Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Manage Training Load and Hybrid Training | #93 ft. Dr. Alyssa Olenick
Q: What is hybrid training and how does it differ from just running with strength training?
Hybrid training is when athletes intentionally try to refine and maximize two components of training, such as strength and endurance, simultaneously. In contrast, concurrent training typically refers to using strength as a tool to complement running performance without caring for strength as a primary outcome.
How to Fuel and Hydrate your Training and Racing | #20 ft. Lexi Kelson RD, M.Sc.
Q: What's like what's the process like? And how do you help guide somebody to your version of a proper fueling hydration plan?
We focus on three big components: carbohydrates, fluid, and sodium. First, we assess their baseline for each, looking at their current intake and sweat rate.
Breathing Better for Endurance Performance | #23 ft. Luke Way and Dr. Andrew Sellars
Q: How would we identify if somebody actually is respiratory limited?
By looking at how their respiratory muscles perform during stress tests like the 515 assessment or spirometry tests.
Will AI and NIRS Redefine Endurance Training?! | #50 ft. Dr. Robert A. Jacobs
Q: What are AI's limitations in the context of endurance training?
AI's effectiveness is limited by the quality of inputs; incorrect assumptions can lead to poor recommendations.
Will AI and NIRS Redefine Endurance Training?! | #50 ft. Dr. Robert A. Jacobs
Q: How do people look to capitalize on AI and these large language models now?
Companies like TriDot are using AI to create personalized training plans based on extensive user data, integrating factors like intensity and volume for optimal race readiness.
