Summary

We celebrated a week with minimal life drama (YAY) before recording this great episode! The main training topic was a new study monitoring response v. non-response. Imagine two similar athletes who are given the the same training program. One could have breakthroughs, and one could face physical disaster. Why? We use the study to talk about how we have seen athletes respond differently, and ways you might be able to understand your own unique physiology. Training theory is such a cool window into how every body is different!

We also talked about metrics we track! Almost every watch has a treasure trove of data if you know where to look. For David, that data helped guide a non-linear post-crash recovery. For Megan, it helped reveal an unexpected pregnancy. For you, it could help you move through the uncertainty of things like response v. non-response with more confidence. Plus, we all love fancy graphs!

And this one was full of fun topics! Other topics: new bike day, a mystery about a signature, why we might want to remain skeptical about AI, 3 shoes we are reviewing, a new study on running economy variance and fatigue resistance in trained v. untrained runners, how combining strength training approaches may be helpful (with possible neuromuscular rationales), a new track league that promises to do everything differently, how questionnaire response rate may influence study outcomes, mixing creatine and caffeine and sodium bicarbonate, and uninformed horse thoughts.

Stick around to the very end for a special Easter Egg from the editing process. We love you all! HUZZAH!

0:00.0	We are who. Welcome to the Some Work All Play Podcast. We are so happy with you today.
0:04.7	Happy Tuesday. It's Tuesday. And high-five David, we did it. That is our fourth practice
0:09.9	intro and I couldn't stop laughing across all of them. I don't know what's going on.
0:13.2	Uncontrollable laughter coming from you, which made it come from me. Not sure what's going on.
0:17.2	Did you have a really funny intro plan? No, actually it wasn't that good. My intro was the fact that it's going to be a good day because I hit
0:24.4	like multiple shots on our little Tikes basketball hoop from long-range and I was feeling myself.
0:28.7	But then we started a podcast recording and I just couldn't stop laughing for no reason. I was like happy Tuesday and
0:34.3	couldn't even get out Tuesday. I was laughing so hard. And then I was participating?
0:38.0	Is it something on me? Is it my shoes? My shoes are very colorful right now. Maybe you were laughing at those.
0:42.6	No, you do look quite good.
0:43.9	They do look like, actually, they're kind of like sexy clown shoes.
0:46.4	I like them.
0:47.4	But I don't know, it was like laughs emanating deep within my soul.
0:50.6	And I think it's the hormones, like some women cry during pregnancy and I just have like
0:54.0	uncontrollable laughter and I can't help it. Yeah the tears are coming.
0:57.2	Yes that's fair I've had I've definitely when I was pregnant with Leo that happened.
1:00.8	One of the most interesting things about pregnancy I found is that your brain has kind of prevented
1:05.6	you from remembering anything.
1:07.1	Like it makes sense that you don't remember labor that much, but you don't remember literally anything.
1:11.8	I'm having to give you reminders of how you felt at each stage.
1:14.6	You're like, David, I feel really good right now. Is that okay? I'm like, yeah, Megan, you're really early in the process.
1:20.2	A lot of women don't even know at this stage. And you felt good a lot of the time, even when you had a heart condition in the first pregnancy.
