Our guest today is Angus Nelson, co-founder of Stryd Power. He’s here to talk about something we all want: to get faster at running. As we get older, we want to train a bit differently and perhaps smarter. New technology such as Stryd Power can help us achieve that.

Angus begins by talking about how Stryd Power was created because of triathletes expressing that power is the best metric to quantify athletic performances. He then educates us about how exactly Stryd Power measures power when running.

We hear about the information that Stryd Power is able to provide, with Angus describing how to use this information and how it is all interrelated. He provides data that he got from his own race an example and explains why this device can help you improve your performance.

Joining us today is Steven Sashen of XERO Shoes. XERO Shoes are meant to let your foot move naturally, providing protection, support, and comfort, while giving the advantages of being barefoot.

Why would you want to be barefoot? There are some big advantages for training. Being in traditional, thick, padded shoes can really prevent you from being aware of issues with the way you run. The brain loses stimulation that it would otherwise have if the different parts of your foot weren’t just crammed into a thick shoe.

In fact, Debbie says she would like if people could run barefoot to be able to evaluate what’s going on. Since that’s not really practical, XERO has filled an important role.

In this episode we’ll talk all about natural running and minimalist shoes.

Metabolic efficiency is something we’ve been talking about for a long time, but now there’s a new way to measure it! The evolution of technology continues to help athletes understand themselves better and optimize training.

The PNOE Cardio Metabolic Analyzer allows athletes to measure their body’s true fuel consumption in real-life conditions, find optimal pace and training zones, measure muscle exhaustion, and much more.

The device is worn while training and offers insights previously unavailable to us. Today on the show, Debbie is joined by Panos from PNOE. He tells us the story of this very first breath analysis device, how it works, and how we can use it to train better.

A lot of us athletes go into an event thinking about how great they look and feel. Because of this, we can then get sucked into feeling the need to race again when we should be focused on recovery and repair.

Former triathlete, professional speedgolfer, author, and podcast host Brad Kearns joins today’s episode to talk about the recovery stage. Specifically, he is here to discuss recovery with cryotherapy. Brad even shares an experience in which he learned about the importance of recovery the hard way.

Brad has been participating in cryotherapy (often known as cold therapy) for the past few months and provides insight on his experience. He tells us how he first got involved in it and the internal physical processes that happen while doing his current regimen.

Today we sit down with Andy Beckman and Joe Lombardo from Garmin to figure out how to get the most out of our Garmin watches. Debbie notices that there are a lot of features on her Garmin watch that she doesn’t use because she doesn’t know what they do, and that’s why she was excited to invite them to this episode.

Andy and Joe describe what they do at Garmin and talk about their involvement with fitness that led them to where they are today, including the marathons that Joe has participated in.

We learn how a Garmin watch can let us know if we have recovered enough to work out again, and the guys go over many more features of their watches and other Garmin products that help us with the holistic approach to becoming the best athletes we can be.

One of the eight elements of the holistic method is nutrition. We always talk about things like digestion and nutrient absorption, but a lot of people don’t know how to cook or what’s good to eat.

To help with this, we welcome Cory Conklin in this episode who is a Keto cook and the founder of Select Savory Seasonings. He created this company to supply people with gourmet, fresh, sugar-free, and additive-free rubs and spices. Cory also started the website Creative Keto Cook to help show people live and eat Keto.

Cory’s draws from his specialization in Keto cooking and shares plenty of advice for any athlete who wants to eat better to meet their fitness goals.

Debbie has heard a little bit about pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy over the years, so she decided to speak with someone who can teach her and us about this subject.

Dr. William Pawluk practices holistic medicine in the Baltimore area because he loves to help people. Part of his passion is to keep finding new ways of helping, regardless of the medical paradigm. Many years ago, William realized that ibuprofen was overused and dangerous which led him to discover PEMF.

We hear about how PEMF can help athletes recover in between sessions and after long endurance races. William also provides real-life examples of athletes he has seen benefit from this type of therapy.

She is here to talk about mitochondrial dysfunction and how to improve the aging process while continuing to train and race.

One of Debbie’s favorite topics is how to slow the aging process. She is always trying to improve her knowledge on this topic so that she can prevent adrenal issues for herself and her listeners.

To learn more, Debbie welcomes back Dr. James L. Wilson for this episode. He is the founder of AdrenalFatigue.org, which aims to combat adrenal fatigue caused by stress. The adrenals are also very crucial to the proper functioning of the immune system.

James says that a common problem he sees with athletes is that they feel like if they don’t push themselves, then they are slackers and have let themselves down. The problem with this mindset is that rest is a very important part of a workout routine.

We learn about the importance the adrenals and how we can be sure to keep ours healthy to keep training optimally.
