Episode notes

Aschally gets right down to the heart of motivation and fuel use, motivation and fuel allocation. We are going to talk about specific training protocals that you can follow that have carry over between the bodily systems of running, swimming,. et cetera, and the way that your brain works. As we go forward into this, i want to acknowledge doctor andy galpin, who, as with the last episode, as been tremendously helpful and informative in terms of the exercise physiology. Is a true expert.

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.
