If it’s Not Doping What is it?

1 % Better - Hidden Stories in Sport

In addition to answering a listener question about the impact of technology on sprinting, this week we discuss the use of theming in coaching. We also talk about the NYC marathon elite field, with many backing up from the Olympics and implications for this and we look at a paper quantifying the impact of steroid use. In response to requests we also discuss marathon training for Xylon in a little more depth.
