Episode notes

High intensity interval training of two kinds, anarobic and arobic. This last type works best if you can't do this one to one ratio. It will become very clear in that discussion why this type of training is very useful, even for non athletes. And the sorts of training i talked about today has been shown again and again and again to be very useful for enhancing the strength of the mind.

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.
