will challenge how you think about training for true full-body functional fitness and longevity.

What if the thing that helps you run faster now also protects you from becoming fragile later?In this episode, I break down VO2 max in the most practical way possible: what it is, why runners should care, how much your watch can actually be trusted, and why the number matters for way more than race performance. We get into the difference between VO2 max, threshold, running economy, zone 2, hard intervals, and field testing. And we do it all without turning it into a science textbook.The bigger idea is simple: VO2 max is not just about running faster. It is about building a higher ceiling now so you have more room to perform, recover, age well, and avoid becoming fragile later. We also cover the workouts that actually move the needle, why easy running alone is probably not enough if you are time-poor, and how to start adding VO2 max work without blowing yourself up.Timestamps[00:01:46] Vo2 Max Defined[00:03:42] What's The difference between watch and mask treadmill lab test[00:05:20] Use This To Improve Your Vo2 Max Now[00:07:11] Why Vo2 Max isn't the only metric to make you a better runner[00:07:51] Brady's back story and his Vo2 Max of 80[00:08:54] Is the Car Analogy the best for Vo2 Max?[00:10:12] Ignore Your Smart Watch and Focus on the Bigger Zoomed out Story[00:11:26] Take These After Vo2 Max Runs To Recover Better[00:14:39] Why Low Carb Won't Get You To your Best Time[00:15:55] Difference between Threshold & Vo2 Max HR zones[00:18:18] Can you improve Vo2 Max by not doing zone 4 work?[00:18:58] Physiology is a spectrum not an exact[00:20:42] Don't Rely on 220 Minus Age for Max HR Number[00:22:42] Do You Have To Run at a Certain Speed/Force to Improve Vo2 Max?[00:26:16] How can someone go and test their Vo2 Max?[00:27:45] Does Doing The Mile Help Improve Vo2 Max?[00:28:37] Is it Good to do a Vo2 Max & Threshold Lab Test Same Time?[00:29:25] Why Vo2 Max & Longevity are so connected[00:31:17] Why Fit Trained 60yo Are Healthier than Sedentary 30yo[00:35:30] Why Low Vo2 Max on Older People is so Dangerous[00:41:08] Zone 2 vs Vo2 Max Training and Fitness[00:43:43] Is Zone 3, 4 and 5 better for Time Strapped Runners?[00:46:12] Higher intensity training is 9 times more effective than low intensity[00:47:58] What Vo2 Max Number is Best to Target?[00:51:34] Why Norwegian 4x4 is the best for beginners with Vo2 Max[00:53:33] Is 30 sec on 20 sec off good for new vo2 max runners?[00:56:14] Should Vo2 Max Intervals go over 5 minutes[00:57:48] Does Vo2 Max Stop Improving after 6 Weeks[00:59:50] Why There Is Not Such Thing a Non Exercise Responder[01:02:13] How a New Runner Can Get Used to Vo2 Max Efforts[01:06:06] Starter 3 Days a Week Build Your Vo2 Max Plan[01:09:06] Is This a Vo2 Max Workout?

This episode breaks down Brandon McNulty's intense VO2 max and anaerobic workout, exploring its benefits, how to adapt it for different skill levels, and where it fits into training cycles. Coaches Landry Bobo and Brendan Housler share insights on optimizing high-intensity training for racing success.

Salut les sportifs intelligents ! Cette semaine on va parler du marqueur que tout le monde ignore et qui décide réellement de ta capacité à perdre du poids : la VO2 max. Tu fais du sport presque tous les jours. Tu fais attention à ton assiette. Tu coches toutes les cases… et la balance ne bouge pas. Et cette petite voix qui te répète que c'est de ta faute, que tu n'en fais pas assez. Dans cet épisode, je vais te prouver que c'est faux — et te donner la vraie raison. Parce que ton corps ne résiste pas par manque de volonté. Il résiste parce que ses hormones lui ordonnent de stocker, et parce que son « moteur » est devenu moins bon pour aller puiser dans tes graisses. La bonne nouvelle ? Ça, ça se rééduque. Au programme : Pourquoi deux femmes avec la même assiette et le même déficit obtiennent des résultats opposés Ce qu'est vraiment la flexibilité métabolique, et pourquoi ton corps brûle du sucre au lieu de tes graisses Pourquoi surveiller obsessionnellement ta glycémie te fait regarder au mauvais endroit Les 2 étages pour relancer la machine : agrandir le moteur (NEAT + cardio) et desserrer le frein à main (sommeil, stress, nutrition) Comment réveiller ton métabolisme sans te priver davantage ni te tuer à la salle

