59 minutes

GET READY FOR THE SCIENCE! Dr. Jason Karp, PhD, MBA (@DrJasonKarp) joins the podcast this week for a fascinating and in-depth discussion on the physiology of what happens at different training intensities, how to think about the application and distribution of volume vs training intensity, what "80/20 running" really means, what limits us from fulfilling our full athletic potential, and more!⁠

⁠Rethinking how to build your base as a new runner⁠

How to tell if you're built for distance or built for speed

What's happening at a metabolic and energy systems level at different intensities?⁠

What "80/20 running" really means and how and when it applies⁠

The inverse relationship between volume and intensity⁠

What we can do to make ourselves the best runners we can be (spoiler alert: it's PATIENCE)⁠

Dr. Jason Karp is the founder and CEO of the women’s-specialty run coaching company, Kyniska Running. A competitive runner since sixth grade, Jason quickly learned how running molds us into better, more deeply conscious people, just as the miles and interval workouts mold us into faster, more enduring runners. This passion Jason found as a kid placed him on a yellow brick road that he still follows as a coach, exercise physiologist, bestselling author of 12 books and 400+ articles, and speaker. He is the 2011 IDEA Personal Trainer of the Year and two-time recipient of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition Community Leadership award. His REVO₂LUTION RUNNING™ certification has been obtained by coaches and fitness professionals in 25 countries.
