In this summary episode we discuss how homeostasis is at the core of almost every function in our bodies, including how we train and stay healthy.
The author of The Time-Crunched Cyclist joins Fast Talk to discuss the science, merits, and limitations of the time-crunched training method.
In this potluck we discuss what to do when you’re struggling to hang on to a wheel, what the overall goal of training should be, and how to handle needing to poop during a long running 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.
All-star guests like Dr. Stephen Seiler, Frank Overton, and Sonya Looney share their favorite cycling workouts and how they fit into different training styles.
We dive into blood flow restriction, anti-aging supplements, post-activation potentiation, and the potential fringe training benefits you may never have even heard of.
We discuss an eclectic group of odd, challenging, and humorous training topics in this week’s Potluck.
Welcome to another potluck conversation with regulars Grant Holicky, Trevor Connor, and Rob Pickels. In these discussions, we pick topics that we find interesting and break them apart using a mix of science, humor, and our own experience. This week’s potluck is a special episode because joining us is Dr. Stephen Seiler. He’s going to discuss […]
We dive into the work of Dr. John Hawley – he has produced many seminal studies and papers in exercise science since the 1990s. Today, we wilk look at a few of his key papers on carbohydrates and how we adapt.
We discuss a host of odd, interesting, and humorous training topics in this week’s show.
What is pain—and how can we learn to tolerate it in training and racing? We find out on our latest Fast Talk podcast where we’re joined by neuroscientist Dr. Scott Frey.
