Episode notes

If you exercise regularly and you do long duration erobic work, your heart rate will start to go down. It will increase the stroke volume of your heart if you do this high intensity type training where your heart is beating very hard. So maybe the one to one ratio a mile run repeats that i described a minute ago, sl you do that twice a week for three or four and i said it could go allthe way up to twelvea sets, which is a lot. I don't recommend people start there.

This episode I discuss endurance: our ability to perform effort over extended amounts of time. I describe the four kinds of endurance: muscular endurance, long duration (single-set) efforts, and the two kinds of high intensity interval training (HIIT). I discuss efficiency of effort and maximizing quality of effort, and a hydration formula. I review how our heart literally gets stronger when we oxygenate muscles properly. I also discuss motivation for long bouts of work and the visual physiological basis of the "extra gear" we all can leverage for effort. Finally, I review how accelerating as we fatigue can allow us to access untapped energetic resources.
