Mikael and Jack Hutchens each bring up four things they do in their coaching practice that the research does not support, or does not support in the form they use it. What the evidence says, what they do instead, and the reasoning they would defend it with. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: Tapering: Mikael prescribes 7 to 10 day tapers where the literature converges on two to three weeks, with a smaller volume cut than the meta-analyses land on. Why he thinks the study populations do not transfer. Torque training: Jack keeps low cadence work in every program despite a review finding no strong evidence it improves performance. His specificity case, and Mikael's rationale from the cadence drop late in an Ironman bike. Electrolytes: why Mikael prescribes them liberally while accepting the evidence is thin, the one athlete variable no study has controlled for, and the profile that really does not need them. Grey zone intervals: polarised training wins the short intervention studies, so why does Jack lean on the zone in between? The time horizon argument, and Mikael's three week VO2max block that stopped working after two. Heat training: ten sessions over two weeks for acclimation, five weeks of five for haemoglobin mass, against Mikael's minimal effective dose. Jack's pushback: does half a protocol buy half the adaptation? Strength training: where it sits in Jack's list of levers when time is fixed, who he does prioritise it for, and Mikael's rules on frequency, session length and the weekly hours threshold to bother at all. Sprint interval training: the protocol with a decent evidence base that Mikael almost never prescribes, what goes in that slot instead, and the cycling study published five days before recording that he never expected to see. Psychology: why Jack spends more coaching time on self-talk, goal setting and confidence than the evidence warrants, and Mikael's theory for why it looks so weak in group studies.

You're probably treating recovery as the reward for hard work, when elite sport treats it as part of the work.Andrew May has spent more than two decades coaching in sport and business, and Andrew thinks we have misdiagnosed a generation of exhausted leaders. Call it burnout and you go looking for rest. Andrew says the shortfall is usually capacity, and the first move is measuring it rather than resting on it.Pod O'Sullivan had Andrew on Don't Let The Old Man In podcast and asked him the things he does not get asked on his own show.

Dr. Dwayne Jackson is a health specialist, medical educator, scientist, and entrepreneur with a PhD in neurovascular physiology. Mitochondrial peptides may be promising, but they cannot replace the aerobic base that makes their effects measurable. Dr. Dwayne Jackson explains AMPK and mitochondrial signaling, what MOTS-c and SS-31 can and cannot tell us, and why fitness data, training, and recovery come before any experimental compound. Expect to learn how aerobic fitness supports strength and Strongman training, why lactate clearance and conditioning can become the rate limiter, what AMPK and mTOR signal, how kidney disease changed Dwayne's perspective on aerobic capacity, where the evidence for MOTS-c and SS-31 is limited, how to design a more useful N-of-1 experiment, and why training, nutrition, recovery, COAs, and third-party testing come before experimental compounds.

Charles Brenner breaks down what the science actually says about NAD+, separating established findings from the claims commonly made in the longevity space. He explains why NAD levels in tissues may matter more than blood measurements, how metabolic stress, alcohol, inflammation, and other conditions can disrupt the NAD system, and how nicotinamide riboside (NR) compares with niacin, nicotinamide, and NMN. The conversation also covers research on exercise recovery, peripheral artery disease, skin health, infection, and wound healing, along with the limitations of current human evidence. Brenner explains why he advises against IV and subcutaneous NAD+, discusses concerns around NMN quality, and challenges popular sirtuin-centered theories of anti-aging while emphasizing the importance of reproducible human research. Charles Brenner is an NAD metabolism researcher whose work focuses on cellular bioenergetics, vitamin B3 biology, metabolic stress, and the pathways that regulate NAD production and utilization throughout the body. Now based at the University of Helsinki, his research has examined how the NAD system responds to conditions ranging from metabolic and liver disease to mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and neurological stress. His work has also helped advance research into nicotinamide riboside as an NAD precursor and its potential applications in human health. Brenner takes an evidence-first approach to longevity science, distinguishing findings supported by controlled human studies from promising but still unproven mechanisms, animal research, and anecdotal claims.   Brenner Lab — Charles Brenner, PhD https://www.brennerlab.net/   Niagen NR Clinical Studies — Niagen Bioscience https://www.niagenbioscience.com/pages/clinical-studies   Nicotinamide Riboside for Peripheral Artery Disease — Mary M.

Harvard followed 74,000 women and found the ones who went to church more than once a week were 33% less likely to die. Northwestern followed young adults and found the most religiously involved were 50% more likely to become obese by middle age. Live longer, get sicker.

