  • Great podcast

    I really enjoy the scientific data behind a lot of the episodes of this podcast. I also enjoy the episodes where Brady and Thomas just blitz topics rapid fire discussing whether they’re worth me spending time exploring more throughly or if they’re more fad or pseudoscience type of topics. I always learn something new listening.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bringing the Cycling Data Revolution to Running: Wahoo on Data, Speed & the Future of Indoor Running
Q: How do you approach turning complex data into actionable insights for runners, rather than just collecting more numbers?
The focus is on personalized trends over time, converting metrics like ground contact time and vertical oscillation into a narrative of an individual runner's trajectory and recovery, rather than population-wide norms; this enables tailored training decisions.
Bringing the Cycling Data Revolution to Running: Wahoo on Data, Speed & the Future of Indoor Running
Q: What are the biggest data points now becoming available for runners, and what might runners be missing before this shift?
Runners are gaining access to higher-fidelity metrics like ground contact time, vertical oscillation, cadence and more accurate GPS-based metrics, but historically data quality, especially GPS elevation, limited meaningful insights; improving data fidelity enables better normalization and personalized metrics such as great adjusted pace.
Bringing the Cycling Data Revolution to Running: Wahoo on Data, Speed & the Future of Indoor Running
Q: Within Wahoo, where did the idea originate to go from cycling to starting to build a treadmill?
Chip Hawkins envisioned a treadmill that addressed the poor feel and limitations of existing models, leading to a ground-up R&D effort to create a treadmill that feels like outdoor running and can support true fast intervals.
Why Runners Get Stomach Problems (And How to Fix It): Dr Marc Bubbs
Q: How should athletes approach fueling during long runs to minimize GI distress?
Carefully titrate carbohydrate intake, start with lower amounts (e.g., 60 g/h) and gradually increase as tolerated, use 15-20 minute fueling blocks rather than a single large bolus, and experiment with different carbohydrate sources.
Why Runners Get Stomach Problems (And How to Fix It): Dr Marc Bubbs
Q: What should runners do first if they experience GI symptoms during training?
Start by detective work: track meals, timing, and symptoms, begin with morning meals, reduce fermentable foods (FODMAPs), and gradually reintroduce to identify culprits.
