S8 E2_Training Zones
from Kathmandu Coast to Coast Hosted by Kathmandu Coast to Coast
We kick off the show with an essential training fundamental: a deep dive into exercise physiology. How hard should you be training and why for specific sessions over the course of your week and your build up to race day. To dial this in we need to have a good understanding of the training zones and how your body is creating energy to fuel our movement at each level. We break down Lactate Threshold and Zone 2 training, explaining how building your aerobic base and anaerobic threshold directly impacts performance and endurance on a course as demanding as the Coast to Coast. After the science, we catch up with Australian athlete Jarred Shein as he takes on New Zealand’s iconic Coast to Coast for the very first time. Jarred shares the raw reality of his preparation, the intensity of race day, and what it really took to navigate the river in a craft that could only be described as a "yellow submarine."