Join Dr. Pinkston as she sits down with John Goldman, founder and CEO of Rebel Health Alliance. John shares his journey from feeling chronically exhausted, pre-diabetic, and dependent on a CPAP machine to revitalizing his metabolic health and training to qualify for the Boston Marathon. Together, they discuss the limitations of traditional primary care, the power of deep-dive diagnostics, lifestyle medicine, and alternative models like high-performance primary care paired with community health sharing. Key Topics Covered: The Broken Primary Care System: Why traditional insurance-driven models fail to catch early markers of metabolic dysfunction, visceral fat, and inflammation. Deep Diagnostics: How comprehensive testing—including DEXA scans, VO2 max, DNA analysis, and coronary calcium scores—forms the foundation for long-term vitality. Overcoming Obstructive Sleep Apnea: John's personal experience transitioning to a CPAP/BiPAP and eventually resolving his condition through weight loss and metabolic restoration. The Rebel Health Model: Combining full-time physicians, strength coaches, registered dietitians, and genetic counselors into a seamless, accessible care team.

Daniel Rowland and Mikael are back for another research roundup with four recent studies. What blood biomarkers do and do not tell you about training load in elite triathletes, why two athletes with the same VO2max can have very different thresholds, what actually predicts running injuries in a cohort of 5,200 runners, and whether supersets deliver the same strength gains in a third less gym time. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: VLaMax (maximal glycolytic flux) and metabolic thresholds: the first evidence in real athletes that at a given VO2max, a higher glycolytic rate means a lower threshold power. How VLaMax is measured, why sprint power on its own tells you little to nothing, and whether you can and should measure it and base training decisions off it. How much running is too much: in 5,205 runners tracked over 18 months, a single run 10 to 30% longer than the longest run of the previous 30 days came with a 64% higher injury risk, and bigger jumps than that led to injury risk increasing by well over 100%. Why the acute:chronic workload ratio and the classic weekly 10% rule showed little or no relationship with injury, and why you should never use the performance management chart for controlling running load. Practical long run progression for a marathon or an Ironman, and the one TrainingPeaks chart Mikael looks at more than any other. Four seasons of blood urea and creatine kinase in 20 elite (some world class) triathletes: urea tracks training load, CK does not, and a single reading against a reference range means almost nothing. Why the ratio of objective to subjective training load may be the most useful signal a coach has, and a heuristic for using it in practice. Supersets versus traditional sets: the same strength, hypertrophy, power and body composition gains in 36% less time, 44 minutes per session against 69, and how to apply that to a triathlete's lower body dominant strength programme.

Become a Supporter of The Real Science of Sport, and you get ad-free listening, an Applied Science bonus show every week, plus a seat at the best conversation in sport. All for less than a decent gel.Show notesJosh Kerr, the Commonwealth Games, a stitch explained, the Tour de France Femmes, and yet another South African schoolboy rugby doping ban. In today's show:(00:00:38) We joked before Glasgow that this might be the last Commonwealth Games we ever see, and we were wrong. They survived in a cut-down, ten sport form, with India in 2030 and interest from Nigeria and New Zealand for 2034. We debate whether a smaller, cheaper games is actually the point rather than the problem, and what it means that the BBC's sub-one-million-pound bid was rejected, leaving Josh Kerr's mile watched by 200,000 people when Eilish McColgan's 10,000m in 2022 drew six million.(00:02:37) The performances, including Emmanuel Eseme of Cameroon running 9.83 in apocalyptic rain, three women under 11 seconds, and Josh Kerr's utterly dominant 3:54 mile off a jogged first kilometre. With the fastest mile in history relative to his peers and a devastating kick, how does anyone actually beat him now, and will the 1500m world record follow? Kerr says he is flying a little close to the sun, and we explain why staying in world record shape is like sitting in the death zone on Everest.(00:24:13) Laura Muir crossed the line 16th and collapsed after a stitch at 3km, so what actually causes one? We go through exercise related transient abdominal pain, the old diaphragmatic ischaemia theory, the newer parietal peritoneum irritation explanation, why shoulder tip pain is referred pain, and the risk factors including drinking before you run, being younger, being female, and having weaker trunk muscles.(00:33:56) Ingebrigtsen returns at the Euros over 5000m off two disrupted seasons and Achilles surgery, and we're not sure it'll be the comeback people hope for.(00:44:52) The Tour de France Femmes is brewing into a genuinely great race, with time gaps after the time-trial necessitating attacking racing as the Tour heads into its hilly and mountain stages. Niewiadoma and Ferrand-Prevot in particular need to claw back big time, while Reuser defends and Vollering waits ominously in pole-position. Instead the world's media is writing about padded bras. Why does cycling always shoot itself in the foot, and why is it a headline for the women when it was an incidental for the men?(00:47:40) Tadej Pogačar's estimated VO2max of over 100 is doing the rounds, using exactly the methods Ross was hammered for using on Contador and Froome fifteen years ago. We explain the modelling, why assumptions can spit out anything between 85 and 101, and what that means for comparing Pogačar to Pantani on Alpe d'Huez.(00:55:56) The full Markéta Vondroušová decision is out, and it reads very differently to the version that had tennis players outraged. Plus a hard look at South African schools rugby, where Deon Botes is the third schoolboy banned in months, this time for a supplement his father allegedly bought for cash from a stranger outside a pharmacy with "ultimate test booster" on the box.(01:12:47) Jannik Sinner walks away from a potential clean sweep of the Masters events to play less tennis before the US Open, while Carlos Alcaraz withdraws from Cincinnati and extends a wrist injury layoff that has now cost him May, June, July, and half of August. Two very different answers to the same question, and one that echoes Josh Kerr's approach to racing.(01:15:00) And finally, an update on Anna's ride around Australia. Nine days, 976km, 7,940m of climbing, one chain change, and three magpie attacks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Salut les sportifs intelligents ! Cette semaine on va parler de la raison n°1 pour laquelle tu peux t'entraîner sérieusement sans voir ton corps changer — et ce n'est pas ce que tu crois.Dans cet épisode, on démonte l'idée reçue "je fais du sport donc je dois perdre du poids" pour comprendre ce qui se joue réellement :

