In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Denmark-based coach and hybrid athlete Andreas Stobberup to talk about bridging serious strength training with high-level endurance performance. Andreas shares his journey from peaking around 250 lbs with a 405 bench and 600+ squat to dropping to 205 and completing a full Ironman in 9:52—while continuing to coach athletes across disciplines. We discuss the reality gap between amateur and elite performance, how influencer culture often strips context from training advice, and why fundamentals still win: training, nutrition, sleep, and measurable outputs. We break down common misunderstandings around Zone 2 training, why pros don't train the way social media says they do, and how strength athletes can intelligently add conditioning without compromising lifting. We also cover VO₂ max development, microdosing cardio, output-based tracking (times, power, lactate), and how to think about HRV and wearable data in context. If you're interested in hybrid training, improving conditioning without sacrificing muscle, or understanding how to measure what actually matters, this one is packed with practical insight.

Get 20% off through February 17:http://bit.ly/fitness-lab-pod20--You've been told cardio is for a healthy heart and lifting weights is for building muscle. But what if strength training is itself a form of cardio?What if you're ignoring one of the most effective tools for lowering blood pressure, improving cholesterol, and reducing your risk of heart disease?Philip breaks down the evidence showing that strength training lowers blood pressure on par with first-line medication, improves HDL and LDL cholesterol, enhances insulin sensitivity, and reduces visceral fat, all independent of cardio. You'll learn why your muscle tissue functions as a metabolic organ that regulates blood sugar, why adults who lift have up to 17% lower cardiovascular disease risk, and how to program your lifting sessions to get a real cardiovascular training effect without adding time on the treadmill. Philip also answers listener Jack R.'s question comparing cardio and lifting head-to-head for fat loss, muscle building, and long-term sustainability after 40. Whether you're already strength training over 40 or still treating the weight room as optional for heart health and longevity, this episode gives you the evidence-based case for making lifting your foundation.Timestamps:0:00 - Why "cardio for your heart" is incomplete 1:43 - The 2023 AHA statement about lifting weights and heart health 5:28 - How strength training lowers blood pressure as much as medication 7:11 - Nitric oxide, arterial stiffness, and improved blood vessels 9:27 - Cholesterol, triglycerides, and ApoB improvements 13:17 - Why muscle is your most powerful metabolic organ for insulin and blood sugar 15:20 - Cardio vs. lifting for fat loss and building muscle after 40 18:01 - Visceral fat, inflammation, and menopause 19:47 - Can lifting weights improve VO2max? 22:01 - Longevity data and the minimum dose of strength training for heart health 23:57 - How to get cardiovascular benefits WITHOUT extra cardio 26:04 - Rest periods, compound movements, and rep ranges for heart-healthy lifting 28:59 - Weekly template combining strength training and walking 30:59 - Physical reserve and why strength protects your heart all day 33:04 - Bonus: 10-second heart rate recovery test you can do between sets

This audio overview, titled "Raise Your Ceiling or Raise the Roof," provides a deep dive into the Athletic Architecture model used by QT2 Systems to determine an athlete's ideal training focus. The episode explores the critical relationship between an athlete's sustainable threshold - their "ceiling" - and their absolute high-end capacity - their "roof". The discussion centers on how the ratio between Critical Power/Speed and power/speed at VO2 Max defines an athlete's physiological state and dictates which of two primary training paths will offer the highest return on training investment: Raising the Ceiling: The hosts explain that for athletes in an Anaerobic physiological state (ratio < 85%), the "attic space" is too large. In these cases, the priority is a Build/TH block designed to lift the ceiling closer to the roof, making more of the athlete's existing capacity usable for longer durations. Raising the Roof: Conversely, for athletes in an Aerobic physiological state (ratio > 88%), the "attic" has become a "crawl space," meaning the ceiling is pushed right against the roof. The hosts discuss how a VO2 Max block can be used as a targeted intervention to lift the absolute upper limit, thereby creating the necessary physical space for the threshold to grow in the future. Throughout the overview, the hosts emphasize the importance of intentional training. By using testing data to identify whether an athlete needs to focus on their sustainable potential (the ceiling) or their absolute capacity (the roof), coaches can avoid a "scattershot approach" and ensure that resources are not wasted training energy systems that are already well-developed. The episode concludes by reviewing how these physiological decisions fit into a broader framework that also considers practical factors like injury history and race proximity. *This audio overview is AI-generated off of QT2 Systems' knowledge-base of source materials.

