Summary

Shannon Grady is the founder of GO! Athletics and an expert in the application of bioenergetics, lactate dynamics, and applied physiology for endurance performance optimization. Shannon has worked with over 9000 athletes including Olympic, professional, collegiate, and high school athletes in over 25 sports, and is herself a former professional runner, NCAA All-American, and five-time Team USA Triathlon with 4 Top-10 ITU World Championship finishes. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: The science of bioenergetics and lactate dynamics and how they relate to endurance performance and training The fallacy of traditional lactate testing A systems based training approach based on the individuals range of lactate concentration How many endurance athletes lack at least one system and are therefore bioenergetically limited and therefore compromising their endurance perfomance Training mistakes that lead to bioenergetic deficits and suboptimal performance and training adaptations Nutrition mistakes that lead to bioenergetic deficits and suboptimal performance and training adaptations SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts190/ THAT TRIATHLON SHOW HOMEPAGE: www.thattriathlonshow.com SPONSORS: Precision Hydration - One-size doesn't fit all when it comes to hydration.

0:00.0	And that kind of gets into energy and metabolism a little bit more.
0:05.9	Essentially, if you have two systems and you only have the two low-end aerobic systems available,
0:12.1	you're limiting your substrate ability and what I refer to as metabolic adaptability.
0:20.0	That trap on show, 190.
0:35.6	Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of That Triathlon Show.
0:41.6	The podcast presented by Scientific Traathlon.com.
0:45.4	I'm your host Michael and on today's episode I interview Shannon Grady.
0:50.0	And boy oh boy, this is one of those episodes that, at least for me personally,
1:00.6	goes down the history books of the podcast as one of those that really taught me a lot of things that I did not know before doing the interview.
1:04.0	So who is Shannon?
1:05.3	Well, she is the founder of Go Athletics and an expert in the application of bioenergetics and lactate dynamics.
1:12.8	And she has worked with thousands of athletes from collegiate and high school level all the way up to Olympic level in, I think she said, 25 different sports, if I recall correctly.
1:24.6	She's herself a former professional runner, an NCAA All-American runner, and a five-time
1:29.9	Team USA Triathlon member with four top ten finishes at ITU World Championships. So this is an
1:37.9	exciting interview that we have coming up on bioenergetics, lactate dynamics, and how they
1:42.4	affect human performance. And it's's pretty long so I won't
1:45.8	waste your time with an intro let's just thank our sponsors first we have precision hydration
1:50.8	and by the time of recording this intro I just interviewed andy below and that episode is the
1:56.5	hydration Q&A I've been talking about it will be out in episode 192 in two weeks' time, so stay tuned for that.
2:03.8	Perhaps if you want to warm up for it and refresh your memory on hydration and electrolytes,
2:07.8	you can go and have a listen to my first interview with Andy back in episode 49,
2:12.2	which is still as relevant today as it was back then quite a long time ago.