Mikael and Jack answer listener questions on indoor versus outdoor FTP differences, whether time in zone is all that matters and how to optimise interval intensity, a first 70.3 debrief covering swim breathing problems and bike cramps, and lots more! Email us your questions, or answer the question prompts in our Instagram stories to get your questions answered on the next Q&A. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: Why indoor and outdoor FTP differ, whether a 20-watt gap is normal, and why Mikael has never had an athlete test both. Fans and airflow as the most underrated indoor cycling upgrade, including the research showing 40 km time-trial power is maintained up to 27°C when airflow matches outdoor riding speed. How to back-calculate an outdoor FTP from your own sweet spot and threshold interval data rather than doing a second test. Why a 10-minute interval should not be done at your 10-minute power, and how to perform a session so you finish at a session RPE of 7 to 8 with something left in the tank. Is time in zone all that matters? The same power and the same total work can produce very different internal loads. Minimum rep lengths if you want to spread work through a longer ride: 4 to 5 minutes for VO2max reps, 10 to 15 minutes for threshold reps. A first 70.3 debrief: why the swim breathing fell apart and how to break the hypercapnia (CO2 buildup) spiral, and what most likely caused hamstring cramps at 70 km on a hilly bike course. Instagram questions: finding your bike power in the first 20 minutes of a race, whether a VO2max block followed by a threshold block is a silver bullet, training after dental surgery, splitting 120 g of carbs per hour, and preparing for the Ironman Nice climb when you have no long climbs.

Could some of the changes we associate with aging actually involve declining oxygen utilization?In Episode 147 of The Dr. Haley Show, Dr. Michael Haley speaks with Brad Pitzele, founder of One Thousand Roads, about Exercise With Oxygen Therapy—better known as EWOT.Brad's interest in EWOT began during his own struggle with cancer, autoimmune illness, chronic Lyme disease, Bartonella, chronic fatigue, severe foot pain, and declining mobility. After trying numerous approaches without meaningful improvement, he used his mechanical-engineering background to build an EWOT system of his own.Brad explains what he experienced after using the system consistently, why he believes oxygen utilization deserves more attention, and how that personal journey led him to establish One Thousand Roads.In this episode, you will learn:• What EWOT is and how a typical session works• Why concentrated oxygen is combined with exercise• How oxygen utilization may change with age and inflammation• The proposed relationship between circulation, capillaries, oxygen, and cellular energy• How EWOT differs from ordinary supplemental oxygen• EWOT compared with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or HBOT• Whether the benefits come from oxygen, exercise, or both• What an EWOT session may feel like• Which forms of exercise can be used with EWOT• Why sessions commonly last approximately 15 minutes• How often Brad recommends using EWOT• What to consider when comparing EWOT systems• The difference between 5-liter and 10-liter oxygen concentrators• Why reservoir capacity, mask quality, component safety, and customer support matter• How EWOT may be combined with red light therapy• Potential applications involving exercise performance, recovery, VO2 max, healthy aging, and chronic health challenges• Why EWOT should not be presented as a cure for cancer or other diseasesABOUT BRAD PITZELEBrad Pitzele is the founder of One Thousand Roads, a wellness technology company focused on Exercise With Oxygen Therapy and red light therapy.Brad's work grew from his own experience with serious health challenges, including cancer, autoimmune illness, chronic Lyme disease, fatigue, pain, and limited mobility. He credits EWOT and red light therapy with helping change the direction of his recovery.Combining that experience with his background in mechanical engineering and business, Brad now works to make these technologies easier to understand and more accessible.

