The Endurance Athlete’s Guide to VO2max and Lactate Tests
Find out all the dos and don’ts of physiological testing as we break down VO2max and lactate/ramp testing.
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.
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.
Environmental physiologist Dr. Stephen Cheung addresses whether the amount of fat and carbohydrate used for energy changes with the temperature.
The concepts of central and peripheral conditioning help explain why an effective training base period leads to speed and durability in the race season.
Coach and endurance mountain bike champ Daniel Matheny helps us field questions on coaching junior athletes, how aerobic capacity is impacted by intensity, PVCs, and much more.
Coaches Trevor Connor and Ryan Kohler analyze ride data from one of Trevor’s LSD (long, slow distance) rides in order to explain the correct execution of one of these fundamental rides.
Q&A on FTP testing, structuring recovery weeks, and the sustainability of base training, with guest coach Steve Neal
Trevor and Chris field listener questions on importance of aerobic threshold, FTP, muscle soreness, and training in extreme cold.
