Summary

Learn how to balance the seemingly disparate goals of endurance competition and the obligation to perform brief, intense workouts for total fitness. Yes, everything will make sense as you strategize your particular goals, but be sure to do it right!

We get a little sciency talking about muscle fiber types but you will be pleased to learn about the high potential for trainability based on your athletic goals. We talk about heart rate spiking after abruptly ceasing exercise. Finally, avid listener James Hall asks Brad what he would do differently as a pro triathlete 25 years ago, if he were armed with today's knowledge about training and nutrition. Brad's #1 answer is relevant to all of us: Follow a kinder, gentler training schedule. Learn about why you shouldn't get sore after workouts, and how backing off a bit in general will allow for continued progress without interruption from breakdown, burnout, illness, and injury that is so distressingly common among fitness enthusiasts of all levels.

0:21.8	Hey, primalized listeners.
0:25.1	It's time to get wise as we cover some very insightful Q&A sent to headquarters info at primal blueprintpublishing.com. See what's up. We want to hear from you. And we will
0:42.8	talk through this on a future Q&A show. We're here to help. We have a great team of
0:48.4	passionate, interested people trying to live primally in a hectic high stress modern world full of distractions, hyperconnectivity,
0:58.0	and all kinds of momentum against healthy ancestral-inspired living. So let's do the best we can,
1:03.9	right? Have fun while we're at it and covering some questions today. The first one is from
1:10.1	Kevlin. And he says, Doug McGuff, my main man,
1:14.0	Doug McGuff, author of Body by Science, co-author of Primal Prescription, and a great resource
1:20.2	for advanced fitness goals, as well as blending his experience as a physician in mainstream medicine. He's an emergency room doctor
1:30.3	in South Carolina, and he knows what real people are doing every day to get healthy and then
1:36.2	to not be healthy. So I love listening to him. You can look for some shows. He's been on the
1:41.7	podcast before. But Kevlin mentions how Doug McGuff was
1:47.8	recommending the primal endurance program to him. And it seems there is some contrasting information
1:54.1	between Primal Endurance and Doug's book, Body, by Science, that I appreciate help clarifying.
1:59.2	Doug recommends working out and doing high
2:01.4	intensity once per week. Primal Endurance recommends high intensity workouts only after an aerobic period.
2:09.0	I guess the difference is Doug's book is mostly for strength training. Primal Endurance
