Just my own 2 cents for the optimal running volume question. VO2 max one of the 4 biggest determining factors for success in endurance sports. Cardiac output accounts for 60-80% of VO2 max (I can’t remember the exact figure), but it’s the largest component. You can do a variety of different exercises to improve your cardiac output & then just to top it off with the running for local adaptations. Obviously running will be the gold standard for improving running, but not everyone can hack the mileage. Using incline work is also a very effective way for increasing your volume without the excess damage
Great podcast! It sounds simply his nervous system was fried. Sure he’ll come back next year. Wild to think my goal in the open is his in the pro (plus 10 min 😂)
Great interview, Hunter. I like going to and island and lock my phone in the safe. I check it twice a day for no more than 20 minutes. Whatsapp and that's it. Definitely no news! Sooo sweet!
