Picking up the momentum from the previous show, Brad and Andrew continue to debate the healthiest way to be a competitive athlete, especially as you deal with aging in the background. Topics include comprehensive health assessments like Brad's NourishBalanceThrive.com journey or that offered as part of Andrew's The Athletes Potential coaching services (andrewmacnaughton.com). Another important philosophical question: how much stress should you apply to training? We know that sprinting and high intensity interval training generate rapid performance improvements, but they also come with a high stress cost. It's important to optimize the stress/rest balance, and some good ideas are served up. Enjoy! Send your questions/comments to info@primalendurance.fit.

What does it mean: "adaptation phase"? [00:04:55]

You usually cannot duplicate your big top performance because of stress. [00:07:15]

Do we make too much of the intricacies of the preparations before the race? [00:09:51]

How much do genetics come in to play for the training athlete? [00:12:25]