Robbie Deckard is a professional middle-distance triathlete and triathlon coach, and the founder of Freaky Fast Aero Accessories. In this episode, Robbie and Mikael dig into the real differences between American and European training methods, using lactate and VLaMax to optimise training and performance, and how age-group triathletes can apply lab-grade thinking to swim, bike and run training without actually going into a lab. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: The real difference between FTP-centric American coaching and the German/Benelux style built around VLaMax, VO2max and physiological profiling. The evolution of VLaMax based training: from Alois Mader's 1970s model through Jan Olbrecht to current day coaches like Dan Lorang. Robbie's case for still doing dedicated VO2max work, including a case study that took an amateur cyclist's VO2max from 74 to 87 mL/kg/min over 58 weeks of block periodisation. Why building maximal aerobic power early is more valuable long-term than chasing threshold gains, and how that shapes the "durability" that separates junior and U23 cyclists from senior professional cyclists. How Robbie profiles athletes using LT1, LT2 and 5-minute power (or 500 yd swim time, or mile run time), and what typical percentage utilisation looks like for age-groupers versus elites. How he prescribes endurance, threshold and VO2max sessions in practice, including cues (power, pace, RPE), lactate targets, and why exact wattage precision on threshold work matters less than people think. Practical advice for age-groupers: open-water swim skills and ankle-band drills, running road races for pacing and durability, and hill running for strength and economy. Improving aerodynamics on a budget: reduce frontal area first, then refine airflow, and how to measure progress without a wind tunnel using Golden Cheetah or a simple speed sensor.

CE PODCAST EST PRÉSENTÉ PAR GO'LUM, (plus d'infos ci-dessous

Six days before he sat down for this conversation, he ran a marathon. Then he explained what the race did to his brain. When you run 26 miles and your glycogen runs out, your brain still needs energy, so it starts stripping the fatty myelin off its own neurons and burning it for fuel. MRI scans caught a 20% drop in myelin up to two months after a marathon, and cognitive testing showed real impairment for about a month. In this episode, Louisa sits down with Brady Holmer, exercise physiologist, 2:24 marathoner, and author of VO2 Max Essentials, for one of the most practical conversations on aerobic fitness, brain health, and longevity the show has recorded. They cover why "marathon brain" is real but temporary, the menopause parallel where a starved brain catabolizes its own white matter, and whether pre-loading ketones or omega-3s can protect your myelin through a hard endurance effort. Then Brady breaks down VO2 max the way almost nobody does: not as a heart-and-lung number, but as a five-step oxygen cascade running from your lungs to your mitochondria, and why the bottleneck moves from your heart to your muscles as you age. You will learn the exact VO2 max floor below which everything becomes a maximal effort, the "50 at 50" target, and why women should aim for 40 to 50. Brady also lays out how the brain itself gates your fitness through myokine signaling, why the one to two hours after training may matter more than sleep for adaptation, and the truth about "non-responders" and the IGF binding protein biology behind trainability. Then the protocols: why the Norwegian 4x4 beats Tabata for VO2 max, how sauna and post-exercise ketones amplify the same session, why sleep consistency beats sleep duration, and the single weekly workout Brady says everyone should be doing for both VO2 max and brain health over the next decade.

Au sommaire de ce nouvel épisode du talk-show du trail et de l'ultra-trail, Nicolas Fréret vous propose un débat sur l'un des indicateurs les plus commentés, les plus fantasmés et parfois les plus mal compris du sport d'endurance : la VO₂ Max.Votre performance en trail dépend-elle vraiment de votre VO₂ Max ? Est-ce que les athlètes qui possèdent les valeurs les plus élevées gagnent systématiquement les courses ? Peut-on performer sur ultra-trail avec une VO₂ Max considérée comme « moyenne » ? Comment la développer, faut-il la travailler spécifiquement… et est-ce seulement utile de le faire ?Pour décrypter, vulgariser et parfois bousculer certaines idées reçues, Nicolas Fréret est entouré d'un trio de chroniqueurs complémentaires : la coach et physiologiste Sabine Ehrström - qui a rédigé une chronique sur le sujet à retrouver sur le site web de Distances+, le médecin cardiologue et ultra-traileur Anthony Costa, et l'ultra-traileur Ugo Ferrari.Également au sommaire :