Dit is de 270e aflevering van de Slimmer Presteren Podcast, over sport, onderzoek en innovatie. In deze aflevering hebben Gerrit en Jurgen het over:Welke fysieke factor bepaalt nou echt jouw talent in duursport?INLEIDING:Weet jij nog waar je was toen Sawe onlangs onder de 2 uur dook op de marathon in London? De sportwereld stond op zijn kop, maar wat bepaalt duurprestatie nu écht als we wegblijven van uitgekauwde gesprekken over schoenen, voeding en doping. Wat als we puur naar de wetenschappelijke data kijken?En waarom zien we dan dat atleten met de allerhoogste VO₂max, in de praktijk vaak een opmerkelijk slechte loop-efficiëntie hebben?Deze week slopen we een aantal hardnekkige trainings-mythes aan de hand van een grootschalige studie onder bijna negenhonderd sporters. We fileren de VO₂max-schatting op je Garmin en leggen uit hoe je een continue lactaatmeter op je arm gebruikt om je kostbare suikervoorraad te beschermen.En wat bezielt topcoach Guido Vroemen om te beweren dat een gigantische aerobe motor je aan de finishstreep uiteindelijk geen enkele medaille oplevert?Vragen die in deze aflevering worden beantwoord:1. Wat bedoelen inspanningsfysiologen nu precies wanneer het over de menselijke motor gaat?Jurgen legt uit dat inspanningsfysiologen de menselijke motor ontleden aan de hand van het klassieke model van dr. Michael Joyner uit 1991. Dit model leunt op drie fysiologische componenten. Allereerst kijk je naar de VO₂max, wat je kunt zien als de brute cilinderinhoud van de sporter. Daarnaast telt de fractie die je langdurig kunt benutten zonder te verzuren. De derde pijler is de efficiëntie, oftewel hoe zuinig je met je schaarse energie omspringt. Tegenwoordig voegen we daar nog veerkracht aan toe: het vermogen van je spieren om na urenlange belasting nog even efficiënt te blijven draaien.2. Wat zijn de belangrijkste prestatie indicatoren tijdens duursport volgens recent onderzoek?Jurgen deelt de resultaten van een grootschalig onderzoek onder 888 sporters dat een streep zet door veel speculatie. De absolute hoofdrolspeler blijkt de VO₂max te zijn. Deze factor verklaart maar liefst 70 tot 75 procent van de variatie in waar de fysiologische drempels van duursporters liggen. Jouw individuele efficiëntie bepaalt vervolgens nog eens 20 tot 25 procent van het verschil. Verrassend genoeg ontdekten de onderzoekers dat de fractie, dus het exacte percentage van je totale capaciteit dat je benut op je omslagpunt, nauwelijks een rol speelt bij de onderlinge verschillen tussen getrainde sporters.3. Waarom zegt een hoge VO2 max toch niet alles?Jurgen wijst op een fysiologische paradox bij de toplopers uit het Breaking 2-project. Atleten met een extreem hoge VO₂max bleken vaak een relatief slechtere loop-efficiëntie te hebben. Het menselijk lichaam compenseert brute capaciteit blijkbaar met een hoger zuurstofverbruik per kilometer. Daarnaast benadrukt Guido dat een laboratoriumwaarde puur je sportieve potentie toont, maar geen garanties geeft aan de finishstreep. Zodra er demorages of tempowisselingen plaatsvinden, zoals bij mountainbiker Rens Theunisse, is een goed ontwikkelde anaerobe tank minstens zo beslissend om je concurrenten bergop kapot te rijden.4. Waar liggen de grenzen van de menselijke duurprestatie?De fysiologische grens verschoof onlangs flink toen Sebastian Sawe de marathon officieel aflegde in 1:59:30. Jurgen herinnert ons eraan dat dr. Michael Joyner in 1991 al berekende dat de perfecte menselijke motor theoretisch een marathontijd van 1:57 tot 1:58 moet kunnen klokken. De echte grens in de praktijk verschuift tegenwoordig vooral door slimmere training van de fysiologische veerkracht en nauwkeurige monitoring via sensoren. Guido vult aan dat we de grens van ons uithoudingsvermogen effectief oprekken door ons tempo zo af te stemmen dat de lactaatwaarden stabiel blijven, waarmee we vroegtijdige uitputting van onze suikervoorraden voorkomen.5. Wat voegt het meten van je waarden via een sporthorloge of een continue lactaatmeter echt toe aan je training?Guido legt uit dat de automatische VO₂max-schatting van een Garmin een aardige trendlijn laat zien, maar bij fysiologische uitersten de plank misslaat omdat het algoritme met een gemiddelde efficiëntie rekent. De nieuwe continue lactaatmeters op de arm moet je volgens hem bovendien niet gebruiken als een mobiel laboratorium om constant drempels te bepalen. De werkelijke waarde van zo'n sensor ligt in het bewaken van je glycogeenverbruik tijdens lange duurinspanningen. Door je tempo zo te sturen dat je lactaat stabiel tussen de 1 en 2 mmol/L blijft, controleer je direct of je jouw kostbare suikervoorraden niet voortijdig leegtrekt.Handige bronnen en links:Studie waarbij de bijdrage van de drie bekende prestatie-indicatoren (VO2 max, fractieVO2 max, efficiëntie) in 888 hardlopers en wielrenners gemeten is: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40279-026-02439-yInspanningsonderzoek bij toplopers in het kader van ‘Breaking 2': https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/japplphysiol.00647.2020Aflevering 93 over inspanningstesten: https://slimmer-presteren-podcast.nl/seizoen-5/93-inspanningstesten-voor-wie-is-het-nuttig-en-wanneer/Hoe te blijven verbeteren op de marathon?: https://slimmer-presteren-podcast.nl/seizoen-6/123-je-marathontijd-blijven-aanscherpen-hoe-doe-je-dat/Zuinig lopen: hoe doe je dat?:https://slimmer-presteren-podcast.nl/seizoen-6/124-schaven-aan-je-loopstijl-voor-wie-is-dat-zinvol-of-onzin/Aflevering 219 over krachttraining: https://slimmer-presteren-podcast.nl/seizoen-11/219-slimmer-presteren-met-de-juiste-krachttraining-volgens-special-guest-jeroen-rietvelt/Aflevering 139 over fietscadans en hoe deze te trainen: https://slimmer-presteren-podcast.nl/seizoen-7/139-je-trapbeweging-op-de-fiets-trainen-zit-er-dans-in-je-cadans/—-De Slimmer Presteren Podcast is een initiatief van Gerrit Heijkoop en Jurgen van Teeffelen.

