    In the 74th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Greg discuss:

    🙌 how to build LONG-LASTING relationships in high performance sports;

    📈 all the BENEFITS to PERFORMANCE OUTSIDE of training;

  • Everything You Need to Know on Ketone Science & Supplementation - With Dr. Chiel Poffé and Paul Laursen

    KETONES cannot be simply used FOR EVERYTHING 🤦🏻‍♀️! Even though there is more and more science emerging, it is still in its infancy - but there are some CORE FUNCTIONS and BENEFITS!

    Dr Chiel Poffé wants you to know that it is probably best to use it for RECOVERY (after exercise!), and before sleep, so that you enhance ADAPTATIONS from training.

    In the 73rd episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Chiel discuss:

    ⚛ ALL about KETONE BODIES, exogenous KETONES, KETONE ESTERS - ALL OF IT!; 

    💤 do KETONE ESTERS influence performance, recovery & SLEEP!;

    🚦 maybe there are more COMPLEX mechanisms around AMPK, hypoxia and more!

  • Strength or Not to Strength? Load or Not to Load? Monitor or Not to Monitor? A Worldwide Football Master Class - With Dr Darren Burgess and Martin Buchheit

    We all “love” 😍 STRENGTH & gym training 🏋🏻 to a certain degree - but that does not mean that you CANNOT develop SPEED & STRENGTH without it!

    Dr Darren Burgess want you to understand that WHOLE sport CULTURES ⚽ 🏀 🏈 have been developed over decades without having very much strength or speed specific training AT ALL. Many footballers in Europe for example barely do any gym work. Obviously that does not mean it is useless, but it is important to understand that apparently you can get good at the sport WITHOUT it.

    In the 72nd episode of The Training Science Podcast, Martin and Darren discuss how:

    🏛️ various sports “cultures” can be a downside or upside if you are a multidisciplinary professional;

    🏋️ player specific loads are important, but you need to remember ALL the other types of load a player (and staff too!) experience - it is a whole wellbeing model;

    🕛 chronic load for adaption, rehab or simply helping players to improve needs to be balanced and maintained for certain durations, but without “peaks” and “valleys”.

  • SUPERshoes, Breathing, Training Methods, CGMs, HRV & More of the Newest Magic Solutions?! - With Alex Hutchinson and Paul Laursen

    You can do A LOT by pure FEEL and PERCEPTION - including deciding on your shoe! So much so that even top level biomechanists like Dr. Benno Nigg recommend it. There is no one FIT FOR ALL solution; even the new SUPERSHOES could be BAD for you!

    Alex Hutchinson wants you to understand that there is value to both: rational, measured and all numbers, as well as the subjective, perceived and feeling based conclusions. Make good use of both and try to avoid your own BIAS and NOISE as much as possible!

    In the 71st episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Alex discuss how:

    👨‍🏫 having a “neutral” perspective in exercise and sports can be useful;

    🔮 supershoes, power meters, breathing methods, psychology and so MUCH MORE;

    📐 Norwegian method vs polarized vs everything else?!;

  • Everything About Strength & Power Training Does Not Need to Come Down to Gym! - With Dr Matt Jordan and Paul Laursen

    If you think FANCY new methods, tools or TECH 🛠️ will be immediately a good start when working with NEW athletes, you are dead wrong ❌!

    Dr Matt Jordan wants you to understand that you ALWAYS have to FIRST build that trust by mainly focusing on listening. Try to learn about the HUMAN sitting in front of you, and LISTEN 👂. There is a reason they are as good as they are!

    In the 70th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Matt discuss how:

    👨‍🏫 strength and power characteristics translate or DON’T translate into useful application in sports;

    🔮 different PEOPLE means DIFFERENT athletes; some are RIPPED and powerful, while others are not, but have outrageous skill;

    📐 A LOT about ACL injuries and what you can and cannot really do about them - in Paul’s case that the strength on the injured leg MIGHT NOT be the problem.

  • Be Active to Building & Nurturing Relationships, Leaderships & Your Own State of Conscious and Unconscious Mind - With Xavier Al Haddad and Martin Buchheit

    Work on HAVING ACTIVE EMPATHY for every human you deal with every day! Try to realize what feelings they are currently having, so that you can better voice them, and adjust for what you NEED from that person!

    Xavier Al Haddad wants you to understand that BEING EMOTIONALLY SMART is all about trying to care about what ELSE people have going on in their life, and HOW it may AFFECT them in their work.

  • A Fully Detailed, Useful & Grounded View on Fat for Endurance, Performance & Health - With Dr Andrew Koutnik and Paul Laursen

    Ketones are still EXTREMELY young 🐣 in what we KNOW about them in the human body - yet, they are showing some CRAZY potential 💥 for certain populations or situations.

    Dr Andrew Koutnik wants you to understand that certain studies have shown that for some people (including top level athletes) high FAT 🥑 and ketone based diets may be USEFUL. That does not mean that they are a magic cure for everything (especially for endurance performance) - yeah, it is complex 😉

    In the 68th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Andrew discuss

    ⚡ the uprising of FAT as a central metabolite and ESSENTIAL part of our DIETS, especially if you are an ENDURANCE athlete and/or DIABETIC !

    🍬 how you COULD have EXTREMELY high GLUCOSE levels even as an ATHLETE; and WHAT you can DO about it,

    📐 the DETAILS on KETONES, CHOLESTEROL changes, and so much more in regards to FAT based diets!

  • How Football Needs Principles Rather Than Rules in Their Performance System - With Andreas Beck and Martin Buchheit

    👨‍👦‍👦 how to work with ALL TEAMS that surround each player,

  • Medical, Science & Hands-on Staff All Matter Now More Than Ever - With Dr Ian Beasley and Martin Buchheit

    Yes, player availability IS IMPORTANT in professional football ⚽ - although it might appear differently, they cannot keep going around buying players every time someone cannot play!

    Ian Beasley wants you to understand that you are likely NOT the most impactful individual for how fit, healthy and available each player is. Yet, you are part of a highly professional and trained group of people 👨‍👦‍👦 who ALL have their say in that regard - remember that!

    In the 67th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Martin and Ian discuss

    👨‍⚕ how to manage the responsibilities of a MEDICAL expert in a high pressure, high performance and HIGH EGO field; 

    🎯 putting the player at the CENTRE of their medical & performance care AND including EVERYONE you can think of with them;

    📐 implementing prehab and return to play “benchmarks”, as well as individual adaptations depending on situation and player.

  • You Can Be Fast & Fit at Any Age & for Any Performance, Just Make Sure You Have Patience - With Bas Van Hooren and Paul Laursen

    TRUE CONSISTENCY is when you pretty much TRAIN EVERY DAY to some degree for YEARS!

    Bas Van Hooren wants you to know that you don’t have to have CRAZY high volume, nor CONTINUOUS implementation of super advanced HIIT session, but simply consistently training without missing any long periods is worth much more than crazy “blocks” or overcomplicated periodisation!

    In the 65th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Bas discuss

    ✨ how volume AND intensity AND spreading both across various sessions (MAYBE even CYCLING FOR RUNNERS!) is essential for performance longevity,

    🤖 what and how some up-and-coming wearables might be able to PREDICT injury risk (especially in running),

    📌 how age group champion runners perform, and how they got there!