What does it really take to build a healthier life without getting lost in trends, misinformation, and quick fixes? In this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with entrepreneur, author, and wellness expert Sam Tejada for a deep conversation about modern wellness, preventive health, and the discipline required to create lasting change.Sam shares his incredible journey from becoming a certified lifeguard at just 14 years old to serving as a firefighter and paramedic before launching Liquid Vita, a company focused on helping people take control of their health through data-driven care. Along the way, he explains how his experiences inside emergency medicine completely changed the way he viewed the healthcare system and why he became passionate about prevention instead of simply treating illness after it appears.Luis and Sam dive into the growing movement toward functional medicine, discussing why so many people are questioning traditional healthcare, how lifestyle choices affect long-term health, and why understanding your body is one of the greatest investments you can make. They also unpack the role of toxins, inflammation, nutrition, recovery, and exercise while separating solid information from the hype that often floods social media.The conversation doesn't stop at science. It becomes personal as Luis opens up about his own transformation after losing more than 120 pounds. He shares the mental battles that continue long after the weight comes off, including body dysmorphia, fear of slipping back into old habits, and the daily choice to stay disciplined. Sam offers practical advice for building healthy routines that become part of your identity instead of temporary resolutions.The episode also explores the growing interest in peptides, longevity medicine, biohacking, and advanced health testing. Sam explains how tools like DEXA scans, VO2 Max testing, blood analysis, toxic load testing, and metabolic assessments can provide a clearer picture of overall health instead of relying on guesswork. He also discusses why personalized treatment plans often produce better long-term results than one-size-fits-all wellness trends.Throughout the conversation, both Luis and Sam emphasize that knowledge alone isn't enough. Real change comes from applying what you learn consistently, making better choices every day, and building habits that support the life you want to live. Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, business owner, or simply someone looking to improve your health, this episode offers practical insights that extend far beyond fitness.In this episode, you'll hear about:Sam Tejada's journey from firefighter to entrepreneur and founder of Liquid VitaThe difference between reactive medicine and preventive healthcareWhy discipline outlasts motivation when building healthier habitsFunctional medicine, biohacking, peptides, and modern wellnessThe importance of DEXA scans, VO2 Max testing, blood work, and personalized health dataNutrition, inflammation, toxins, recovery, and metabolic healthLuis Guzman's personal weight-loss journey and lessons learned after losing over 120 poundsBuilding a sustainable lifestyle instead of chasing short-term resultsIf you enjoyed this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, be sure to subscribe so you never miss a conversation with entrepreneurs, creatives, and industry leaders who share the real stories behind their success.

In this episdoe:  0:04 - VO2 Max Obsession Explained 2:58 - Study Design and Data Scale 4:41  - VO2 Max Is Only a Metric 7:34 - Performance, Not Just Endurance 8:49 - Body Fat and Activity Matter 12:59 - Why Performance Goals Work 17:16 - GLP-1s and Body Composition 21:12 - No Metric Chasing 22:09 - No Fitness Hacks 24:37 - Home Gym Con Update 26:10 - App Progress Report 30:43 - Teen Testing the App In this episode, we discuss why VO2 max has become a common focus in fitness and longevity conversations, and we look at whether it is the main driver of longer life or mainly a marker of other factors. We break down the study findings and note that body composition, especially body fat percentage, and overall physical activity appear to be more important predictors of longevity than chasing VO2 max directly.We also compare VO2 max with other fitness metrics and say that focusing on one number can make people miss the habits that create it. We then shift to goal setting and explain that performance goals like improving a mile time or a back squat are often more motivating than aiming only at fat loss or a scale target. We finish with updates on the app, including testing on Apple and Android, and mention our upcoming appearance at Home Gym Con. We also note that athletes are already using the app and giving feedback.

This week's Addicted to Fitness discusses several physical tests you can do from home that will give you insight into your longevity. Nick and Shannon describe how you can test your VO2 Max, balance, mobility, heart rate, and grip strength with little to no equipment. They also discuss compression pants, explosive diarrhea, and World Cup parodies on this week's episode. Follow the podcast profile on Instagram @TheATFPodcast.

A research roundup episode, where Dr. Gabriele Gallo (of KnowledgeIsWatt) and myself cover four recent research papers and how they might help us train better and improve our understanding of triathlon and endurance performance HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS:  Do the same training program twice - get different results? (and how Gabriele and I disagree slightly on the conclusions to draw from this study) Strength training is beneficial for cycling performance, but how beneficial is it really? And is it beneficial for everybody? Finally, how should you structure your strength training program to make it so?  A massive review on the impact of different types of endurance training on mitochondrial and capillary growth, and VO2max improvements.  What separates athletes of different performance levels is not how high they can push their threshold as a percentage of VO2max, but how high the VO2max is in the first place.  SHOWNOTES, LINKS, RESOURCES AND RELATED EPISODES:  Follow Gabriele and KnowledgeIsWatt on his website, Substack and Instagram The shownotes for today's episode can be found here.  The full podcast episode archives (including category filters) can be found here.  Limited reproducibility of individual physiological adaptations to repeated endurance exercise training - Odden et al. 2026 Heavy strength training effects on physiological determinants of endurance cyclist performance: a systematic review with meta-analysis - Llanos-Lagos et al. 2025 Effects of Exercise Training on Mitochondrial and Capillary Growth in Human Skeletal Muscle: A Systematic Review and Meta-Regression - Mølmen et al. 2024 Elite Aerobic Endurance Performance: Is It Really Related to Lactate Threshold Expressed Relative to Peak Oxygen Uptake? - Johansen et al. 2025 Strength training improves performance and pedaling characteristics in elite cyclists - Rønnestad et al. 2014 Five-Minute Power-Based Test to Predict Maximal Oxygen Consumption in Road Cycling - Sitko et al. 2022 SPONSORS: Precision Fuel & Hydration produce our favourite gels, sports drinks, and electrolyte and carbohydrate products here at That Triathlon Show and Scientific Triathlon.