¿Corres bien en asfalto pero en montaña te revienta gente que va más lenta que tú? El problema no es que seas mal corredor. Es que el trail no funciona como el asfalto. Puedes tener un motor enorme y aun así explotar en la primera hora si no sabes usarlo. Y aquí es donde la mayoría falla: entrenan para ir rápido, pero no entienden cómo funciona su propio cuerpo en montaña. La solución está en tres conceptos que lo cambian todo: ⚙️ VO2 max — el tamaño de tu motor Umbral — cuánto de ese motor puedes usar sin quemarte Economía de carrera — cuánta energía gastas para avanzar No necesitas los tres perfectos. Necesitas saber cuál es tu punto débil. Porque si metes series cuando lo que te falta es fuerza, estás entrenando lo que menos necesitas. La acción concreta: esta semana, en tu próxima subida larga, fíjate si tus pulsaciones se disparan en los primeros minutos. Si es así, tu umbral está pidiendo trabajo.

If the apocalypse happens tomorrow and Piet gets one phone call, it's going to Andy McKenzie. Ex-British military, parachute regiment veteran, rehabilitation specialist, strength coach, and one of the most quietly brilliant minds in the health and performance space.Andy joined the military at 16, passed P Company at 17 — one of the hardest physical courses in the British armed forces — and served across Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Sierra Leone and Iraq before a three-story fall fractured his neck and three parts of his spine. Instead of ending his career, that injury sent him down the path of rehabilitation, and he never looked back.In this conversation Andy and Piet cover what real coaching actually looks like — why the job of a great coach is subtraction not addition, how to train an injured athlete without treating them like they're broken, and why smashing people into exhaustion is the laziest and most counterproductive thing a coach can do. Andy shares the philosophy he built over 30 years working with special forces soldiers, professional rugby players, polar explorers, world class ultra marathon runners and everyday people who've been bounced around between doctors, physios and coaches and never got better — until they found him.They also get into fatherhood, the business of coaching, AI, community, and why the biggest predictor of longevity isn't your VO2 max — it's the quality of your relationships.This one is a masterclass.

Earlier this week James and I went to do some VO2 max testing to find out our training zones.  For years we've worked off of effort and pace metrics. Will this data be useful for us?

Most CrossFit athletes think endurance improvement comes from simply doing more cardio, more zone 2, and more hard intervals. According to Brute Endurance Coach Mark Cullen, that's exactly where many athletes go wrong.In this episode of the Brute Training Podcast, Mark joins George Rhigas to break down the endurance concepts that actually move the needle for CrossFit athletes. From Zone 2 myths and threshold training to VO2 max development and pacing strategies, this conversation is packed with practical takeaways you can apply immediately.Whether you're training for the Open, Semifinals, HYROX, a running race, or simply trying to stop fading late in workouts, this episode will help you train smarter.Let us know in the comments:What's the biggest challenge in your endurance training right now?Subscribe for more coaching insights, athlete interviews, and performance education from the Brute coaching team.

Brendan Housler and Landry Bobo break down a Ben Healy “lactate clearance” session: 3 x 10 minutes with 2 minutes at ~120% FTP followed immediately by 8 minutes at ~85–90% FTP, with 10 minutes easy between sets. They explain that the goal isn't the surge itself but the ability to settle back into strong aerobic riding while clearing and reusing lactate, mirroring real race demands like attacks, covering moves, and riding hard after climbs or corners. They discuss why many riders can hit VO2 efforts but struggle to continue at tempo afterward, and share ways to progress the workout (longer hard starts, adding surges, 40/20s into tempo, more repeats, or adjusting recovery). They suggest using this work in build phases, pre-race prep, and even year-round as lighter “touches” between harder blocks.

Message me your 'Takeaways'.If you're in your mid-30s or 40s and your fitness feels like it's slipping, this episode is for you.A strong body after 35 looks completely different to what it did in your 20s. Real life is pulling you in every direction: work, kids, mortgage, relationships. And the old approach, training hard, recovering fast, bouncing back,isn't cutting it the same way anymore.In this episode, I walk you through the 5 pillars of a strong body for men over 35, and why missing even one of them causes the whole thing to wobble. This isn't about becoming an athlete.

Speed work can be one of the biggest game-changers in ultramarathon training — but only if you know how to use it the right way.In this episode, I break down the three key types of speed work that every ultrarunner should understand: VO2 max workouts, lactate threshold workouts, and steady state workouts.You'll learn what each workout actually does, how they're different from each other, when to use them in your training, and how to structure them so you can build more fitness without blowing yourself up.I also explain why speed work matters for ultrarunners, even if most of your race is done at an easy effort, and how these workouts can help you raise your fitness ceiling, improve your ability to sustain faster paces, and become stronger and more durable on race day.In this episode, you'll learn:Why running easy all the time can eventually lead to a fitness plateauHow VO2 max work helps raise your overall fitness ceilingWhy lactate threshold workouts help you run faster for longerHow steady state workouts build aerobic strength and durabilityWhen to use each type of speed workout in your training blockExample workouts you can steal and use in your own trainingHow to safely introduce speed work without increasing injury riskWhy uphill speed work can be a cheat code for ultrarunnersSHOW LINKS:Register for our 100K or 50K race, Desert Peak Ultra, by going to ⁠⁠desertpeakultra.com⁠⁠Want to be coached by me and my team to crush your next ultramarathon in our 1:1 coaching program?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Book a free call here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with one of our coaches to see if we are a good fit!Want to work with me to crush your next ultramarathon in our group coaching program?

With greater strength, power, VO2 max entering menopause women have fewer vasomotor issues and less chance of developing dementia and heart disease. Until fitness is a vital sign, exercise may still feel optional. And… the exercise absolutely is better than nothing but if you want it to really be doing the most good, you measure if it's working. Because now more than ever, fitness is a vital sign. If this episode made you flip your workout routine — share it!

Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the growing interest in biological age versus chronological age and explains that biological aging is modifiable through consistent lifestyle choices. She outlines common measurement tools and biomarkers, including epigenetic clocks (DNA methylation), telomere length, VO2 max, inflammatory markers, grip strength, and muscle mass, noting that genetics account for only about 25–40% of biological aging variation. Key interventions include regular aerobic and resistance exercise, protein-adequate nutrition to preserve muscle and prevent sarcopenia (with whey protein and leucine-rich foods noted), improved sleep, stress management, reducing processed foods and visceral fat, and lowering chronic inflammation (CRP, IL-6). She also reviews hormetic stressors such as sauna use and mentions red/near-infrared light and sun exposure without sunglasses. Leyla shares client examples showing biological age can worsen or improve, and encourages repeat testing after lifestyle changes.

The host explains how he raised his estimated VO2 max in 2026 in his 40s, emphasizing that the biggest driver was structured hard training with progressive overload, not "hacks" like peptides, supplements, sauna, red light, or ketones. After years of mostly zone 2 cardio (under ~124 bpm) plus weekly MMA, he shifted to one zone 2 session, one Norwegian 4x4 VO2 max workout, and one MMA session weekly. He defines VO2 max and details the 4x4 protocol (4 minutes hard/3 minutes easy for 4 rounds plus brief warmup/cooldown), using a COROS heart rate monitor to track significant zone 5 time. Starting at 8.0 mph, he increased treadmill speed by 0.1 mph weekly to 9.3 mph, discussing deload weeks, fatigue limits, body weight changes, footwear, sauna frequency, and mixed views on supplements like beta-alanine, beetroot, and ketones.   Norwegian 4x4 Protocol https://www.myworkout.com/en/4x4-intervals VO2 Max / Zone 2 Cardio https://health.clevelandclinic.org/zone-2-cardio Stats Canada VO2 Max Percentile Table https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/82-003-x/2019010/article/00002/tbl/tbl02-eng.htm Oura Ring https://ouraring.com/ COROS Heart Rate Monitor https://coros.com/heart-rate-monitor Freak Athlete Nordic Hyper / Hyper Pro https://freakathlete.co/products/hyper-pro HOKA Clifton 10 https://www.hoka.com/en/ph/clifton-10-run-smooth/ Nike Zoom Fly https://www.nike.com/ph/w/nike-zoom-fly-running-shoes-37v7jz7oc5azy7ok Post-Exercise Sauna Bathing Study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16877041/ Urolithin A https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2788244 Beetroot / Dietary Nitrate https://www.ausport.gov.au/ais/nutrition/supplements/group_a/performance-supplements2/beetroot-juicenitrate Ketone-IQ https://ketone.com/ Beta-Hydroxybutyrate / BHB Ketones https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK493179/ L-Citrulline https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/ExerciseAndAthleticPerformance-HealthProfessional/ Creatine https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/ExerciseAndAthleticPerformance-HealthProfessional/ Beta-Alanine https://examine.com/supplements/beta-alanine/ MOTS-c https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9905433/ Cardarine / GW501516 https://www.wada-ama.org/en/news/wada-issues-alert-gw501516 Brady Holmer https://www.bradyholmer.com/ Hart2Heart Episode with Brady Holmer https://open.spotify.com/episode/0DxQVb0Mkah57ZgHbWmWUy   Show Notes 00:00 Welcome to the Hart2Heart Podcast 00:33 VO2 Max Story Setup 01:27 Baseline Training Split 02:58 What VO2 Max Means 05:10 Why Add Structure 06:01 Norwegian 4x4 Explained 06:49 Starting Speeds Recovery 08:07 Zone 5 Targets 10:55 Tracking Heart Rate 12:23 Estimating VO2 Max 14:37 Zone 2 And MMA Role 17:20 Bodyweight And Running 19:46 Shoes Sauna Supplements 24:44 Progressive Overload Plan 29:34 Deloads Plateaus Mindset 31:29 Final Takeaways Encouragement   The Hart2Heart podcast is hosted by family physician Dr. Michael Hart, who is dedicated to cutting through the noise and uncovering the most effective strategies for optimizing health, longevity, and peak performance.

What if the key to being capable at 75 isn't training harder — it's training more completely?In this episode, we introduce the Heavy, Fast, Far, and Free framework: a simple weekly approach to strength, power, endurance, and mobility that keeps every fitness bucket full.You'll learn why power declines 10x faster than strength (and why that matters for staying formidable at any age), why VO2 max has a 400% greater impact on all-cause mortality than smoking does, and what the minimum effective dose looks like for each pillar.If you want to be able to say yes to everything — forever — this episode shows you exactly how to train for it.

What if the scale has been measuring the wrong kind of progress all along? I know what it feels like to be told your body should be smaller, but I also know the power that comes from choosing strong instead. In this keynote, I'm sharing why muscle changes everything, from metabolism and insulin sensitivity to bone health, brain health, and longevity. My goal is to help you stop chasing the scale and start building the body, strength, and resilience you need to age powerfully. What you'll learn: (01:19) JJ's early experience with dieting shaped her muscle-first approach to health. (04:06) Focusing only on weight loss can damage metabolism and lead to long-term frustration. (06:59) Muscle, strength, power, grip strength, gait speed, and VO2 max matter for longevity. (09:06) Muscle acts like “metabolic Spanx” by supporting metabolism, blood sugar, and whole-body messaging. (11:14) What measurements can help you track body composition beyond the scale. (17:25) Tracking food and prioritizing protein first can change cravings, satiety, and muscle-building potential. (25:20) Plants, fiber, hydration, and avoiding ultra-processed foods support better body recomposition. (29:25) Daily movement, resistance training, sleep, sauna, red light, and recovery all matter for aging powerfully. Love the podcast? Here's what to do: Subscribe to the podcast. Leave a review.

