Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Exercise Scientist: What Cannabis Really Does to Your Running Performance (THC vs CBD)
Q: What happens to sleep, resting heart rate, and HRV after cannabis use?
Cannabis-use nights were associated with longer but more fragmented sleep, less deep and REM sleep, and lower HRV. Resting heart rate was slightly lower in the wearable data, while laboratory studies also found reduced overnight HRV after THC.
Exercise Scientist: What Cannabis Really Does to Your Running Performance (THC vs CBD)
Q: What did the study reveal about THC and cycling time-trial performance?
Participants felt that they performed better after THC, but their measured performance in the 20-minute cycling time trial was reduced. CBD did not change performance compared with the control condition.
Run Elite Coach: Brutal Advice for A Sub-3 Hour Marathon After 40
Q: What role does goal-setting play in training intensity and timing?
Set a goal that lights you up and you believe you can achieve; avoid chasing overly ambitious targets that require constant peaking, and align training phases with the realistic lifestyle you want to maintain.
Run Elite Coach: Brutal Advice for A Sub-3 Hour Marathon After 40
Q: How should a midlife runner balance volume with neuromuscular work?
Increase volume and frequency to build endurance while also incorporating light speed work or strides to maintain neuromuscular fitness and running economy, avoiding injury by not overloading with hard workouts too early.
Run Elite Coach: Brutal Advice for A Sub-3 Hour Marathon After 40
Q: In a one-year training cycle, which phase should come first and why?
Base training should come first to build volume and foundation; then move into support and specific training to sharpen for the race, ensuring you have enough time to accumulate consistent mileage before adding intensity.
