OVERVIEWPower, heart rate, or RPE (rate of perceived exertion or how you feel)? Which data point is best for gauging intensity during training or a race, and which is best for monitoring training progress? Coach Adam Pulford tackles these frequently asked questions in Episode 249 of "The Time-Crunched Cyclist Podcast". Although ALL THREE metrics have their place, Coach Adam reveals the hierarchy for what matters most and what metrics are used for context.

Happy Friday, Everyone, and welcome back to another Weekly Update where I'm hopefully keeping you ten steps ahead and helping you make sense of it all. This week's update hits hard, covering everything from misleading remote work headlines to the uncomfortable reality of deepfake grief, the quiet rollout of AI-generated video realism, and what some are calling the ticking time bomb of digital security: quantum computing.Buckle up. This one's dense but worth it.⸻Remote Work Crisis? The Headlines Are WrongGallup's latest State of the Global Workplace report sparked a firestorm, claiming remote work is killing human flourishing. However, as always, the truth is far more complex. I break down the real story in the data, including why remote workers are actually more engaged, how lack of boundaries is the true enemy, and why “flexibility” isn't just a perk… it's a lifeline. If your organization is still stuck in the binary of office vs. remote, this is a wake-up call because the house is on fire.⸻AI Resurrects the Dead: Is That Love… or Exploitation?Two recent stories show just how far we've come in a very short period of time. And, tragically how little we've wrestled with what it actually means. One family used AI to create a video message from their murdered son to be played in court. Another licensed the voice of a deceased sports commentator to bring him back for broadcasts. It's easy to say “what's the harm?” But what does it really mean since the dead can't say no?⸻Deepfake Video Just Got Easier Than EverGoogle semi-quietly rolled out Veo V2. If you weren't aware, its a powerful new AI video model that can generate photorealistic 8-second clips from a simple text prompt. It's legitimately impressive. It's fast. And, it's available to the masses. I explore the incredible potential and the very real danger, especially in a world already drowning in misinformation. If you thought fake news was bad, wait until it moves.⸻Quantum Apocalypse: Hype or Real Threat?I'll admit that it sounds like a sci-fi headline, but the situation and implications are real. It's not a matter of if quantum computing hits; it's a matter of when. And when it hits escape velocity, everything we know about encryption, privacy, and digital security gets obliterated. I unpack what this “Q-Day” scenario actually means, why it's not fear-mongering to pay attention, and how to think clearly without falling into panic.⸻If this episode got you thinking, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Drop a comment, share it with someone who needs to hear it, and don't forget to subscribe so you never miss an update.—Show Notes:In this Weekly Update, host Christopher Lind provides a comprehensive update on the intersection of business, technology, and human experience. He begins by discussing a Gallup report on worker wellness, highlighting the complex impacts of remote work on employee engagement and overall life satisfaction. Christopher examines the advancements of Google Gemini, specifically focusing on VO2's text-to-video capabilities and its potential implications. He also discusses ethical considerations surrounding AI used to resurrect the dead in court cases and media. The episode concludes with a discussion on the potential risks of a 'quantum apocalypse,' urging listeners to stay informed but not overly anxious about these emerging technologies.00:00 – Introduction01:31 – Gallup Report, Remote Work & Human Thriving16:14 – AI-Generated Videos & Google's Veo V226:33 – AI-Resurrected Grief & Digital Consent41:31 – Quantum Apocalypse & the Myth of Safety53:50 – Final Thoughts and Reflection#RemoteWork #AIethics #Deepfakes #QuantumComputing #FutureOfWork
If you improve your cardio fitness, will you also perform better in the gym and recover faster between sets? That's a common hypothesis in the gym world. If proven true, it would be another good reason for adding more cardio training into your routine, since better recovery should mean bigger strength gains in the long run (pun intended). That's the topic today, and we have a new study that examined the relationship between oxygen uptake (VO2 max) and recovery between sets, within-set fatigue, and whether men and women recover at different rates. *** Do you like what you hear so far?