Episode 3 of the series is live.We're talking about emotional load. The real, practical reason why high performers plateau, burn out, or can't understand why their training isn't landing the way it should.The truth is your body doesn't separate emotional stress from physical stress. When life is heavy, relationship strain, work pressure, family chaos, your stress capacity is already maxed out before you even lace up your shoes.Training through it doesn't make you tougher. It makes you slower to recover, harder to be around, and less effective in every other area of life too.Three things that actually help:Set real boundaries in the areas causing the most stressFind someone you can talk to freelyGet curious about the source, not just the symptomsThis is where real performance lives. Not in your VO2 max.

In this episode, Doug Larson, Dr. Mike Lane, and Coach Travis Mash break down athlete monitoring, readiness testing, and how coaches can use simple data to make better training decisions. Travis explains how his master's thesis used daily depth jumps, subjective questionnaires, and warm-up performance to track fatigue and readiness in weightlifters. The big lesson: testing only works when you minimize variables, collect enough data to understand normal fluctuations, and know the athlete behind the numbers. The team discusses why reactive strength index, vertical jumps, drop jumps, and counter movement jumps can reveal useful trends in central nervous system readiness, but only when paired with honest communication and smart coaching judgment. The conversation expands into how to adjust training when performance drops, why a 10% decrease may mean it is time to send an athlete home, and why volume is often the first lever to pull before reducing intensity. They also explore broader performance monitoring for everyday athletes, including deadlift strength, pull-ups, mile or mile-and-a-half run times, mobility screens, DEXA scans, VO2 max testing, bloodwork, blood pressure, wearables, and input tracking. Whether you are a coach, lifter, athlete, or performance-minded adult trying to stay strong and healthy over decades, this episode gives you a practical framework for measuring what matters, spotting problems early, and using data to guide better decisions without losing the human side of coaching.

In this episode of the Pain and Performance Podcast, Dr. Derrick Hines breaks down why VO2 max may be one of the most important predictors of long-term health, resilience, and longevity.He explains what VO2 max actually measures, why it matters far beyond athletics, and how improving your body's ability to use oxygen impacts energy, inflammation, cardiovascular health, and overall performance.Dr. Hines also walks through practical VO2 max training methods including the popular Norwegian 4x4 protocol and short high-intensity intervals designed to improve endurance, resilience, and long-term health.In This Episode-- What VO2 max is and why it matters-- The connection between oxygen use and longevity-- Why VO2 max is linked to overall health and resilience-- How the Norwegian 4x4 protocol works-- Simple ways to improve VO2 max safely and effectivelyInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/derrickbhines/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/@DrDerrick

Most people think becoming a parent means putting your health on the back burner. We think that's backwards. When you've got kids watching you, your habits stop being “personal” and start becoming the culture of your home. We talk candidly about the early parenting grind, why you need some grace, and why you still need a plan to keep moving even when your energy is gone and your schedule is wrecked.Then we go straight at the biggest modern time leak: screen time. If you “don't have time” to train, we challenge you to look at your phone's screen time breakdown and do the math. We share practical, realistic tactics to cut doom scrolling without pretending you can live like a monk, including app blockers, physical friction tools, and simple household rules that make it easier to be present with your kids. We also get into training during pregnancy and why context matters: your base fitness, smart scaling, and safe movement beat fear and outdated opinions.From there, we unpack why people fall off once they hit a goal or miss it. Unrealistic timelines, shallow motivation, and identity-based goals can all wreck consistency. Our answer is a foundation-first approach built around healthspan, metabolic health, strength training, and VO2 max, with performance goals as short, motivating seasons. If you want better confidence and discipline, build capability you can't buy, inherit, or fake.If this hit a nerve, share it with a parent who needs it, subscribe for more, and leave a review.

8 minutes of full-gas work. 14% VO2 max gain. But only if you do them right on the CoachCat training app. Your first 7 days FREE: https://fascatcoaching.com/app Dr. Izumi Tabata's 1996 study proved that 20-second efforts at supramaximal intensity produce more anaerobic capacity AND VO2 max gains than traditional steady-state training, and in a fraction of the time. In this training tip, Coach Frank Overton breaks down the exact workout 20+ years of FasCat athletes have used to win races: 3 sets of 8 × 20 seconds at 170% of FTP, with 10 seconds rest and 10 minutes between sets. There's a RIGHT way to do Tabatas and a WRONG way that wastes the workout. This video covers both, with the pacing strategy, terrain selection, ERG-mode trap, and mental tips you need to actually finish all 24 reps and get the adaptation Dr. Tabata's research promised.

Muscle scientist Dr Brad Schoenfeld on how to stay strong after 60.Dr Brad Schoenfeld is a professor of exercise science at Lehman College, New York, and one of the world's most cited researchers on muscle hypertrophy. In this interview we cover the practical science of building and maintaining muscle as you age with a focus on what actually matters for healthspan and independence.We discuss how much training older adults really need, why power matters more than strength for fall prevention, and how to think about loads and reps after 60. Brad also explains why protein requirements increase with age, what the leucine threshold is and why it matters, and gives his frank assessment of the supplement landscape including the one he thinks has genuine evidence behind it.We also touch on VO2 max, balance, flexibility and the role of consistency. A practical, evidence-based conversation for anyone serious about staying strong and independent as they age.

