Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fasting, Heat and Do Endurance Athletes Have more Daughters?
Q: Should I have carb loaded before a 37-mile run at Zone 1 and Zone 2 effort?
It depends on whether you're trying to optimize your performance or just get the run done. Carbohydrate loading would optimize performance but may not be necessary for just completing the run.
Engineering a UTMB Win
Q: How comfortable are you with those estimates of predicting race finish order based on data?
While comfort with the estimates is high, especially for marathon-related predictions, the primary focus is ensuring the athlete finishes strong rather than exact finish times.
Engineering a UTMB Win
Q: What data do you collect to build the pacing plans? What goes into your pacing plans?
The method is personal to each athlete and requires optimizing performance in various sports. Data is collected from Strava, Kuro, Garmin, etc., focusing on individual parameters like age, lactate, and glucose levels. Additionally, foot data such as ground contact time and stride length are collected to analyze technicality and performance.
Mental Health vs Mental Resilience
Q: How do you start the conversation with someone struggling to contextualize their sport or performance?
Start with an honest assessment of who they are and build from their values and beliefs.
Mental Health vs Mental Resilience
Q: How do you stay on course when working on personal improvement and mental health?
It's about practicing the skills during calm times so they're available when needed in stressful times.