But, if you're like many runners I know, pre-run coffee often leaves you with jitters or stomach issues. That's why I was so excited when I found Nandaka by Pique—the ultimate coffee alternative designed to power your runs, your training, and your recovery. So, what makes Nandaka different? Most so-called “coffee alternatives” don't actually provide functional energy. But Nandaka is built for endurance Unlike coffee, which spikes your energy and leaves you crashing mid-run, Nandaka fuels you with steady, sustained endurance—no spikes, no crashes, just clean energy that lasts. Nandaka provides its caffeine from fermented probiotic teas, which provide a slow-release caffeine that prevents jitters and gives you sustained release for those long runs workouts. It also contains cordyceps mushrooms, which help boost VO2 max, delivering more oxygen to your muscles for better endurance Plus, the probiotic teas mean no digestive distress like you often get with coffee. If you're tired of running on fumes—or worse, running on coffee crashes—it's time to make the switch. Right now, Pique is offering 20% off for life AND a free Starter Kit with your first purchase.

Dr Glenn McConell chats with legendary Australian former marathon world record holder and lifelong exerciser Derek Clayton and the three top researchers who have tested him over 50 years. Derek, who is now 82 years old, broke the marathon world record in 1967 running 2:09:36 when the previous record was 2:12:11(!). Then in 1969 he ran 2:08:33 a world record which wasn't broken until 1981. He then continued to train at a high level, especially cycling. He was VO2 max tested in 1969 by Professor David Costill, 1991 by Professor Costill, Professor Mark Hargreaves and myself then in 2022 by sports cardiologist Dr Andre La Gerche and Prof Hargreaves.

Are your mitochondria aging faster than you are? In this episode, Dr. Mark Tarnopolsky breaks down the central role of mitochondria in aging, longevity, and overall metabolic health. Learn how mitochondrial dysfunction drives age-related decline, including neurodegenerative diseases, and what you can do about it. From the paradox of oxidative stress to the risks of overusing antioxidants, this conversation unpacks what actually supports mitochondrial health—including a clinical “mitochondrial cocktail” targeting multiple aging pathways. Dr. Tarnopolsky also explains how exercise, nutrition, VO2 max, and exokines impact your healthspan, plus why most therapeutics miss the mark.

In 2016 the American Heart Association called for Cardiorespiratory Fitness (CRF), generally measured using VO2max, to be included as a vital sign. They said:“The underlying premise of this statement is that the addition of CRF for risk classification presents health professionals with unique opportunities to improve patient management and to encourage lifestyle-based strategies designed to reduce cardiovascular risk.”In this episode we discuss the arguments made and evidence cited in that statement, as well the update published in 2024.If you're the type to want follow up citations/further readings, here are a few that we found interesting (but you can find many more cited in the two statements linked above):People over 60 can still improve their VO2 by just as much as young people, relative to their baseline.Here's where you'll find the normative values from the Fitness Registry and the Importance of Exercise National Database (FRIEND) that we discussed.And before you ask, we also briefly address the classic "strength vs cardio" debate. Here are some studies we used to support it:Association of Resistance Exercise with Cardiovascular Disease Morbidity and Mortality (yes, we understand that CVD is probably not the right place to look for strength training benefits)Optimum dosing of resistance training for health and longevity
There's a powerful truth about running that rarely gets discussed: getting older doesn't mean getting slower – it means leveling up differently. As our bodies change, we unlock new capabilities that can make running even more rewarding in our 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond.Coach Christine, your "fairy run mother," breaks down exactly what changes with age (like that 1% VO2 max decline annually after 30) and what actually improves (hello, mental grit and endurance capacity!). She presents ten game-changing practices for older runners, from prioritizing strength training to hydrating smarter as our thirst response dulls. For female athletes navigating perimenopause and menopause, she offers specific strategies to work with hormonal fluctuations rather than fighting against them.The episode features Dennise, a remarkable two-time cancer survivor returning to the Chicago Marathon twenty years after her first attempt. Her goal? Completing all six World Marathon Majors – a challenge she embraced after beating cancer twice. "Why can't I have the six stars?" she asks, perfectly capturing the "why not" attitude that makes running in our later years so powerful. Dennise shares how her 83-year-old father still runs daily and how he inspired her journey, and she shares her creative fundraising effort of making marathon-themed gnomes for charity. Get yours here!Whether you're already in your "wisdom runner" years or approaching them, this episode reframes aging as an opportunity rather than an obstacle. As Coach Christine reminds us, "You're not slowing down, you're evolving," and extraordinary has no expiration date. Ready to discover running's secret power that only comes with age? Your next breakthrough awaits.Have questions or want to chat?

