Fast Talk Podcast

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

Should we modify how, where, and when we train based on our potential exposure to pollutants?

Physiologist Lindsay Golich, who works with some of America’s best Olympic athletes, helps us field questions on heat, altitude, FTP testing, fasted training, and much more.

We bust myths about exercising in the heat and in cold weather. We are joined by Dr. Stephen Cheung, one of the world’s preeminent environmental physiologists.

We explore the physiological effects of training in the cold, from muscle damage to the increased caloric demands and how to stay warm.
