Zone 2 is not about your pace Some runners misunderstand “Zone 2” and think they should run as fast as possible right at that conceptual threshold. That’s not how it works. Your pace at aerobic threshold is a good indicator of fitness, but it’s not the target in training. It’s

Although it is often claimed that muscle damage occurs during exercise, it actually mainly develops in the post-workout period. Here is another study showing the development of both fatigue and also markers of muscle damage gradually for 2-3 days post-exercise.

I told my group ride I was done buying cycling kit. They laughed. "Wait for the winter sales," they said. "You'll crack." That was January. I haven't bought a single jersey since. Here's why I reached breaking point. I counted my kit. 47 jerseys. 23 bibs. €3,000 spent last

The simplest way to improve your health and fitness: pick an aerobic activity, keep your heart rate around 100–130 bpm, and go for 1–2 hours. Anyone can do it. All it takes is time and maybe a bit more laundry. Once you build this habit, you become an endurance machine.

Are you lifting but neglecting movement work? DON’T. Here are 12 upper & lower movements you should do 1. Half kneeling pigeon rock 2. Half kneeling wall t-spine rotation 3. V sit-up 4. Half kneeling t spine to pec opener 5. Hand supported SL RDL to hip sweep 6. Seated t-spine

Let's be honest, athletes want to hear they are overtraining and are thrilled that aerobic work is removed from their program. It allows them to leave earlier, not work as hard, and this enables the coach to be the good cop, thus conditioning is discarded.

Failure promotes modestly superior hypertrophy results vs 2RIR, but both conditions increase muscle 3. Strength gains similar between failure vs 2RIR journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/abst…

Creatine - therapeutic applications beyond athletic performance Creatine, a well-established ergogenic aid in sports, is now being investigated for its potential therapeutic applications in various medical domains, including neuropsychiatric disorders, heart failure, etc.

My position on this topic is that the health benefits of physical activity just lie in improving fitness. To achieve this, we need a high volume, but also at an intensity relevant enough to stimulate.

Recently we published a comprehensive analysis of overtraining syndrome in athletes and recreational exercisers. Of the CPET variables, decreased VO2max, peak blood lactate and VO2@VT1&2 significantly predicted overtraining syndrome. researchgate.net/publication/39…

This is a big step but at the same time when I look at the final, it’s just the beginning! Proud coach!