At some point, the body sends you the invoice. In this episode of the Mere Mortals Podcast, I sit down with Chris Ryan, former Division 1 runner, fitness coach, Men's Fitness cover model, former Mirror coach and founder of Chris Ryan Fitness, to talk about what it actually takes to stay strong, durable and fit as you get older. The core lesson: fitness is not just about effort. It is about intelligent effort, repeated long enough to become identity.

In this episode the guys break down 5 weird but proven ways to quickly trigger muscle growth — one set to failure, blood flow occlusion training, the all-day workout method, doubling your protein intake, and post-workout sauna. They also get into a 1967 Senate committee that predicted we'd only work 22 hours a week by 1985 (and how wrong they were), the birth control predictions that went completely the other way, why alcohol consumption is dropping (hint: it's not because people are healthier), and a Harvard multivitamin study showing two years of use made people five months younger at the molecular level. Then they answer questions submitted through Instagram — covering weekly vs. daily step goals, how often you should expect to progress in training, preventing stretch marks during weight loss, and the best high protein high calorie snacks.

Je me suis rendue au Mans pour rencontrer Willy Mangin, entraîneur sportif et diététicien. Ayant moi-même été sportive de niveau national en judo et en roller acrobatique dans mes jeunes années, et tentant désormais de me maintenir en forme de manière plus qu'amatrice, j'avais beaucoup de questions à lui poser.Est-ce que les arts martiaux c'est du pipeau irlandais à la sauce orientale ? Sont-ils vraiment utiles pour se défendre en cas d'agression ? Peut-on pratiquer sérieusement le tai-chi sans croire au ch'i ?Michael Phelps a-t-il gagné les 200 m papillon aux Jeux olympiques de Rio grâce à l'application de ventouses sur son dos ? Novak Djokovic a-t-il raison de croire aux énergies ? Pourquoi Zinedine Zidane met-il toujours sa chaussette gauche en premier ? Je voulais aussi savoir : comment faire pour améliorer la performance ? Les compléments alimentaires (créatine, protéine, magnésium ou oméga-3) sont-ils utiles ? Peut-on être végétarien et sportif accompli ? Avoir des courbatures est-il un passage obligé ?Être accroché à ses statistiques de VO2 max est-il utile, ou même souhaitable ?Et puis : quels sont les bénéfices réels de la pratique sportive et quand peut-elle devenir néfaste ? Quels sont les secrets d'une bonne préparation mentale ? Comment enrayer les discriminations dans les milieux sportifs ? Quelle est la différence entre un bon entraîneur et un mauvais entraîneur ?Bref, j'ai occupé le terrain, et comme Willy Mangin est bavard, très bavard, on a papoté et bu du thé dans son salon pendant une journée entière.

If you're over 50 and still doing cardio to stay healthy, you're wasting your time and may actually be making things worse. This episode breaks down the exact movements, supplements, and anti-aging strategies that build real strength, protect your bones, and extend your longevity without spending hours in the gym. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Will Harlow, a master's-level physiotherapist and founder of HT Physio, whose YouTube channel has amassed over 1.5 million subscribers by teaching people over 50 how to stay mobile, active, and independent without painkillers or surgery. Will graduated with a first-class degree from Brunel University, trained in both the NHS and professional sport, and has spent his career proving that what most doctors call "just aging" is actually optional. Together, Dave and Will dismantle the myths keeping older adults weak, injured, and overtrained. They get into why resistance training beats cardio for human performance and metabolism at every age, how anabolic resistance changes your protein needs after 50, which three compound movements deliver the biggest functional gains, and why your grip strength may be the most underrated biomarker you're ignoring. Dave also shares how he used biohacking, targeted supplements, and functional medicine principles to grow bones so dense his surgeon couldn't cut through them. They also dig into vestibular training, hydration, magnesium, Vitamin DAKE, and how tools like AI are now helping people identify movement problems before they become joint replacements. This is essential listening for anyone serious about longevity, anti-aging, biohacking, sleep optimization, supplements, smarter not harder training, human performance, and building a body that performs decades past its expiration date. You'll Learn: Why chronic cardio decreases bone density and muscle mass in people over 50 The 3-2-1 resistance training method that delivers 80% of results in 40 minutes a week How anabolic resistance changes protein requirements as you age and what to do about it The three compound movements every person over 50 should master first Why grip strength predicts overall health and how to train it How vestibular disorders silently destroy balance and confidence, and how to reverse them The supplement stack (Vitamin DAKE, magnesium glycinate, digestive enzymes) that supports bone, muscle, and metabolism Why 7,000 steps beats 10,000, and where that number actually came from How Dave used biohacking and functional medicine to grow bones that broke a surgeon's saw Why AI tools can now spot gait problems that lead to hip replacements years later Thank you to our sponsors! - Active Skin Repair | Get 25% off your order until May 21, after that, it drops back to 20%, visit ActiveSkinRepair.com and use code DAVE.

Running economy is one of the most misunderstood concepts in endurance training — and one of the most trainable. In this episode, Zoë Rom and TJ David break down what running economy actually is, why it matters more than VO2 max for marathoners and ultra runners, and the specific levers you can pull to get more output for the same input. Using the analogy of miles per gallon, they explain how two runners with identical VO2 max can run race times that differ by 20+ minutes — and what's going on under the hood to explain the gap.The conversation covers the seven physiological factors that determine economy, from tendon stiffness and motor unit recruitment to substrate utilization and thermoregulation. Then they dig into the five interventions that actually move the needle: strength training, plyometrics, strides, hills, and consistent aerobic volume over time. Finally, they bust four of the most persistent running form myths — that you need to run 180 steps per minute, that mid-foot striking is automatically better, that super shoes are cheating, and that form drills will fix your mechanics.If you're an intermediate runner who feels like you've plateaued despite logging the miles, this is the episode that explains what's missing. Plus a coach spotlight intro with Microcosm's Zachary Russell.

