Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Joe Warne on Whether Sports Science is Broken
Q: What is the central finding of your replication project and why does it matter for athletes and coaches?
The project found a low replication rate—about 28%—which suggests that many claimed effects in sports science may not be reliable. This matters for practitioners who base training decisions on published findings, underscoring the need for more robust methods, preregistration, transparency, and replication before strong guidance is given.
Improving Ultra Marathon Performance through Metabolic Flexibility with Marco Altini
Q: How should athletes think about diet when aiming for metabolic flexibility?
Diet should be periodized rather than strictly low- or high-carb; athletes should not exclude macros but rather adjust the timing and amount of carbs, fats, and proteins based on training load and race demands to optimize fat oxidation without sacrificing performance.
Improving Ultra Marathon Performance through Metabolic Flexibility with Marco Altini
Q: What is metabolic flexibility?
Metabolic flexibility is the ability of the body's metabolism to respond in the best possible way to the demands of the task, using fat when endurance requires it and glycogen when high-intensity work is needed, thereby shifting fuel sources to match activity.
