Should you try to “hack” your physiology with hard intervals, Tabata workouts, and HIIT?
Should you mimic the training methods of famous athletes?
Or something else entirely?
In this episode, I chat with Dr. Stephen Seiler, an exercise physiologist renowned for his work studying and documenting the training practices of elite endurance athletes, including cross-country skiers, cyclists, rowers, swimmers, runners, skaters, and others, and for extracting the key principles from these training programs and adapting them for recreational athletes.
