The Science Behind Going Slow to Be Fast
The concepts of central and peripheral conditioning help explain why an effective training base period leads to speed and durability in the race season.
Humans aren’t machines—we’re much more complicated. Exercise physiology involves changes in the body from exercise and rest.
From anaerobic threshold to environmental acclimatization, from FTP to PGC-1 alpha, we explore the science of human performance.
The concepts of central and peripheral conditioning help explain why an effective training base period leads to speed and durability in the race season.
Find out all the dos and don’ts of physiological testing as we break down VO2max and lactate/ramp testing.
We explore the physiology of race season—how to find top-end fitness, how long it takes, and the best ways to do it.
Your lactate threshold may not be what you think it is. Coach Trevor Connor explores the true definition of this physiological turn point.
Find out all the dos and don’ts of physiological testing as we break down VO2max and lactate/ramp testing.
While VO2max is well studied, VLamax is a relatively new concept. Understanding the relationship between the two measures will help you better define your training.
We talk with exercise physiologist Jared Berg about the value of athlete physiology testing like VO2max and lactate testing at the University of Colorado Sports Medicine and Performance Center.
In episode 67 we talked with Sebastian Weber about the concepts of VO2max and VLamax. Now, we discuss how to balance the two systems.
