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.
Polarized training is most successful when your body is ready for high-intensity sessions. Understanding how your autonomic nervous system works can help you time it right.
In collaboration with Dr. Stephen Seiler, the “father of polarized training,” we have curated everything you need to know about the 80/20 training method.
Dr. Stephen Seiler answers five endurance training questions on heart rate, zones, polarized training, rest, and much more.
In this Q&A episode, guest Grant Holicky discusses sweat rate, polarized training for cyclocross, VLamax, and recovery tools.
This Q&A episode we’ll answer questions about diet, the value of short easy rides, sub-threshold work in a polarized training model, and inflammation.