Základní hodnotou všech longevity nadšenců se v posledních letech stalo VO2 max, které prozrazuje celkovou zdatnost člověka. Jenže změřit ho na chytrých hodinkách je v podstatě nemožné. Proto je lepší sledovat jinou hodnotu, která o zdraví a aktuální fyzičce prozradí mnohem více. „Naprosto zásadní a přelomová věc je kontinuální měření variability srdečního tepu, tedy takzvané HRV. Je to geniální věc z pohledu nejen sportu, ale i z pohledu monitorování zdravotního stavu nebo životního stylu,“ říká lékař a trenér Ondřej Vojtěchovský a odpovídá i na otázky, co přesně tato hodnota ukazuje a proč je tak klíčová.

Pierwszy polski podcast triathlonowy, gdzie treść, forma i wykonanie jest dziełem sztucznej inteligencji.Temat wybitnego wyniku testu VO2Max Kritiana Blummenfelta jest tylko pretekstem do zadania pytania o przyszłość podcastów czy treści na YouTube…Zapraszam do dyskusji! W odcinku:Co to jest VO2max?Dlaczego wynik Blummenfelta jest tak wyjątkowy?Czy jest on wiarygodny?Czy VO2max ma znaczenie i zastosowanie w treningu amatorskim?Źródła:1. Poradniki i opinie trenerskie dla amatorów• "Chcesz poprawić VO2Max? Może być to trudne. Skup się na czymś innym" (Blog Trenuj Bieg): Artykuł wyjaśniający, że VO2max jest w dużej mierze uwarunkowany genetycznie i trudny do znaczącej poprawy u dorosłych biegaczy. Autor sugeruje, aby amatorzy skupili się raczej na poprawie ekonomii biegu i progu mleczanowym, które są bardziej "sterowalne" treningiem.• "Pros & Cons of Performance Testing" (Lewis Fitness & Performance): Wpis na blogu trenera przygotowania motorycznego, który argumentuje przeciwko obsesyjnemu testowaniu amatorów (w tym testom VO2max). Autor uważa, że dla przeciętnego sportowca testy te rzadko wpływają na zmianę planu treningowego i mogą nie być motywujące. Sugeruje, że "testem powinien być sam sport".2. Wiadomości i dyskusje o rekordach (Przypadek Kristiana Blummenfelta)Zestaw źródeł omawiających głośny, nieoficjalny rekord świata w VO2max (101.1 ml/kg/min) ustanowiony przez triathlonistę Kristiana Blummenfelta:• TRI247 (News): Raportuje o wyniku 101.1 osiągniętym przez Blummenfelta, opisując go jako potencjalny nowy standard w sportach wytrzymałościowych.• VG (Norweska prasa): Artykuł przedstawiający sceptycyzm ekspertów (m.in. Jeroena Stewarta i prof. Josteina Halléna) wobec tego wyniku. Wskazują oni na możliwe błędy pomiarowe, np. niski współczynnik RER (0.93), który sugeruje, że test nie był maksymalnym wysiłkiem beztlenowym.• Wątki na Reddit (r/triathlon, r/AdvancedRunning): Dyskusje społeczności biegaczy i triathlonistów analizujące wynik Blummenfelta, kwestię dokładności sprzętu oraz sensowność porównywania wyników VO2max między różnymi dyscyplinami i laboratoriami.3. Publikacje naukowe i badawcze• "Is the VO2max that we measure really maximal?" (PMC): Artykuł naukowy kwestionujący, czy tradycyjne testy o rosnącej intensywności faktycznie mierzą prawdziwe maksimum. Badania sugerują, że protokoły "self-paced" (regulowane przez zawodnika) mogą dawać wyższe wyniki niż tradycyjne testy do odmowy.• "Interest in VO2max capacity: comparing Norwegian and Italian training" (Journal of Physical Education and Sport): Badanie porównawcze pokazujące różnice kulturowe w podejściu do treningu. Norwegowie (nawet amatorzy) przywiązują znacznie większą wagę do znajomości swojego VO2max niż Włosi, co może wynikać z popularności sportów wytrzymałościowych w Norwegii.4. Dane referencyjne• "VO2 max World Records" (Topend Sports): Baza danych listująca najwyższe historyczne wyniki VO2max (m.in. Oskara Svendsena, Bjørna Dæhlie).

