That Triathlon Show Lactate and bioenergetics: quantifying and improving endurance performance with Shannon Grady | EP#190
Shannon Grady is the founder of GO! Athletics and an expert in the application of bioenergetics, lactate dynamics, and applied physiology for endurance performance optimization. Shannon has worked with over 9000 athletes including Olympic, professional, collegiate, and high school athletes in over 25 sports, and is herself a former professional runner, NCAA All-American, and five-time Team USA Triathlon with 4 Top-10 ITU World Championship finishes.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:
- The science of bioenergetics and lactate dynamics and how they relate to endurance performance and training
- The fallacy of traditional lactate testing
- A systems based training approach based on the individuals range of lactate concentration
- How many endurance athletes lack at least one system and are therefore bioenergetically limited and therefore compromising their endurance perfomance
- Training mistakes that lead to bioenergetic deficits and suboptimal performance and training adaptations
- Nutrition mistakes that lead to bioenergetic deficits and suboptimal performance and training adaptations
