Thanks for tuning into this episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast with Zach Bitter.

All right, folks, welcome back to another episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast.

I'm your host, Zach Bitter, and today I have a guest interview episode for you.

So today's guest is Professor Paul Larson.

Professor Paul Larson is someone who I have been curious about getting on the show for quite

some time now. Actually, it was probably over two years ago at this point. I had Dr. Dan Ploos come

on the show and Dr. Dan Plouse is equally interesting to me for the similar

reasons. He has a performance lab in New Zealand and has just been really interesting to follow

when it comes to both endurance performance, performance testing, as well as applications for low carbohydrate

diet. And, you know, Dan has done everything from setting the age group world record at

the Kona Ironman World Championships to coaching some high caliber athletes. And before he started doing all that on his own, he and Paul Larson did a lot together,

a lot of research and a lot of content around endurance training, fueling and things like that.

So I wanted to get him on the show to share kind of what his insights are with the athletes he's

working with, what he's doing from a training standpoint, feeling standpoint, things like that,

and just try to wrap my head around, like, what he's up to and see if there's any nuggets in

there that I personally can use with, you know, my own low cover hydro approach. So hopefully

those of you who are listening who are both interested in endurance, as well as some of the nutritional aspect to it, will enjoy this one.

Just some of the background on Professor Paul Larson. He's an author, endurance coach,

high performance consultant, technologist, and entrepreneur. He's the co-founder and CEO of

Hit Science, co-founder and head of product for

Athletica, co-host of the Training Science podcast, former lead physiology for New Zealand

Olympic athletes and adjunct professor of exercise physiology at Auckland University of
