#635 Heart Rate Training, Metabolic Efficiency & Longevity with Sally Edwards

What if the way you've been training is actually working against your metabolism… especially in midlife? In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, I sit down with endurance pioneer and heart rate training expert Sally Edwards to break down how to truly train smarter—not harder—as you age. This conversation is a deep dive into what your body actually needs for performance, fat loss, and longevity… and why more intensity, more stress, and more "pushing through" may be the exact reason you feel stuck. We unpack the science and real-life application of heart rate training, metabolic efficiency, and how to build a body that performs better with less burnout. In This Episode, We Discuss: • What heart rate training really means—and why most people get it wrong • How to train for fat burning vs. sugar burning • Why Zone 2 is essential for mitochondrial health and longevity • The connection between endurance training, stress, and metabolic dysfunction • How midlife changes your response to training (and what to do about it) • Why more intensity is NOT the answer for fat loss or performance • How to build true metabolic flexibility Why This Matters for YOU: If you're feeling stuck… tired… plateaued… or like your body isn't responding the way it used to… This episode will help you understand why—and what to do instead. Because it's not about doing more. 👉 It's about training in alignment with your physiology. Ready to Take This Deeper?
