In this follow-up episode, I took some time to digest Martin's comments in Part 1, read more scientific literature, and use your questions and comments to expand on our first conversation.

There has been a lot of debate in the high intensity strength training (HIST) community about whether or not high intensity interval training is an important adjunct for optimising cardiovascular fitness and health span.

We discuss:

• How important is HIIT if you're already doing HIST?
• How long does it take for cardiovascular fitness to de-condition?
• How much can you improve your VO2 max and how much is genetic?
• An ideal template for overall fitness
• … and much, much more