This week's show brought to you by: MAS Iron Outside of training deficiencies, low iron is one of the most common reasons for poor results during workouts and races. Recent research indicates that almost 56% of male runners and 86% of female runners suffer from an iron deficiency that severely hampers performance. The problem with eating iron-rich foods or supplementing with traditional iron supplements is that iron is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb and utilize. In fact, only about 25% of dietary iron found in animal sources is absorbed while 17% or less of the iron from plant sources is absorbed. But MAS Iron has found a way to combat these absorption issues to ensure you can get the iron you need for health and performance. By combining the most efficiently absorbed form of elemental iron with clinically proven ingredients to aid in absorption, MAS Iron performs like no other iron product on the market. In fact, clinical research has shown the combination of ingredients in MAS Iron can quadruple absorption and increase bioavailability by 30%, all while reducing GI issues by 50%. Check out the research and the results for yourself at masedge.com/iron. Runnersconnect fans will automatically save 20% on any purchase. Pique We've done quite a few podcast episodes on the performance benefits of caffeine. But, if you're like many runners I know, pre-run coffee often leaves you with jitters or stomach issues. That's why I was so excited when I found Nandaka by Pique—the ultimate coffee alternative designed to power your runs, your training, and your recovery. So, what makes Nandaka different? Most so-called “coffee alternatives” don't actually provide functional energy. But Nandaka is built for endurance Unlike coffee, which spikes your energy and leaves you crashing mid-run, Nandaka fuels you with steady, sustained endurance—no spikes, no crashes, just clean energy that lasts. Nandaka provides its caffeine from fermented probiotic teas, which provide a slow-release caffeine that prevents jitters and gives you sustained release for those long runs workouts. It also contains cordyceps mushrooms, which help boost VO2 max, delivering more oxygen to your muscles for better endurance Plus, the probiotic teas mean no digestive distress like you often get with coffee. If you're tired of running on fumes—or worse, running on coffee crashes—it's time to make the switch. Right now, Pique is offering 20% off for life AND a free Starter Kit with your first purchase. Go to Piquelife.com/run and start running on real energy today. Your legs, your lungs, and your PRs will thank you
We put sensors in all the right places before this HOT episode! The main discussion was on the emerging science of heat training, centered around a 2025 study that showed 3 x weekly sessions could sustain hematological adaptations from an altitude camp. Heat training is no longer just about being ready for hot weather. It's about helping our blood be full of oxygen, powering performance in all conditions. We try to take a "no secrets" approach to bring you onto the front lines of The Heat Revolution.And this one was full of amazing topics! Other topics: Megan's review of a harness that helps with running form, David's review of the Core 2 heat sensor, heat training guidelines that the sensor illuminated, a follow-up on mitochondria protein, protein needs for different workouts, protein powders we like, heat suit training and what it tells us about physiology, whether it's beneficial to know VO2 max numbers, what hardship teaches us, how we try to hold onto those lessons, the best distance to race in a partner v. partner showdown, bathroom breaks in races, and lots more!Thank you so much for being here!