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Paul Oneid, MS, MS, CSCS and Cody Miller for a conversation about rebuilding from injury and the transition from strength sports to endurance training. Paul Oneid tore both quads and rebuilt himself from powerlifter to trail runner, with coach Cody Miller guiding the transition. They break down the emergent training approach, VO2 max and cardiac adaptations, and the mental side of suffering across strength sports and endurance. In this episode, you'll learn: How Paul's decision to move away from powerlifting and bodybuilding after tearing both quads The emergent, responsive approach Cody used to build Paul's running base from scratch Why cardiac structural adaptations (like resting heart rate drops) take months, not weeks Cody's time-to-exhaustion model for structuring endurance intervals without needing lactate testing Find Paul here: https://masterathletic.com https://coachescorneru.com https://www.instagram.com/pauloneid/ Find Cody here: https://hoopiestrength.com/ https://www.instagram.com/coach.cody.miller Get the Daily Fitness Insider newsletter (free): https://www.miketnelson.com/newsletter

Does body weight matter more than fitness when it comes to living a longer, healthier life?In this episode, Luke Carlson explores a brand-new meta-analysis published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine examining the relationship between body mass index (BMI), cardiorespiratory fitness, and mortality. The findings reinforce decades of research behind the "Fit-Fat Paradox": individuals who are physically fit—even if they are overweight—often have a lower risk of premature death than individuals who are lean but unfit.Luke breaks down what this research means for exercisers, explains why fitness and body weight are not the same thing, and discusses why improving your VO₂ max and muscle strength should be prioritized over simply chasing a lower number on the scale. He also examines why exercise is remarkably effective at improving fitness but relatively ineffective for weight loss—and why that's actually good news.If your goal is longevity, this episode offers an evidence-based perspective that may completely change how you think about health, fitness, and body composition.Discover Strength offers free Introductory Workouts at any location across the United States.

Send us Fan MailPeaches sits down with Marc Humbert and Cameron Garber from KORR Medical Technologies to talk VO2 max, metabolic testing, heart rate zones, fueling, recovery, and how warfighters can train smarter instead of just getting crushed.This episode breaks down what VO2 max actually measures, why oxygen consumption matters, how carbon dioxide output helps determine fat and carbohydrate burn, and why heart rate zones are only useful when they are actually individualized. Marc and Cameron explain how metabolic testing can help athletes, warfighters, pilots, and tactical professionals understand workload, caloric burn, fatigue resistance, recovery needs, and performance limitations.The crew also gets into Zone 2 cardio, why easy days need to actually be easy, how hard days should be hard enough to drive adaptation, and why constantly redlining every workout is a fast track to burnout, fatigue, and injury. They also discuss military readiness, human performance, pilot endurance, long-duration missions, rucking, carbohydrate replacement, fat adaptation, and how testing can help protect the investment the military makes in its people.Find KORR Medical Technologies:KORR.comCheck out Tasty Gains:TastyGains.comGear from ATACLETE:OnesReady.comTrain with us:OperatorTrainingSummit.comChapters:00:00 - Intro, Tasty Gains, ATACLETE, and Operator Training Summit03:17 - Meet Marc and Cameron from KORR Medical Technologies04:00 - Health, Longevity, and Staying Ready for Life07:18 - Why Metabolic Testing Matters Before People Break10:23 - Protecting the Military's Investment in People13:25 - Readiness During Service and Life After Service17:43 - What the Cardio Coach Measures19:19 - VO2 Max, Workload, and Caloric Burn21:37 - Fat vs. Carbohydrate Burn23:58 - Fueling, Recovery, and Heart Rate Zones25:12 - Individualizing Training Instead of Guessing27:03 - Why Harder Every Day Does Not Work28:52 - Zone 2, Taylor Starch, and Smarter Programming30:53 - Training You Can Actually Recover From32:00 - Why Easy Days Need to Stay Easy35:40 - Different Athletes Need Different Fueling Strategies37:28 - Pilot Endurance and Long-Duration Missions43:05 - Fatigue Resistance Testing46:12 - Honoring Heart Rate Zones and Recovery Signals48:04 - The 80/20 Training Model51:28 - Rucking, Heavy Loads, and Calorie Replacement56:35 - Who Should Use the Cardio Coach?59:47 - Military Use Cases for VO2 Testing01:02:15 - How to Find KORR Medical Technologies01:03:40 - Cutting Through Fitness Misinformation01:04:14 - Final Thoughts and Wrap-UpSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

