In this episode of the Critical Oxygen Podcast, Aaron Geiser from EndureIQ and I discuss the technology we use for training and how it informs our workouts. We emphasize the importance of rotating shoes to stimulate different muscles and prevent overuse injuries. We also discuss the use of heart rate monitors, core body temperature monitors, and NIRS devices like Moxy Monitor to gauge effort levels and make adjustments during workouts. The goal is to optimize training and avoid overcooking the body. We cover how we use technology such as heart rate monitors, power meters, core temperature monitors, and the Moxy monitor. We also emphasize the importance of measuring and tracking data to make informed decisions about training. The conversation concludes with a reminder to use technology in a way that works for each individual and to avoid becoming overwhelmed by data. TAKEAWAYS - Rotating shoes can stimulate different muscles and prevent overuse injuries. - Heart rate monitors, power meters, core temperature sensors and NIRS devices are valuable tools for monitoring internal stress and performance. - The Moxy monitor provides insights into muscle oxygenation and can be used to dictate warm-up and exercise intensities.