OVERVIEWShould cyclists incorporate VO2 max work year round or focus VO2 max work on only select periods of the year? Coach Adam Pulford tackles this listener question in Episode 293 of "The Time-Crunched Cyclist Podcast". Key ideas include the fact that VO2 max is influenced by training at several different intensities, so you can work on VO2 max without always doing high-intensity intervals. When it comes to high-intensity intervals, Coach Adam provides guidance on scheduling workouts and rest days, provides examples of effective VO2 max interval workouts, and when it makes sense to adjust annual periodization plans to incorporate high intensity intervals at unconventional times of year. TOPICS COVEREDVO2 max is influenced by all training intensitiesWhy you shouldn't train VO2 max intensity all year longHow training intensities work togetherSample Zone 5, high intensity workoutsWhy you should do Zone 5 VO2 work at every two monthsOther ways to build VO2 max off the bikeASK A QUESTION FOR A FUTURE PODCASTHOSTAdam Pulford has been a CTS Coach for nearly two decades and holds a B.S. in Exercise Physiology.

In this episode, Matt sits down with Shannon Anderson, a 63-year-old executive recruiter who spent decades mistaking good looks for good health. Shannon's 46-year journey from eating disorders to true health is one of the most honest, inspiring conversations we've had on the podcast. Shannon grew up in the era of Jane Fonda and extreme dieting. She struggled with bulimia and anorexia for years, thinking she'd "invented" the perfect solution to looking good while eating whatever she wanted. It worked until it didn't. At 60, her body stopped performing. She couldn't lift a laundry detergent box without two hands. Her brain was slowing down. Despite going to the gym regularly, she wasn't making progress. That's when she discovered Optispan, and everything changed.0:00 - Matt Introduces Shannon Anderson2:19 - Shannon's Early Struggles: Bulimia, Anorexia, and Body Image9:34 - The Breaking Point: When Her Body Stopped Performing at 6013:42 - Matt and Shannon Discuss Pop Culture's Influence on Health19:01 - The Dark Side of "Wellness": Extreme Diets and Eating Disorders22:44 - Shannon's Wake-Up Call: "I Looked Like a Clown"26:09 - Matt Asks: Should Women Fear "Bulking Up"?31:24 - Shannon's Exact Workout Routine (3 Hours/Week)40:18 - How Shannon Found Her Trainer (Job Description Method)45:10 - Hormone Therapy: The Game-Changer Shannon Didn't Expect48:34 - Testosterone for Women: Muscle, Strength, and Sexual Health52:19 - Shannon on Brain Fog: "Your Brain Craves Estrogen"53:41 - Shannon's Nutrition Principles: Protein, Fiber, Whole Foods1:05:03 - How Shannon Discovered the Concept of Longevity1:09:22 - Biomarkers That Surprised Shannon: Prediabetic Despite Healthy Habits1:11:00 - Sleep Apnea Discovery: From 5 to 9 Hours of Sleep1:13:26 - Shannon's VO2 Max in the 90th Percentile—Without Doing Cardio1:17:22 - The 6-Month Slump: When Shannon's Biomarkers Crashed1:21:11 - Matt's Question: What's the First Step for Someone Starting Out?1:29:50 - Shannon's Final Message: "Health from the Inside Out"

Show NotesOn the Spotlight this week, we wrap up the Australian Open where dramatic semi finals saw Alcaraz overcome cramp (to Zverev's dismay), Djokovic overcome Sinner (to Ross' prediction dismay), and then Alcaraz overpower Djokovic to win a career Grand Slam. Elana Rybakina won the women's title, powered by a dominant serve and a few harsh, but helpful words from her coach.Then it's a concussion and head injury discussion, with a Spotlight on football and rugby. Should young children be tackling and heading a football? We explore those debates and discover that bans and delays don't play out quite the same way in the two sports, but that many unanswered questions remain. A recent paper by Ross and some colleagues finds that rugby players wearing headgear are more likely to suffer injuries than those not wearing headgear. An odd finding, but confounded by history and bias, as a lesson for how research limitations play out.And finally, does Karsten Blummenfelt really have a VO2max of 101 ml/kg/min? The Norwegian triathlete published that number earlier in the week, and it was met with skepticism bordering on ridicule. We discuss why the number isn't physiologically believable, what it means, and how errors in measurement might occur.Finally finally, if you enjoy the show and want to show your support, then become a Supporter with a small monthly donation, and you'll also get access to our Community Chat, and, as discussed in this show, upcoming Live Event Coverage.LinksThe Contact Conundrum: Are We Introducing Contact at the Correct Time in Youth Sports?Wearing Regulation Soft-Padded Headgear Does Not Reduce the Risk of Head Injuries in Professional Men's Rugby Players: An Observational Cohort StudyThe Spennymoor Heading Trial ArticleArticle on Bulmenfelts 101 VO2max Hosted on Acast.

