Episode #169: Blood Chemistry and Performance

In this episode, I start with a recap of some blistering fast races this weekend at the Millrose Games, plus a few Oly Trials tune up races on the road for athletes like Galen Rupp and Amy Cragg. They are both among the favorites, but what do their races say about their fitness leading into Feb 29th?

Then, I turn to a conversation with Natalie Picchetti on what we can learn from blood chemistry that the standard ranges and guidelines may not tell you. 

Her story alone is fascinating, but you won't want to miss what she says about why the standard blood value ranges fail us especially as it relates to improving performance.
