We compressed our vocal cord zones before this great episode! The main topic was a discussion on new data on marathon fueling and training, focusing on NYC Marathon winner Andreas Almgren. It’s a brave new world for performance, with implications for how every athlete thinks about long-term growth.
And this one was full of amazing topics! Other topics: David’s full clearance to run after surgery, our updated thoughts on elliptical training, extremely high carb in the Ironman record, how we were wrong on the Olympic Trials marathon standards, a study and heat and humidity cross acclimation, wild science on how self-rated heat tolerance may influence response rates, the line between delusion and belief, the best training shoe of all time, and lots more.
We love you all! Cough cough cough! HUZZAH!
-David and Megan
