This week's episode is jam-packed with happiness and fun! The main training topic was on 2 workouts that could have outsized benefits for lactate clearance and performance at every distance. The first workout is SO HOT right now: double thresholds, popularized by Norwegian training systems. The second is not quite as hot, but no less fun: post-interval moderate running. These sessions are on the cutting-edge of training theory, mixing a little bit of science with a solid serving of magic! We also talked about the importance of understanding your blood work. Yes, David finally got a blood test, and he deserves at least 3 to 5 lollipops. The results were fascinating and weird, demonstrating why it's so key to take a peek under the hood to understand your physiology.  And that's just the start! Other topics: the Black Canyon 100k and shooting your shots, the universal relevance of heat adaptation and hydration, informed supplementation, mental health and loving your ghosts, a business case study on Strava's handling of a recent crisis, a follow-up to the relationship episode, and much more. We also talked about our new favorite book "Good For A Girl," and how it can transform your approach to athletics. Like Lauren Fleshman, let's value GUTS more than the win.