What if the real driver of aging isn't your mitochondria or your telomeres but the tiny capillaries you never think about? Double board-certified emergency and internal medicine physician Kenneth Ro returns to the show to make a compelling case that microvascular decline is the overlooked upstream force behind nearly every disease of aging. In this episode, based on his KevinMD article "How the microvasculature drives the human aging process," he explains why your body shuts down capillaries you stop using through a process called capillary rarefaction, and how that quietly starves tissues of oxygen long before symptoms appear. You will hear how microvascular disease connects diabetic complications, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, and even sepsis under one unifying framework. He also shares why exercise works at a level deeper than most clinicians discuss, what GLP-1 agonists may be doing to your pericytes, and why VO2 max and heart rate variability are your best windows into microvascular health. This episode will change how you think about what it truly means to age well. Tune into our episode "2026 Cholesterol Guidelines: LDL goals, lipoprotein(a), and coronary calcium scoring," brought to you by Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation. For the first time in eight years, LDL cholesterol goals have changed, and preventive cardiologist Seth Baum says the new guidelines are a long-overdue course correction. He breaks down the new LDL targets for your highest-risk patients, why the LDL hypothesis should be retired in favor of the LDL fact, why lipoprotein(a) screening finally belongs in every patient's workup, what a coronary calcium score over 300 really means for how aggressively you treat, and how to talk to statin-skeptical patients without losing their trust.

Women's health has been one of medicine's most overlooked frontiers — and the data gap is decades deep. In this episode, Eric Malzone sits down with Anaelle Oiknine, clinical development lead at Ultrahuman, to unpack why the majority of drugs, exercise prescriptions, and health metrics have historically been built around male physiology — and what that's cost women. From the thalidomide tragedy of the 1950s to the ongoing research mismatch around endometriosis, Anaelle breaks down the systemic failures that left half the population underserved, and why the tide is finally turning. She shares what continuous wearable data is revealing about the female body that annual OB-GYN visits never could — including how Ultrahuman's cycle and ovulation tracking has flagged PCOS and endometriosis before a physician's diagnosis. If you're a fitness professional, wellness practitioner, or just someone who wants to understand why cycle-based training is the next major evolution in personalized health, this conversation is where you start. Key Takeaways:

What if your genes are not your destiny, but a set of clues your body has been giving you all along? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with Dr. Florence Comite, endocrinologist, clinician scientist, longevity expert, and author of Invincible: Defy Your Genetic Destiny to Live Better, Longer, to explore how biomarkers, genetics, hormones, sleep, metabolism, and family history shape the way we age.In this episode, Dr. Comite explains why longevity is not just about biohacking, supplements, peptides, or the latest wellness trend. Instead, she shares why true healthspan begins with understanding your own body, your own patterns, and your own family story. She explains how changes in blood sugar, fasting insulin, free testosterone, cholesterol risk ratio, sleep quality, muscle, and metabolism can reveal early signs of disease risk long before symptoms fully appear.Dr. Taz and Dr. Comite discuss why “normal” lab ranges are not always the same as optimal health, why some people begin showing signs of metabolic disease decades earlier than expected, and how family history can act as a powerful roadmap for prevention. They also explore how genetics, lifestyle, hormones, wearables, continuous glucose monitoring, sleep, movement, protein, and personalized medicine may help people change the trajectory of their future health.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:

