What does RoI stand for?

Great episode and I'm the first to admit I get too hung up on the Ironman banner as you mention. Races are races regardless of distance. Nice reminder to keep supporting the local independent directors as well

Really useful discussion! Thanks.

Awesome podcast

“Dan the man!!” 💪

I'm your man. You've taught me all i know haven't missed a podcast does that count as certificates 😁 i took 2 juniors to the European cup in Ireland this year..

Extremely informative and easy to follow. Great interview. Thanks.

This guy isn’t convincing when it comes to articulating his processes and how they link specificity to actual racing. I believe his athletes have made him look good as opposed to the reverse. Not even in the same league as coaches like Brett Sutton or Joe Filliol. Anyone who talks about cycle training with one leg is full of sh1t.

Hi Mikael! Dan glazed over an answer which (I personally) would find really useful! With short vs long Vo2 etc efforts, should people play to their strengths, or work on their weaknesses, or is it an “it depends….” answer? I have trained strength for many years, strongman, powerlifting, (running) track sprinter etc and short efforts come easy to me. Peak wattbike sprint power is about 2200w, but ftp is 310-315w @ 93kg. Would I be better capitalising on short efforts, or working on the 2/3/4min efforts as they are a weakness? I can often repeat 30/30s multiple times a week and recover well, but 4x4min @ 110% ftp has me on the floor for a few days! Logic says to work both, along side z2 and ignore tempo, threshold etc until race season specificity is needed. Or, have I just answered my own question? Regards, Pete

It is a shame that mountaineering does not have an academic as interested in AMS as Dr. Millet is as interested in triathalon performance. The stakes with AMS are much bigger than a 3% increase in watts.

Can I ask for more information about Dr Thomas Hughes. I would like to see more details about his idea in running biomechanics.

Was the athlete training at around 60-65% of their 8min vVo2max pace/heartrate equivalent I wonder for their 80% / bulk of the 800-1000yrly hrs Alan? This would correlate nicely with a zone2 by heartrate reserve karvonen id say 😊.

This was great!

I meant inhale through the mouth.

How can one use nose breathing when doing front crawl. I am a nose breather after reading his book, but everyone is telling me to open and exhale in through mouth.

Great podcast

Great content! Missed a discussion around cleat choise, cleat position, shoe & cleat stack height and saddle height. Graeme Obree invented the egg position & the superman position. UCI banned them both. Chris Boardman used the superman position but should not be credited for inventing it by naming it Boardman's superman position. Obree was also first with a narrow Q factor for his bottom bracket which was the reason he built his frame from BMX and washing machine parts.

Incredible information. Thank you for putting this together!

Wonderful, Karlyn. Thanks VERY MUCH !!

outstanding thanks Mikael and of couse Scott. I think Scott is my favourite endurance coach.

I sure she’s a lovely women and a wonderful athlete… but if I have to listen? To that? accent? For one more? Minute? I’m going to cut my own ears off. Bailed only 25minutes in.

I’m not sure how responsible it is to cover the heat training without warning of the very real risks from this kind of training up to and including organ damage. There’s a reason your body tries so hard to cool itself down.

Great episode, really enjoyed this one

A gem

Video description is incorrect - it’s the description of the content of the previous video on the channel, not this one. This video is about carbon running shoes.

I think the focus of this and all similar interviews is wrong-headed. What training a pro does when they have s near-400w threshold is almost irrelevant to every one of us. It’s what training they did historically to *get* to 400w threshold, what their starting point was, how long the progress took them, and what delivered the most appreciable gains is the questions most would actually want to see answered

hi, great interview. i couldn't find the formula to calculate vo2max from a 5 min power. could share the link?

Wasn’t sure what to expect from this episode but honestly this is one of the most interesting interviews you’ve done lately - not least because it’s a guest that has done some great original research but hasn’t been on the usual-suspects podcast circuit so there’s fresh insights and minimal “concept fatigue”

Enjoyed that. Have to listen to it again to process it all. Thank you for that.

Such a delightful interview. It's interesting to listen to endurance athlete's strength coach and how humble one has to be even when it's one's time to shine during base season. In other sports that time is usually dedicated wholly on S&C and focus being on strength in particular and they take the lead at that point, or at least would want to. But with endurance athletes they still have to put in hours on endurance training and strength training remains in backseat in the grand picture and how one has to be humble about that. I think it's good for a strength coach to have endurance background for being able to keep this in mind, because otherwise they might feel overlooked and discarded (which is always a real threat).

Great interview! Very engaging and informative

The episode number happens to also be the collective IQ of this podcast. Weird.

This was awesome 👏

awesome. Listened to this podcast while eating breakfast before my first triathlon in a decade.

Great interview. Hard to listen though, when you talk you press your T’s out so loud it feels like it’s splitting time and space.

I dont think people realise how cheap a lactate meter is. I bought myself one, its cheaper than a cheap set of wheels with potential to take a lot more time off your race times. Sure the test strips cost a bit but dont waste money on gels for training and it can be offset.

Good lord, did this guest snort a line of coke before the interview? Prattling away at 100mph and rarely getting to the point

Great episode 👍
