Episode notes

There are two kinds of high intensity training for endurance, sometimes called high intensity interval training. One is anarobic, so called anarobic endurance, so no oxygen. And the other is arobic endurance, both of which qualify as h i i t, high intensity intervalTraining. So what is this work? What ar sets look like? Remember, long, slow distance is one set. Muscular endurance is three to five sets. High intensity.

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.