The “Perfect Body” Isn't What Instagram Sold You What does the “perfect body” actually look like?In Part 2 of Coach Alex's conversation on The Samir Show, the discussion moves beyond six-packs, big biceps, and Instagram fitness into something much more useful: building a body that can serve the mission.Coach Alex explains why excessive muscle can become a liability for operators, why the best body is not necessarily the one that attracts attention, and why true fitness is about capability, endurance, resilience, and recovery.This conversation also goes deep into metabolic health, protein intake, fatigue, sleep, dad bod, belly fat, cardiovascular fitness, diabetes risk, and why so many people feel exhausted in their 30s and 40s.The big idea: your body is not just about appearance. It is an asset. It carries your mind, your mission, your work, your family, and your calling.In this episode, Coach Alex and Samir discuss:Why the “perfect agent body” does not look like an Instagram fitness modelWhy endurance and cognitive integrity matter for real-world performanceHow your body and brain are deeply integratedWhy constant fatigue may be connected to poor metabolic healthThe role of protein in muscle, energy, aging, and blood sugar regulationWhy muscle loss accelerates with age — and how weight training helps slow it downHow sleep timing, deep sleep, naps, and circadian rhythm affect energyWhy belly fat is often connected to stress, poor fitness, and energy imbalanceThe difference between fasting, time-restricted eating, and ketosisWhy cardio is not mainly about burning caloriesHow walking, weight training, and sleep can help prevent diabetes and heart diseaseIf you are tired of treating your body like a vanity project — or ignoring it altogether — this episode will help you think differently.Your body is not an idol to worship.It is not a problem to ignore.It is a stewardship.Get the Faithful Fitness 40-Day Devotional here:FaithfulFitnessDevo.comAnd check out more conversations from The Samir Show.00:00 The perfect agent body01:36 Why the CIA body would not look like Instagram fitness02:21 Hypertrophy is only one fitness adaptation03:48 The capable body: strong, fast, endurable, and mission-ready05:09 Training bodies for the job, not choosing bodies for the job06:54 Treating the body like a national security asset07:32 Why poor health affects national security08:43 Endurance and cognitive integrity09:35 Energy, fatigue, and burnout10:08 Mitochondrial dysfunction and fat-burning capacity12:01 Carbs as short-term fuel, fats as long-term fuel13:56 Why protein matters15:13 How much protein the average person may need16:20 Why minimum protein recommendations may not be optimal18:14 Plant proteins, supplements, and vegetarian considerations19:39 Why muscle mass declines with age21:09 Weight training and preserving muscle tissue22:02 Why you may wake up more tired than when you went to bed23:11 Deep sleep, sleep inertia, and inconsistent rest25:43 Why naps help some people and ruin sleep for others27:28 Busy tired vs. metabolic or hormonal problems28:41 Why medication without lifestyle change misses the root30:34 Protein, prediabetes, and blood sugar regulation32:23 Protein intake and body composition33:41 Dad bod, belly fat, and fatherhood37:05 Hormonal changes after having a baby38:42 Keto, fasting, cardio, and stubborn belly fat39:29 Fasting vs. time-restricted eating40:34 Ketosis does not always mean body-fat loss41:50 Why cardio is not mainly for burning calories42:44 Nutrient density vs. energy density45:12 Running outside vs. treadmill48:19 Early warning signs for diabetes and metabolic disease49:00 VO2 and cardiovascular fitness as missed warning signs53:06 Basic tests for diabetes and heart disease risk55:20 Why food journaling is the first intelligence report59:35 Lifestyle changes with the biggest payoff01:00:10 Start small: 15 minutes a day01:01:46 Walking, adaptation, and energy01:02:40 Sleep, stress, and disease risk01:04:30 Creatine, sleep deprivation, and recovery support If this conversation challenged the way you think about your body, start with the Faithful Fitness 40-Day Devotional.It was written to help Christians stop treating the body as either an idol to worship or a problem to ignore — and begin seeing it as a gift to steward under Christ.Get Faithful Fitness here:FaithfulFitnessDevo.comThis conversation originally took place on The Samir Show.Check out Samir's work and follow his show for more thoughtful conversations on health, mindset, and human performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lST4zzD4Hcs&t=387sBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faithful-fitness-with-coach-alex-vanhouten--5150768/support.

Urolithin A (MitoPure)--Mitophagy, Muscle Recovery, Immunity, and Skin Health: Dr. Brad Currier, clinical trial manager at Timeline, a Swiss biotech company, details urolithin A (MitoPure), a postbiotic derived from pomegranate precursors that most people cannot produce due to microbiome differences. Currier explains MitoPure's mechanism—stimulating mitophagy to recycle dysfunctional mitochondria—and reviews evidence from multiple clinical trials. He reveals a Sports Medicine study in elite male distance runners showing reduced creatine kinase and lower perceived exertion, suggesting improved recovery, plus trials in middle-aged and older adults showing improvements in strength, six-minute walk test, and VO2 max at 500 mg–1 g doses. They also cover a Nature Aging immune study reporting rejuvenation of stem-like CD8 T cells with improved mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation, ongoing research directions, supplement quality/testing for athletes, and topical urolithin A skincare trials and partnerships, including L'Oréal Lancôme.

Your cells are starving for oxygen, and it's silently driving inflammation, fatigue, brain fog, and accelerated aging. This episode reveals how pairing Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) and red light therapy supercharges your mitochondria, reverses pseudo-hypoxia, and unlocks a level of human performance most people never experience. -Save up to $500 (through 5/17) at One Thousand Roads: https://www.onethousandroads.com/Dave -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Brad Pitzele, founder of One Thousand Roads and one of the most credible voices in oxygen therapy and red light therapy. Brad didn't come to this work through a lab. He came to it through desperation. After battling autoimmune arthritis, melanoma, and Lyme disease, he rebuilt his health from the ground up starting in 2016 by targeting mitochondrial function when he could barely walk. Eighteen months later, he founded One Thousand Roads to bring these tools to everyone still searching for a way out. Together, Dave and Brad break down the unified theory behind oxygen therapy and red light therapy, two of the most powerful and underrated tools in biohacking. They go deep on pseudo-hypoxia, the condition where your blood oxygen looks fine but your tissues are starving, and explain why this hidden dysfunction sits at the root of chronic fatigue, inflammaging, fibromyalgia, long COVID, and poor sleep optimization. They also cover the endothelium, nitric oxide, arterial stiffness, pulse wave velocity, and why your morning biology might be the most honest readout of your metabolic health. This is essential listening for anyone serious about longevity, anti-aging, brain optimization, functional medicine, mitochondria, metabolism, and smarter not harder approaches to human performance. You'll Learn: What EWOT is and why elite athletes and biohackers use it to flood tissues with oxygen in 15 minutes How pseudo-hypoxia silently blocks energy production and drives chronic illness Why stacking red light therapy immediately after EWOT multiplies results for both How mitochondrial dysfunction connects to endothelial aging, microcirculation failure, and systemic inflammation The role of nitric oxide in arterial flexibility, vasodilation, and real anti-aging markers like pulse wave velocity Why your lungs are your biggest detox organ and how oxygen therapy supports that process How ketosis, fasting, and cellular energy interact with EWOT and red light for maximum benefit What LED lighting is doing to your mitochondria every single day and how to fix it How to build an affordable at-home EWOT setup for around $2,500 Thank you to our sponsors! - Danger Coffee | Grab yours at DangerCoffee.comand use code DAVEPOD at checkout for 15% off. - ENERGYbits | If you want a simpler, smarter way to support your body… this is it.
