from Find Your Edge: Training, Sports Nutrition & Mindset Tools for Triathletes, Runners & High Achievers Chasing Performance & Longevity · host The Endurance Edge
In this episode, we introduce you to zone 2 training, since we've been getting the same questions from our clients who come to our exercise physiology lab, like "Am I training in the right zone?" Or, "what is my zone 2?"We offer some quick insights into VO2 and substrate use as well as lactate testing and how they are both integral to being able to create your zones, so you can train more effectively and efficiently. We clarify some terms and talk about muscle fibers and mitochondrial enzymes, because who doesn't love a bit of ninth-grade biology nostalgia with real-world applications? No guests this time, just me and a heap of expertise to guide you through understanding lactate measurements and physiological thresholds.