Plus: Hyperbaric chambers, red-light therapy, mRNA, cancer research, and the surprising importance of boredom and friction. Kara Swisher is a veteran tech journalist, host of the Pivot podcast with Scott Galloway, and one of the most influential voices covering the intersection of technology and power. Her new CNN documentary series, Kara Swisher Wants to Live Forever, takes on the longevity industry — separating genuine medical breakthroughs from the pseudoscience being sold to anyone with a credit card and a fear of aging. Kara Swisher has been covering Silicon Valley longer than most of its billionaires have been rich — and she's watched them turn a simple fear of death into a multi-billion dollar industry of expensive, largely unproven interventions. After her own stroke at 49, she decided to investigate: what actually works, what's a grift, and what does the science really say about living longer? The result is a new CNN documentary series that's part BS-detector, part genuinely hopeful look at the medical breakthroughs that could change everything. This conversation covers both. We talked about: Why biohacking culture is basically a men's eating disorder dressed up as science Bryan Johnson, Peter Attia, and what Silicon Valley gets catastrophically wrong about longevity The supplements, therapies, and interventions that are mostly hype (peptides, hyperbaric chambers, red light therapy, full-body scans) What VO2 max actually measures — and why it's one of the few metrics worth tracking GLP-1 drugs: the real promise behind the Ozempic headlines The mRNA breakthroughs that could produce a pancreatic cancer vaccine Why your relationships are a more powerful longevity drug than anything you can buy The case for boredom, friction, and putting your phone down How thinking about death every day can make you happier and less afraid Get the 10% with Dan Harris app here Sign up for Dan's free newsletter here Follow Dan on social: Instagram, TikTok Subscribe to our YouTube Channel This episode is sponsored by: Eight Sleep: Use code DanHarris at eightsleep.com/danharris for up to $350 off the Pod 5, with a 30-day trial if it's not for you.

How to Reverse Cognitive Decline, Grow Your Hippocampus, and Protect Your Brain from Alzheimer's Disease with Nutrition, Exercise, Sleep, and Stress Reduction Your brain is physically shrinking right now, and most people have no idea it's happening. In this episode, you will discover the exact mechanisms behind cognitive decline, why brain fog is always treatable, and the proven strategies to grow your brain back, protect your memory, and slash your Alzheimer's risk regardless of your genetics. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Majid Fotuhi, a neuroscientist and neurologist who earned his PhD from Johns Hopkins University and his medical degree from Harvard Medical School. He currently serves as an adjunct professor at the Mind/Brain Institute at Johns Hopkins while also teaching at George Washington University and Harvard Medical School. With 37 years of experience in clinical practice, teaching, and neuroscience research, Dr. Fotuhi pioneered the Brain Fitness Program, a multidisciplinary approach to cognitive performance and brain vitality at any age that has produced measurable results documented in peer-reviewed journals. He is the author of three books including the bestselling The Invincible Brain and one of the world's leading experts on neuroplasticity, hippocampus growth, and successful aging. If anyone has earned the right to tell you your brain can get better, it is him. Dr. Fotuhi and Dave break down why Alzheimer's is not a single disease but a soup of modifiable problems, why your lab results can show "normal" while your brain is starving, and how the five pillars of brain health connect directly to longevity, mitochondria function, and human performance. They also get into the brain effects of GLP-1s, the therapeutic promise of psychedelics like psilocybin and ketamine, the role of nootropics and supplements like B12, lithium orotate, and CoQ10, and why your VO2 max may be the single most important number for brain aging. . You'll Learn: Why 97% of Alzheimer's cases involve multiple modifiable causes and what to do about each one How to physically grow your hippocampus through exercise, meditation, and nutrition Why "normal" lab ranges are actively harming millions of people and what optimal actually looks like The 7 everyday things that are shrinking your brain right now How stress, loneliness, and isolation cause measurable brain atrophy Which supplements including B12, lithium orotate, CoQ10, and nootropics support long-term brain health Why VO2 max predicts brain aging better than almost any other marker What psychedelics like psilocybin and ketamine actually do to your brain according to a Johns Hopkins neurologist How the APOE4 gene affects Alzheimer's risk and why exercise can erase that risk entirely Why mitochondria health is the foundation of both brain function and longevity Thank you to our sponsors! - Viome | Check it out at viome.com and use code 10DAVE for 10% off.

