  • The Most Important S&C Coaching Principles to Live By — With Jorge Carvajal & Paul Laursen

    ALL athletes are HUMANS and PEOPLE first 🥇 - TREAT them that way first and foremost!

    Jorge Carvajal would like you to understand that athletes have emotions, feelings, thoughts 🤗  and REAL LIFE problems outside of their sport too. They are NOT some sort of machine 🤖❌  that is without any substance behind their athleticism. 

    In the 84th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Jorge discuss:
    📊 how S&C is all about LOAD MANAGEMENT;

    🤕 that CONCUSSIONS are so much more than we think - we always miss the EMOTIONAL & TRAUMATIC issues;

    🔥 how to build a coaching practice around your LIFE!

  • The 5 NEW HIIT INSIGHTS That Could Change The Way You Train - with Dr. Rune Talsnes and Paul Laursen

    HIIT is not necessarily going to work for EVERYONE 🤯 - especially if you are already training quite a bit!

    Rune wants you to understand that a lot of HIIT studies and data points have lacked a “load” matched comparison; thus it is uncertain whether HIIT’s effects are down to simply “training with higher load” (or something, because often “total work” or time has been used for matching - but that ain’t enough!). It goes so far that it may be that some individuals might ONLY need a couple of WEEKS during their tapering phase to get enough high level HIIT in.

    In the 78th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Rune discuss:

    ⛷️ EVERYTHING that is current cutting-edge in cross-country skiing;

    🤔 How HIIT is unlikely to be the “be all and end all” workout type (Yes, we are STILL HIIT SCIENCE! 😂);

    😎 What to do with “underperformance” and/or overtraining?

  • CARBS, FATS, SALTS & BRAINS - with Professor Tim Noakes and Paul Laursen

    What is the MINIMAL amount of carbs 🍬 that you NEED for ENDURANCE?! WHAT IF taking >= 60g of carbs per hour COMPLETELY STOPS your liver GLUCOSE production 😱?

    Prof. Tim Noakes wants you to understand that for long endurance efforts you simply do NOT NEED❌ massive amounts of EXOGENOUS carbohydrates. There is a minimal amount of carbs that you need to continuously SUPPLEMENT every couple of hours to tell your BRAIN 🧠 that you are ok - otherwise, you got FAT!

    🧠 what the central governor theory is & how it applies in the field nowadays;

  • "Sometimes, When Training for Ultra Marathons, I Do Not Eat at All" - With Kilian Jornet and Paul Laursen

    Motivation comes from LOVING 💖TRAINING & PURSUING PROGRESS goals - rather than chasing placings, competitions or anything like that.

    Kilian Jornet wants you to understand that you need to be focused 🥰 on the PROCESS 🔁 itself, especially at the start of any lofty goal. At the beginning of anything physical you will make FAST PROGRESS. But after that, to stay consistent with training, you must MAINTAIN the love & fun for the process 😉. Continual tinkering and experimentation, and willingness to fail or find your limit, should all be part of it.

    In the 75th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Kilian discuss:

    🤗 how we must REMEMBER that inner FEELING is extremely important for ATHLETES to develop in themselves;

    ⛰️ in-depth the areas of UPHILL & DOWNHILL running;

    🧘🏼‍♂️ strength training, yoga & MORE for your running performance!
