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.
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.
Ryan and Trevor field questions on max heart rate, TSS, recovery in athletes who only train 8-10 hours per week, protein consumption during ultra-endurance events, and more.
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.