In this episode, the hosts delve into various aspects of cycling, discussing the significance of bike components, particularly hubs and tires, and how they impact performance. They also explore the cultural aspects of cycling, including a humorous take on beer and its role in cycling events. The conversation shifts to Tucson, highlighting its appeal as a cycling destination, before critiquing a new Ridley drop bar mountain bike, emphasizing the need for better design and components. Takeaways Scott had a strong start but faced challenges during the race. Travel issues can significantly impact an athlete's performance. Injuries often overshadow other aspects of an athlete's life. The hosts share a light-hearted banter about cycling and personal lives. Scott's experience highlights the unpredictability of racing conditions. The conversation reveals the emotional toll of competitive cycling. Viewership of cycling events varies greatly between disciplines. The hosts express their differing levels of enthusiasm for bike racing. Scott's personal life is intertwined with his cycling career. The discussion reflects on the popularity of cycling events and their accessibility. GCN's Perry Roubaix highlights show significant viewer engagement. Race highlights are crucial for audience understanding of events. Formula One's excitement is often overshadowed by its complexity. MotoGP offers a more dynamic racing experience than Formula One. Motocross can be chaotic and hard to follow live. E3 race highlights provide insights into upcoming classics. Pogacar's participation in Roubaix is a significant development. Tire choices can greatly affect performance in races like Roubaix. Riders often have to balance tire width for cobbles and pavement. The anticipation of racing on cobbles adds to the excitement. Mental health is an important topic that can be unpacked in conversations. Cycling predictions often lead to friendly debates among enthusiasts. Naming trends can reflect personal stories and cultural influences. Adoption allows for name changes, but it's a sensitive topic. Experiences with natural disasters can bring communities together. April Fool's Day can lead to playful banter among friends. Casual conversations can reveal deeper insights about life and relationships. Personal anecdotes can make discussions more relatable and engaging. The importance of trust in one's work is highlighted in humorous exchanges. Celebrating birthdays can lead to unexpected connections and shared experiences. Choosing the right cycling shoes is crucial for performance. Laces can be a disadvantage during races due to loosening. Gravel-specific shoes are often seen as a marketing gimmick. Cyclocross shoes are designed for running and cycling. Personal comfort varies greatly among different shoe brands. Finding the right fit is a challenge in the cycling shoe market. Insoles can help alleviate hotspots in shoes. Many cyclists stick to familiar brands and models. Testing shoes before buying is a significant gap in the market. Innovative designs can enhance comfort and performance in cycling shoes. Mavix is still a company, despite rumors of its closure. Lace shoes are preferred for aerodynamics, but have disadvantages. Velcro shoes are underrated for their speed and convenience. Oral hygiene is crucial for cyclists who consume sugar during rides. Cyclists should separate sugar intake on and off the bike for better health. Post-race recovery drinks like Fanta may taste better but aren't the best choice. Hydration practices in the sauna can impact performance and recovery. Maximizing heat acclimation may not be worth the risk of dehydration. Tires are the most critical component for performance in gravel racing. Understanding the role of hubs can help improve cycling performance. Investing in tires is more beneficial than hubs. The performance difference in hubs is marginal compared to tires. Cycling culture often intertwines with humor and beer. Tucson is recognized as a great place for cycling. The new Ridley bike lacks proper design for serious cycling. A production drop bar mountain bike should be purpose-built. Old inventory can lead to questionable bike builds. Cyclists often experiment with different tires for races. The conversation reflects a mix of technical and cultural insights. The hosts share personal experiences related to cycling events.

But, if you're like many runners I know, pre-run coffee often leaves you with jitters or stomach issues. That's why I was so excited when I found Nandaka by Pique—the ultimate coffee alternative designed to power your runs, your training, and your recovery. So, what makes Nandaka different? Most so-called “coffee alternatives” don't actually provide functional energy. But Nandaka is built for endurance Unlike coffee, which spikes your energy and leaves you crashing mid-run, Nandaka fuels you with steady, sustained endurance—no spikes, no crashes, just clean energy that lasts. Nandaka provides its caffeine from fermented probiotic teas, which provide a slow-release caffeine that prevents jitters and gives you sustained release for those long runs workouts. It also contains cordyceps mushrooms, which help boost VO2 max, delivering more oxygen to your muscles for better endurance Plus, the probiotic teas mean no digestive distress like you often get with coffee. If you're tired of running on fumes—or worse, running on coffee crashes—it's time to make the switch. Right now, Pique is offering 20% off for life AND a free Starter Kit with your first purchase.

Dr. Pojednic discusses the critical role of muscle in longevity, the challenges of maintaining muscle mass as we age, and how strength training, recovery, and proper nutrition can counteract sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss).She emphasizes that while aerobic exercise has traditionally been prioritized, resistance training is essential for metabolic health and functional strength as we get older. Dr. Pojednic explains that muscle loss begins as early as age 30, with hormonal shifts in both men and women contributing to the decline. However, strategic training—focusing on strength, power, and VO2 max—along with adequate recovery, can slow this process.Brad shares his personal approach to maintaining fitness over 40, including circuit training, HIIT on a rebounder, and daily brisk walking for Zone 2 cardio. Dr. Pojednic affirms the importance of varying exercise intensity and incorporating different modalities throughout the week.They also discuss how recovery is just as crucial as training, highlighting the need for proper rest to prevent injuries. Dr. Pojednic notes that today's wellness industry is bridging the gap between science and real-world application through therapies like infrared saunas, red light therapy, and IV micronutrient treatments.The conversation sets the stage for a deeper dive into supplementation and other biohacking strategies to enhance muscle growth and performance efficiently.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

