334. Running Form and Fatigue Resistance, Bombshell Doping News, Lactate Gel Experimenting, and How Sweat Rate Changes Over Time!

We got in trouble at the gym before this great episode! The main topic was a new study tying deteriorating fatigue resistance to increased duty factor (ground contact time). Essentially, the longer the foot stays on the ground after a couple hours of work, the worse the fatigue resistance. That points toward neuromuscular interventions that could improve endurance.

And this one was full of awesome topics! Other topics: lactate gel experimentation, the major doping bust in road marathoning, menthol gels, our issues with high-carb drink mixes in ultras, how sweat rate varies across an event, a study on deception methods improving performance, steady running the day after long runs, shaving your legs, Strava etiquette, the problems with MAF training, and a big discussion of why we look to training approaches that work for pro female athletes to derive some training theory.

Welcome to the best episode! Oh, actually that’s supposed to say “vest” episode. We regret the error.

We love you all! HUZZAH!
