Summary

Olli-Pekka Nuuttila is a doctoral researcher at the University of Jyväskylä. In this interview we discuss his recent study comparing two-week blocks of either increased volume (70% increase over baseline) or increased intensity (5 interval sessions per week), and how the findings can be applied in the real world. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -How does a two-week block of volume or intensity impact performance (3000m running time trial), subjective markers of recovery, and hormonal/biomarkers of recovery and stress? -The impact of adding a recovery week after a two-week focused block on volume or intensity -Individual variations in response and non-responders or trivial responses -When and how to incorporate volume blocks or intensity blocks in your training SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts327/ SCIENTIFIC TRIATHLON AND THAT TRIATHLON SHOW WEBPAGE: www.scientifictriathlon.com/podcast/ SPONSORS: Precision Fuel & Hydration - Optimise and individualise your fueling and hydration strategy using the free online Sweat Test and Quick Carb Calculator on precisionfuelandhydration.com.

0:17.7	Hey, what's up everybody, and welcome back to another episode of that triathlon show, the podcast
0:23.6	presented by Scientific Triathlon.com. I'm our host Michael and on today's episode, I interview
0:29.2	Olli Peca Notetula. Olipeka is a doctoral researcher at the University of Yvescula, and he has
0:35.1	recently published a very interesting study comparing using
0:38.7	block training meaning a two-week block of either increased volume increasing your volume by 70%
0:45.3	or baseline or increasing intensity to five interval sessions per week so we're really comparing
0:50.8	two extremes in terms of volume increase or intensity increase here but the findings
0:55.9	are really really interesting and we discuss them and how they can be applied in the real world but
1:01.8	before we get into that big thanks to our sponsors precision fuel and hydration precision fuel and
1:06.8	hydration have a range of tools and products to help you personalize your fueling and hydration
1:10.7	strategy so that you can perform at your best. Everyone sweats differently both in terms
1:15.2	of sweat rate but also sweat so sodium concentration. So hydration strategies should be
1:20.2	individualized accordingly and your fueling strategy will need to be adapted based on the duration
1:25.4	and the intensity of exercise or competition,
1:28.8	but also on your ability to tolerate certain amounts and types of fuel.
1:33.3	You can use the free online sweat test and the quick carp calculator on precisionfuelanideration.com
1:37.9	to understand your fluid, electrolyte and carbohydrate needs during training and racing,
1:42.4	and you can even book a free one-on-one video consultation
