ANECDOTE

Zwift Race Heartbreak

David's Zwift race ended abruptly due to a power outage during the final sprint.
This led to significant frustration, highlighting how much effort he puts into virtual races.

ADVICE

Training Hot Takes

Avoid nighttime urination for better sleep, even if it's difficult at first.
Skip showering between double workouts; the hardest part of exercise is starting dirty, according to David.

INSIGHT

Embracing Disagreement

Megan reflects on disagreeing with past podcast statements, suggesting she doesn't challenge herself enough.
She contrasts this with Caris Wisher's philosophy: "I don't need you to like me; I need people who love me to like me."

We vibed with a new playlist (Taylor's version) before this great episode! The main training topic was a new study on fatigue resistance, which used a novel protocol for testing durability involving different levels of intensity. "Durability" research may be the most exciting part of modern performance science, and we broaden it out with real-world examples. We finish with our 4 big tips!

You already know tip one. Yes, it involves eating. And yes, we are in the pocket of BIG CARB.

We also talked about how uphill treadmill workouts can be used by athletes of all levels. That includes details on pace and grade to get started, plus fun training wrinkles where athletes can do double workouts or use them right after runs for a fatigue resistance stimulus. Somehow, no one has sent us a better treadmill after ours keeps breaking. So we are not in the pocket of BIG TREADMILL. But we want to be.

And save your appetite for a feast of our favorite topics! Other topics: our love of the running shoe store, Megan's love of the Eras Tour movie, takeaways from Megan's first intentional double workout, how to respond to excess fatigue, the importance of occasionally crying on the couch, our visit to The Feed headquarters, an update on real-world findings with post-exercise ketones, two astonishingly controversial takes on night pees and post-workout showers, wrecking Freetrail Fantasy at the Chuckanut 50k, a weird study on vibration and intervals, athletes as storytellers, Nico Young's NCAA record at The Ten meet, a Lance quote on competition that we strongly disagree with, and a beautiful reflection on love (plus nature's jockstrap).

Stick around for the most motivating Listener Corner. What do shooters do? They [deleted] shoot. You can fill in that blank space after listening.
