Professor Grégoire Millet is one of the world's foremost researchers in the field of altitude training and hypoxic training. He combines his academic prowess with a background as an elite triathlete and coach, and is therefore in a perfect position to not just do the science, but actually apply it in the real world. In this episode, we discuss all things altitude training, plus general training principles from a few of the world's best athletes that prof. Millet has worked with and published data from.  

 

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:

-What happens physiologically when training at altitude or in hypoxic conditions

-The potential performance gains from altitude training, and how everybody can be a responder

-How to structure altitude training to maximise the performance benefits 

-New(ish) paradigms in altitude training: Live high-train low and high, and Repeated Sprint training in Hypoxia (RSH)

-Living at altitude year round

-Altitude champers and tents

-Dissecting the performances of Martin Fourcade (the most successful biathlete of the last decade, and the most successful French Olympian of all time) and Kilian Jornet (mountaineer, trail and mountain runner, summited Mount Everest twice in a week without supplemental oxygen)

Mark Burnley, PhD, is an exercise physiologist at the University of Kent. Mark's main research interests include oxygen uptake (VO2) kinetics, where an important application is how to optimally use warm-ups, as well as Critical Power, which forms the transition point (or transition area) between the heavy and severe exercise domains. Because of the non-steady-state nature of exercising above CP, it has significant importance in a large number of training and racing applications.  

 

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:

-VO2 kinetics - what does it mean? 

-The fast and slow components oxygen uptake

-Heavy priming exercise and its effects on VO2 kinetics (or the importance of a good, specific warm-up)

-Critical Power (CP) - what is it and how does it compare to other "threshold concepts"

-How to assess CP and use it in training

-How fatigue develops differently in the different exercise intensity domains (moderate, heavy, severe) and interventions to minimise fatigue

Glycogen metabolism and optimising glycogen resynthesis with Bob Murray, PhD | EP#252

Bob Murray, PhD, did his doctorate in exercise physiology at the Ohio State University and then became a university professor. He later left academia to work in applied sports science, including 23 years as director of the world famous Gatorade Sports Science Institute, and is now an independent consultant helping businesses in the sports and fitness industry understand and leverage state of the art sports science. Recently, Dr. Murray published a review article on glycogen metabolism and resynthesis in the Nutrition Reviews journal, which is the topic of today's interview. 

 

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:

-When and how is glycogen (the stored form of carbohydrate in the body) used at rest and during exercise (glycogen metabolism 101)

-What is the relation between glycogen and performance?

-What is the relation between glycogen and training adaptations?

-How much glycogen do we store, and how quickly do these stores get depleted during training and racing? 

-When and why is fast and complete glycogen resynthesis important for athletes? 

-How can we influence glycogen resynthesis rates through diet, types and amount of carbohydrate replenishment, protein co-ingestion, nutrient timing etc.?

-For what level of athletes is fast glycogen resynthesis important? 

-The positive and negative effects and consequences of deliberately or unknowingly delaying glycogen resynthesis

Q&A #104 - Walking as an alternative to low-intensity running (pros and cons); What training is recommended to when one has a poor anaerobic threshold relative to VO2max?
  • Can walking be used instead of low-intensity runs with similar effect, if heart rate is sufficiently elevated by walking? 
  • Possible reasons for a high heart rate even when running easy, and why heart rate isn't everything
  • If your VO2max is high but your threshold power/pace is poor relative to this VO2max, what sort of training is recommended? 
  • Possible reasons for poor threshold relative to VO2max, and generally, limited performance capacity at submaximal intensities?

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:

-Different measures of training load and how they stack up in scientific research

-Pros and cons of using Training Stress Score (TSS), Lucia's TRIMP (heart rate based measure), and session-RPE to quantify training load

-Comparing the training characteristics of male and female professional cyclists

-Training Intensity Distribution

-The types of moderate and high intensity training used by professional cyclists

-The use of different cadences in training

-Advice to amateur cyclists and triathletes for improving cycling performance
