Listen Later

In this solo episode, it's all about STRESS! Poor, misunderstood stress. Did you know that stress is actually a good thing, in the proper doses? Did you know how important the recovery from a stressor is? Do you know WHY chronically elevated cortisol is so dangerous?

  • What IS stress?
  • Chronic vs acute stress
  • Stress & the stress response
  • Allostatic load, and allostasis vs homeostasis
  • Your lazy brain
  • CORTISOL (when it's good, when it's bad, and the relationship between running, cortisol, and weight management)
  • Considering and quantifying training load/training stress
  • Cumulative fatigue, overreaching, and overtraining