If you are focusing on improving your FatMax in 2026, you're likely wasting time and money. Not only is fat a more expensive substrate to burn than carbohydrate (you get less energy for the same amount of oxygen by oxidising fat), but the Fatmax number you see in your lab report is mostly noise and very little signal.  In today's episode of That Triathlon Show I'll explain exactly why that is, but I'll also give you a tool to evaluate any test or measure that you might (or might not) want to be tracking, from Time Trials to VO2max, HRV and various biomarkers like ferritin and testosterone.  HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS:  What is Fatmax and Maximal Rate of Fat Oxidation?  How reliable is Fatmax testing?  How to measure the noise of a test using the Coefficient of Variation (CV) How to calculate the Smallest Detectable Change (SDC) of any test or measure Why the SDC of Fatmax is the equivalent of you having to go from 300 to 384W for your 20-minute power to be able to say that this was real improvement and not just noise (!!)  CVs and CV ranges for common tests and measures used in triathlon, Ironman and other endurance sports, including Time Trials, Time To Exhaustion, VO2max, lactate and ventilatory thresholds, economy and gross efficiency, lactate concentration, Critical Power and W', HRV, ferritin, testosterone, TSH and more Why carbohydrate is a 7% more efficient energy substrate than fat, and why you should be oxidising carbs in your next Ironman.  DETAILED EPISODE SHOWNOTES:  We have detailed shownotes for all of our episodes. The shownotes are basically the podcast episode in written form, that you can read in 5-10 minutes. They are not transcriptions, but they are also not just surface-level overviews.

Brady Holmer has a Master's degree in Human Performance, writes the incredibly popular Physiologically Speaking newsletter, and has recently run a 2:24 marathon. He also trains unconventionally: gone are the 100-mile weeks and in place of them are moderate mileage weeks (60-80) with 10+ hours of cycling.  In this episode, we rank the core 3 performance metrics of VO2 Max, Lactate Threshold, and Running Economy and discuss how they interact with physiological resiliency, how they can be improved, and which one is the most important.  Extra Resources: Zone 2 Myths, Heart Rate vs. Effort, Heat Training, and Zone 3 (one of our most popular episodes with Brady!)

Previnex is a unique supplement company - one that I trust because they do things differently when they don't have to. Their products use clinically proven ingredients, are tested before and after formulation, and they donate vitamins to needy kids. Maybe more importantly, their products do what they say they're going to do. Listen to this feedback about Joint Health Plus! "My ankle and knee pain was completely gone in a week. Amazing!" - Kim "I thought I was on the verge of having to give up running due to severe hip pain and luckily discovered Previnex - complete game changer for me!" - Anna "I am so grateful for Joint Health Plus! As a certified fitness professional and still an extremely active, competitive amateur athlete, I was getting discouraged with an increase in pain simply kneeling down, or bending down to the floor and getting back up while assisting clients, or in my own training! Once deciding to give this product a try, I was floored when I finally noticed I was not bracing in anticipation of pain when I had to kneel down; not whincing in discomfort upon standing! Thank you, Prevenix!" - Jessica Joint Health Plus is so powerful because the main active ingredient is clinically proven to reduce joint pain, reduce joint stiffness, and improve joint flexibility in just 7-10 days. It's also clinically proven, not just tested, but actually proven in double-blinded, placebo- controlled studies to protect joint cartilage from breaking down during exercise.

Thank you Lever! Lever is back as a sponsor and I couldn't be more excited. They make a treadmill attachment that reduces your body weight, letting you run more mileage than you typically could with less injury risk.   They're also trusted by physical therapists, where they're commonly used during injury recovery so you can keep running with less load and impact. They're a "secret weapon" during rehab of many pro runners. Lever attaches to any treadmill and you hook into it like a harness. It effectively makes you lighter, allowing you to do more running with less risk. So maybe you want to build more mileage, or run hard workouts but you're hesitant because of injury concerns. The pro's have been using Lever for years, letting them get the advantage of more training with fewer injuries. I had the chance to go for a run using Lever and it was deceptively easy to set up and use. All of a sudden, I was running 7min mile pace with the heart rate of 8:30 pace. You can see it in action on our YouTube channel. Go to levermovement.com and use code Strength20 (with a capital S) for 20% off any system!

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.

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/sisson2026 In this episode with Mark Sisson, you'll discover why VO2 Max may be overrated as the gold standard for longevity, and why chasing it cost Mark 32 pounds of muscle and the real-world function that actually matters. You'll explore his "Old Man Olympics" framework: a decathlete's approach to fitness at 72, spanning strength, speed, balance, and endurance. You'll also get his take on cold plunging, alcohol, biohacking, AI, and find out why foot health may be the single most overlooked lever in your longevity toolkit, from bunions to glute activation to big toe function. Mark Sisson ignited the ancestral health movement with Mark's Daily Apple and The Primal Blueprint, popularized keto and intermittent fasting with The Keto Reset Diet and Two Meals a Day, and sold Primal Kitchen to Kraft Heinz for $200M. He now runs Peluva, a toe-separated shoe company built around restoring foot strength and healthy gait, and is the author of Born to Walk.
