Summary

We collected some wonderful questions before this great episode! It's our classic "no secrets" style, where we take you behind the scenes to combine research and theory with what athletes are actually doing, but maybe not talking about.

We started with a new study on maintaining heat acclimation, which helps answer questions on how to improve blood volume year-round in a sustainable way. Then it was onto the questions!

Topics of the questions: sodium bicarbonate and ketone use, the difference between big dreams and excessively big dreams, speed development for long races, our possibly-surprising take on speed versus volume, how bicarb supplementation changes sodium intake, our experience with topical bicarb lotions, preventing cramping, why hill strides may feel harder than flat strides (and how that's connected to their value), the recovery cost of strides, our approach to self-massage for recovery, the potential benefits of hot yoga, and more!

We love... the 2005 movie "Hitch" starring Will Smith and Kevin James. And we love you all! HUZZAH!

0:11.0	What are you talking about?
0:12.0	It comes from the fact that we put up our Christmas tree last night.
0:14.0	And it was a celebration.
0:16.0	And as we were putting up our Christmas tree, I realized that our Christmas tree has pretty good energy
0:20.0	availability.
0:24.5	Okay, energy availability referring to the food ornaments we have.
0:28.6	Yes, about 40 to 50 percent of the ornaments on our tree are food related.
0:28.9	Yeah.
0:32.7	We got a whole ketchup thing. We got chicken nuggets. We got cinnamon toast crunch. And I'm like,
0:37.6	this tree's ready for an ultramarathon. There's a cheeseburger on there. Did we buy these or did someone give them to us?
0:42.5	I think we've been given basically all of our ornaments and people kind of get us. They get our existence. That's a sign that we're really seen in the world. Like 97% of the topics we talk about
0:48.3	here sometimes seem like they're food related because that's so important for athletes and
0:53.5	how they adapt and
