Summary
We brought full hearts and clear nasal passages to this awesome episode! The main training topic was on the gargantuan Strava files of athletes preparing for the UTMB races. We zoom out to talk about multi-year growth, a study on speed and ultra performance, and the balance between long-term health and short-term performance. Health and ultra performance can go together like ketchup and everything! We also talked about how we apply the principles of double threshold workouts using uphill treadmills and cross training. Yes-way to Norway!
And this episode was jam-packed with some of our favorite discussions! Topics: our all-time favorite study on aging and performance, Olympic Trials thoughts after the announcement of a noon start time in Orlando, the Kauai 50 Miler and the inspiring boss Ryan Miller, a tutorial from Megan on the side-pee, a study on timing strength training for optimal adaptations, and hot takes.

| 0:05.7 | It's Tuesday. |
| 0:06.7 | And the energy is rolling over here on Tuesday, and I got oxygen coming through all my |
| 0:11.1 | organs. |
| 0:12.1 | It's great. |
| 0:13.1 | I've got a look right now, staring at me in the face. So, yes, there's the hoop earrings |
| 0:17.6 | that we talked about last week. There's the backwards hat we talked about last week. |
| 0:20.7 | You actually got a really cool necklace going on, but added to the equation is a big |
| 0:25.7 | tan, breath-right nose strip that honestly makes your nose look incredibly small. |
| 0:29.6 | This thing is just all the way to your cheeks. It's incredible. |
| 0:32.0 | I just keep adding on to my bit. Every week, it's something a little bit different. |
| 0:35.3 | The hoop earrings, backward hat. Okay, but I was feeling the nose strip. So, I had to go |
| 0:39.3 | into your stash to find it. You have this like secret stash of nose strips, because I've |
| 0:43.5 | never been on the nose strip game. But you know what? I saw Kashi and Niyo Yadama, the |
| 0:47.8 | Tour de France fans writer that we were talking about who's so freaking amazing, and she was |
| 0:51.4 | wearing one, and I was like, I'm in. |
| 0:53.0 | You've been influenced? |
| 0:54.0 | I've been thoroughly influenced, and not by you, because you've been wearing them for five |
| 0:57.9 | years. |
| 0:58.9 | I influenced you, but Kashi, I could, because it's helped me so much. I've told you constantly |
