Episode notes

The body is used to using multiple fuel sources. accelerating can actually allow you to tap into a new fuel source or combination of fuel sources, just based on the way the muscles use fuel. hydration is important for all forms of physical work and exercise, not just durance. Gastello woke up when i said fat fatting.

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.