Today's podcast features Mike Bruno. Mike is the Assistant Director of Olympic Sports Performance at Clemson University. Mike has both a sports performance and massage therapy background, with an approach influenced heavily by Bill Hartman's biomechanical model. He has worked with a wide variety of sports, including track and field, and currently oversees golf and tennis at Clemson. Human movement is composed of more than just muscle and neural signals. It is also heavily influenced by athletes' strategies to move pressure through their unique skeletal structures. By understanding the role of structure on speed and movement abilities, we can also better understand ideal training modalities and progressions for each athlete. On today's episode, Mike speaks on speed and power training through the lens of pressure management and skeletal structure. He talks about different structural archetypes and their needs in the weightroom, as well as how these archetypes lend to various performance outputs on the field of play (focusing on track speed and performance). With many anecdotes from the world of track and field, this episode draws numerous links between strength, speed and individual training factors.

Women collectively “Catch Up” to men in their risk by age 60, largely because of the loss of estrogen. Based on studies from the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session (April 2024) and the American Heart Association (2013, 2023). Changes in blood pressure, cholesterol, and visceral belly fat all seem to be a part of the menopause transition for many women. Women spend 40% or more of their lives post-menopause, that's a health risk if left unchecked. Women who have an early menopause, have even more time in their lives in post menopause. Many women are advised or think about weight loss, stress reduction. Very few women think about heart health risk and muscle loss. Yet, to define cardiovascular fitness is to talk about VO2 max. VO2 max measures oxygen consumption capacity or liters of oxygen the body consumes during exercise, expressed in ml/kg/min. For every 1 liter of oxygen consumed roughly 5 kcals are burned. Two components of VO2: The delivery of oxygen The extraction of oxygen from the tissues Heart health CAN decline rapidly after menopause… All statistics are based on historically what's been true… and we sometimes forget that if we choose not to participate in the same habits of past generations we don't have to get the same results. If you lose muscle, you lose VO2. If you lose VO2, you die tired, younger, sicker and fatter. Replacing the overemphasis on cardiovascular exercise which seems to be the first go-to for women, trainers, and physicians alike, with an equal emphasis on muscle is the first step. BUT.. that negates the fact that.. muscle-building exercise improves blood sugar levels, increase strength, stamina, power to inspire and motivate greater activity Training Plan to Avoid Risk of Heart Disease Post Menopause We also train wrong for women in midlife. Highs and lows are best for women midlife. Moderate-intensity exercise, a go-to for many women since the 80s, is actually an energy drain. Instead of reducing stress, it spikes cortisol, making fat loss and recovery harder. High intensity to toleration during perimenopause, not all women tolerate when hormones are doing the greatest fluctuation. There's a dance between the muscle, heart, bone benefits and the adrenals/cortisol response that has to be done. Post menopause hormones have stabilized and a woman is likely to tolerate more high intensity- not longer but with greater frequency from say 2 times a week to up to 4. This will help overcome the loss of fast twitch muscle fibers lost more quickly with age and without fast or powerful movements. The significant boost of growth hormone and testosterone that occurs with true high intensity exercise provides mitigation of cortisol. Let's review this again. Moderate exercise can occur for 3 reasons: Intentionally you unknowingly are trying to hit moderate level exercise You attend boot camp type classes that never allow complete recovery. They feel hard and high intensity for long periods of time, but in actuality, you're not reaching your peak capacity. You start out going at a low level but you either push it because you feel good or you go longer because it feels good, both result in a cardiac drift into the “no benefits zone” of moderate intensity exercise. What's the answer? Your midlife workout formula should look like this: 80% Low Intensity (walking, recovery movement)
You're not going to gain much fitness in the last few days before a race but nailing your carb load can give a huge boost in performance. We're bringing together registered dietician Travis Wilson and running coach Andie Cozzarelli to help you master the art of the carb load with topics including: How long before race day you need to start increasing your carb intake How to know how many carbs your body needs Whether to focus on whole grains or fast-absorbing simple carbs like pasta and white bread Examples of what to eat at each point in the carb load as your race approaches How to fix common fueling problems like cramping and GI upset Making carbs your friend will help you to hit your paces for longer without feeling fatigued and Travis helps us to understand the science behind how this works. metpro.co 3 Ways to Effectively Carb Loading Before a Race - Runners Connect Glycogen Calculator - How Many Grams of Crabs you Need to Avoid Hitting the Wall Connect, Comment, Community Follow RunnersConnect on Instagram Join the Elite Treatment where you get first dibs on everything RTTT each month!