VO₂ max training isn't about running harder, it's about running at the right speed or you're just wearing yourself down for nothing.If you've been doing “hard” interval sessions but still aren't getting faster in your 5K, 10K, or marathon, you might be missing the real point of VO₂ max training—and wasting effort. In this episode, I break down exactly what true VO₂ max pace feels and looks like, why most runners get it wrong (even when they think they're pushing hard), and how to dial in the right speed using free tools and recent race data—so your intervals finally deliver results without burning you out.Key TakeawaysTrue VO2 max training is about hitting a specific, fast pace, not just getting your heart rate into a certain zone. Using pace is the only way to guarantee you trigger the right adaptations.You must base your workout speeds on what you can run right now, not what you wish you could run. Using a goal pace that's too fast will ruin your workout and your progress.The magic happens in efforts under 5 minutes. Going longer lets lactic acid build up too much, which changes the entire purpose of the workout from improving VO2 max to just surviving.Timestamps[00:25] What You'll Learn[01:20] Vo2 Max Pace vs Vo2 Max Heart Rate[05:36] Use This to Improve Your Vo2 Max[06:22] How to Find Your Actual Vo2Max Pace[09:20] The Two Pacing Mistakes[11:09] Vo2 Max Myths Busted[13:40] Go Deeper on Vo2 Max with ThisLinks & Learnings

