Summary

Professor Andy Jones is internationally recognized for his work in academia and applied sports science. He has authored more than 280 original research and review articles, worked with the two best marathoners in history (Eliud Kipchoge and Paula Radcliffe) and is perhaps best known for his pioneering work in the use of dietary nitrate (found in e.g. beetroot) and its impact on endurance performance. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -Nitrate loading: what are the benefits and what is the proper protocol for it? -Can nitrate loading be done with normal beetroot juice or beetroots, or are specific supplements preferable? -Will we see the 2-hour marathon milestone broken soon, and what advances in running should take place for it to happen? -Running and endurance performance in large part comes down to three parameters: aerobic capacity (VO2max), economy, and lactate threshold. How should we train to improve these parameters? -The Critical Power concept and how it stacks up to Maximum Lactate Steady State SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts187/ THAT TRIATHLON SHOW HOMEPAGE: www.thattriathlonshow.com SPONSORS: Precision Hydration - One-size doesn't fit all when it comes to hydration.

0:00.0	So it might be a direct effect on running economy or exercise efficiency,
0:05.9	or it might be an effect on blood flow,
0:07.8	or it might be an effect on muscle contractile function.
0:10.9	Whatever it is or some combination of the above seems to impact on their performance.
0:18.8	The Traitlam So, 187.
0:34.2	Hey, what's up, everybody, welcome back to another episode of That Triathlon show, the podcast
0:40.7	presented by Scientific Triathlon.com. I'm your host Michael, and on today's episode, I interview
0:46.8	Professor Andy Jones from the University of Exeter. He's a professor of applied physiology
0:53.1	at the Department of Sport and Health Sciences
0:55.5	and is internationally recognized for his work in a wide range of fields, most of which
1:01.5	are related to endurance sports science.
1:04.3	He has offered more than 280 original research and review papers, and he's the co-editor
1:09.5	of three different books. So in this interview,
1:12.9	we will discuss various aspects of performance physiology and endurance sports science. We discussed
1:18.8	the Breaking 2 project, as well as Andrew's work with Paula Radcliffe back in the day, when
1:24.3	she set the marathon world record that is still standing and we discuss of course
1:29.5	what he's most well known for i think at least recently which is nitrate and beetroot beetroot juice
1:36.4	and the effect that that has on endurance performance but before we get into that big thanks to
1:42.3	our sponsors precision hydration that you can find on Precisionhydration.com.
1:46.7	And I've actually scheduled with founder Andy Blow to set up a Q&A episode interview.
1:52.7	So we'll take a lot of hydration questions and answer them on the Q&A, like I do the first
1:58.0	Q&As, but this one will be with an expert on the topic of hydration
	...
