Rune Kjøsen Talsnes, PhD | EP#427

Rune Kjøsen Talsnes, PhD, is a postdoctoral fellow at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. In this interview, we discuss overtraining, training progression and periodisation, and some general topics within endurance training and in particular, insights from the world of cross-country skiing. 

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:

-Overtraining and non-functional overreaching: definitions and diagnosis

-Prevention strategies and monitoring for overtraining and non-functional overreaching

-Research on increasing training load via intensity and volume, and implications for short and medium-term performance and physiological markers

-Training insights from the world of cross-country skiing

-Listener questions

...and more
