We discuss what adventure athletes need as well as how to support emerging outdoor sports hubs with Expedition Detroit founder, Dan Cooke. 

“VO2max intervals” is a term used to describe an enormous range of work. We talk with coach Neal Henderson about why they are not all made the same and how best to build that critical race fitness.

Trying to go pro is one of the hardest things we can do. Jack Burke and Taylor Warren share what they’ve learned so far, and, surprisingly, what they’ve gleaned may apply to the rest of us, too.

For this week’s potluck, we discuss what athletes lose when they don’t have a coach, Grant gets on his soapbox about running and pace, and then asks about training specifically for one event.

The number of, well, numbers we track during training is exploding, but they’re not all made equal. Some represent actual measurements while others are just estimates. We discuss the implications.

We talk with Examine.com writer Brady Holmer about how diet, exercise, and sleep all impact one another and ultimately play a key role in our health and performance.

Fast Talk’s first live recording took place at USAT’s 2024 Endurance Exchange, where we spoke with two top coaches who are helping to build Team USA’s Olympic hopefuls.

In our second Basics episode, we talk about how oxygen travels from the air around us to our working muscles, covering everything from the lungs, blood, and heart, to how our working muscles grab that oxygen.

In this week’s potluck, we discuss our favorite ways to approach training in January, practical weight management tips after the holidays, and what to consider when trying a new endurance sport.

For our 300th episode, our hosts – both old and new – are interviewed by Dr. Stephen Seiler to discuss where we’ve been and where we’re going.

In the very early days of Fast Talk, our hosts summarized – in only 20 minutes – how to map out your training week. In today’s episode we revisit that summary to see just how good a job we did back then.

We are constantly inhaling particulate matter—not just from pollution, but from smoke, candles, and even cleaning chemicals. How does it impact our health?

In the early days of interval training research, it was hard not to come across the name of Dr. Véronique Billat who shaped much of our current understanding of interval training.

Block Periodization is one of the most sophisticated periodization models that’s producing big results for pros. But that doesn’t mean it’s right for everyone. Is it right for you?

Let’s go back to a 2018 interview with this year’s Vuelta a España winner, Sepp Kuss, and hear about his jump to World Tour.
