Q&A: Sprinting Tips and Tricks; Breakfast - Yes or No? Intuitive Training

Nov 26, 2024

01:03:42

In today’s Q&A show, we have an interesting mix between lengthy emails and quick quips on YouTube—and lots of sprinting commentary in this episode!

Other topics include: Is building an aerobic base necessary if you have minimal training time? How often should I sprint? Can AirDyne sprints replace running? How much rest should I take when sprinting? And when it comes to eating breakfast: yes or no? And should dogs eat a carnivore diet? What about Omega-3 salmon: yes or no? I also answer comments on restrictive dieting, respond to feedback from an appreciative listener about a John Gray show, and talk about being intuitive to avoid overtraining.

Thanks for your interest and please participate in the conversation by emailing podcast@bradventures.com or commenting on my YouTube videos!

TIMESTAMPS:

Jim asks about the conflicting advice from people about slowing down to establish your aerobic base. If you don’t have time to train you still must build your aerobic base. If you can’t carry on a conversation, you are breathing too hard. [01:53]

The human is only capable of maximum explosive energy for only up to around seven seconds. [13:12]

Luke wants to know how often he should be sprinting in order to avoid injury. This really has to do with how much rest you take. [19:27]

Zanado asks about riding the Airdyne bike as he tries to keep training after a bad accident. [23:43]

Michael is asking to clarify how much rest should be between sprints. When you want to sprint, keep it between 10 and 20 seconds. [26:54]

Donna from Kona asks “Breakfast or no breakfast?” One has to be careful adding fasting, which is stressful in itself, to one’s very stress everyday life. [29:49]

Bacon is not one of the nutritious meats that you need in your diet. Chicken and pork have a very low score in comparison to cattle raised in the open. [36:09]

Sophia wonders if the Airdyne bike is a good substitute for sprinting since she pulled her hamstring. [40:12]

Grandma Patriot wants to know the best way to get her puppy started on a carnivore diet. [43:58]

Regina asks “Can sprinting work for people with exercise intolerance where they crash after walking?” [49:42]

Dee Bradford commented on Brad’s video where he was talking about hematocrit. A very high hematocrit is a concern. [52:16]

Angela was concerned about Brad’s mention of eating wild caught salmon. What about the Omega 3s and Omega 6s? [53:23]

Another YouTube comment points out that if our ancestors had more food, they probably would have lived longer. [56:47]

Ian writes in the whole point of working out is to cause stress spikes to your system. [59:18]

Quill5 heard the show about relationships wisdom from Dr. John Gray, and Quill learned that if they are about to get angry, they just hold on and think about it and relax and then they’re able to respond instead of react. [59:47]

Chad comments that it is easy to get carried away with strategies that could be characterized as biohacking. [01:00:22]

James is commenting on overtraining. When he realizes that he has been overtraining, he loses his motivation to get out there and exercise. [01:02:05]
