IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -Cardiac adaptations to endurance training -How important and rate-limiting are cardiac adaptations for endurance performance? -Stroke volume, VO2max, and what type of training to do to improve them? -Transferring scientific knowledge into practical application -What Alex would have done differently in her career knowing what she knows now SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts375/ SCIENTIFIC TRIATHLON AND THAT TRIATHLON SHOW WEBPAGE: www.scientifictriathlon.com/podcast/ SPONSORS: FORM Smart Swim Goggles give you unprecedented real-time feedback in your swim training through a display on the goggle lens.
