How to Optimize Endurance Training with an Evidence-Based Approach | #64 ft. Coach Laura Norris
In this episode of the Critical Oxygen Podcast, Coach Laura Norris and I discuss the translation of science into coaching, common pitfalls in research interpretation, and the application of research to coaching and training regimens. We cover topics such as tapering, cold contrast therapy for recovery, coaching philosophies, and the challenges of interpreting research for recreational athletes. Our conversation delves into the gender gap in exercise physiology research and the misconceptions surrounding marathon tapering based on published research. This conversation covers a wide range of topics related to training, tapering, recovery, and the use of technology in sports science. The discussion emphasizes the need for an evidence-based and individualized approach to training and recovery.

TAKEAWAYS
1) Learning how to translate scientific research into practical coaching and training applications is key to advanced coaching.
2) There are challenges when interpreting research for recreational athletes (does the research pertain to the individual you are coaching).
3) More research is needed with female participants to help understand differences in male and female physiology.
4) Tapering needs to be individualized based on athlete response.
5) It's important to maintain frequency and intensity during a disciplined taper for optimal performance.
6) Tapering involves a deliberate reduction in training volume while maintaining relative intensity to allow for recovery and optimal performance.