EP 676 Heart Rate, VO2 Max, and Hunt Readiness with MTNtough What’s up! This week on the Rich Outdoors Podcast, I’m sitting down with Jason and Nick from MTN Tough Fitness to talk about something we’ve been geeking out on for a while—health metrics, performance tracking, and what “hunt readiness” actually means for backcountry hunters. As we’re building the Bridger Watch (yeah, the smartwatch for hunters), we’ve been having deep conversations with the MTN Tough crew about what metrics actually matter when you’re training for elk season. Because here’s the thing: most fitness wearables are built for runners, cyclists, and gym rats—not for hunters humping 60 pounds on their back through deadfall at 9,000 feet. Nick is a MTN Tough coach and physical therapist who programs their daily workouts, and Jason is one of their athletes who’s joining the Bridger team. These guys know what it takes to train for the mountains, and more importantly, they understand the difference between sustained Zone 2 cardio and getting absolutely crushed by a 42-minute Mountain Tough workout that leaves you laying on the floor. We dive into what a “hunt readiness score” could look like, how to measure work capacity beyond just heart rate, why rucking strain is completely different than cardiovascular strain, and how we can use wearables to help hunters stay in that 80-90% efficiency zone all day long. We also talk about the mental side of fitness—how to make better decisions under fatigue, why discipline in the gym translates to discipline in the mountains, and what happens when you’re on day two of a hunt with frozen boots and a broken water filter. This episode is part fitness science, part backcountry hunting strategy, and part startup talk about building products that actually solve problems hunters face. Whether you’re training for September or just trying to figure out how to not get your butt kicked on your next western hunt, there’s a lot of good stuff in here. Let’s get into it. Tricer Tripods – They make gear that’s fast, light, and simple, from amazing tripods to bino mounts, panhead truck mounts, and now even bipods. Tricer makes gear that’s fast, light, and simple. I love their gear, and if you’re looking for a new system for better glassing, check out Tricer. Head over to the website tricer.com. They make great products and it’s just a great company. Awesome dudes. Been using the heck out of the bipod—killed a lot of critters with it. Use the code TRO and you’ll save yourself 10% at checkout. Stone Glacier – I’ve packed out a lot of animals with my Stone Glacier pack this year. The Sky Archer 6400 has been with me to Alaska, British Columbia, Wyoming, Montana, and I love the thing. Whether it’s a 10-day backpack hunt or you’re day hunting from the side-by-side, that’s what I love about Stone Glacier—it’s minimalist, it’s lightweight. You can use it day hunting or for an alpine backpack hunt. Stone Glacier makes an entire suite of hardcore mountain hunting gear. If you’re in the market, head over to stoneglacier.com. Use the code TRO and you’ll save yourself a discount and get some great gear. Chapter Timestamps 0:00 – Intro: Fresh Off a MTN Tough Workout 3:15 – Meet Nick: MTN Tough Coach & Physical Therapist 6:30 – Jason Joins Bridger: Startup Life with a Kid on the Way 9:00 – Why We’re Talking About Health Metrics for Hunters 12:45 – The Backcountry Boondoggle: Testing Fitness in the Field 16:30 – How Many Miles? Average Archery Season Days 19:45 – Have You Ever Bonked on a Hunt? 23:15 – The Hunt Readiness Score: What Would It Look Like? 27:30 – Heart Rate Efficiency & Staying in the 80-90% Zone 31:00 – VO2 Max vs. Work Capacity: What Really Matters? 35:15 – The Rucking Problem: Muscular + Neurological Strain 38:45 – Measuring Strength Load vs. Cardio Load 41:30 – Subjective Scores & Mental Toughness Training 44:15 – Decision Making Under Fatigue 47:00 – Discipline in the Gym = Discipline in the Mountains 50:30 – Baby #2, Hunt Plans & Balancing Family Life Three Key Takeaways Heart Rate Monitoring Can Keep You in Your Efficiency Zone All Day – Most hunters blow themselves out on day one by pushing too hard when camp isn’t where they thought, or the trail is longer than expected. A wearable that monitors your heart rate and keeps you in an 80-90% efficiency zone (based on your current fitness level) could be the difference between being smoked for three days versus being able to hunt hard every single day. It’s not about going slow—it’s about understanding what pace your body can sustain without bonking. Rucking Strain is Completely Different Than Cardiovascular Strain – Carrying 60-70 pounds on your back for 8 hours isn’t primarily a cardio challenge—it’s muscular, skeletal, and neurological strain. Most fitness wearables only measure cardiovascular load based on sustained heart rate, but they can’t quantify what it feels like to have weight on your frame all day. Building a “hunt readiness score” means figuring out how to measure both the cardio AND the strength components of backcountry hunting, which is why Mountain Tough’s blend of strength and conditioning is so effective. Mental Toughness is Trainable Through Exposure to Hard Situations – The more you put yourself in challenging situations—whether that’s finishing brutal workouts when you want to quit, or waking up to frozen boots and pushing through anyway—the more you build the self-awareness and discipline to make good decisions under fatigue. It’s not about never wanting to quit; it’s about recognizing that thought, acknowledging it’s normal, and then choosing to push through. The fitness side removes one major stressor, so when other factors pop up (weather, wind, gear failure), you’re not also dealing with being physically smoked.

Most people don't actually want to live to 90 or 100. Not because they don't love life—but because they're afraid of what those extra years might look like. Loss of independence. Chronic pain. Medications. Watching their world slowly shrink. When people say, "I don't want to live that long," what they're really saying is, "I don't want to live like that."   In the first episode of this new Year series, Ted reframes the entire conversation around aging. Instead of asking how long you'll live, he asks a more important question: How well will you live? Ted talks about healthspan—the years you remain strong, mobile, mentally sharp, and independent—and explains why it matters far more than lifespan alone.   He also breaks down why so much age-related decline is driven by lifestyle, not genetics, why modern healthcare focuses on crisis instead of prevention, and which core pillars actually determine how you age.   If you want 2026 to be the year you stop fearing the future and start building a body—and a life—that lasts, this is where the conversation begins. Listen now!    You'll learn:  How metabolic dysfunction silently accelerates aging  The role of muscle, strength, and power in maintaining independence  Why cardiovascular fitness and VO₂ max are strong predictors of longevity  How visceral fat drives inflammation and chronic disease  Why weight loss alone doesn't fix metabolic health    What Ted discusses in this episode:   (00:00) Introduction  (02:00) The Reality of Aging and Healthcare  (04:38) The Longevity Masterclass: Healthspan vs. Lifespan  (14:32) The Importance of Metabolic Health  (17:12) Muscle Strength and Power: Your Aging Insurance Policy  (18:36) Heart Aging and VO2 Max  (19:50) Brain Aging and Lifestyle Factors  (21:45) Series Overview and Conclusion
