What we must have to do is get hung upon the percentages.

It's a case of making sure that we have a blend of training and progression that starts

to improve the intensity and the volume that we do.

That's right from show, episode 80. Hey, what's up everybody, welcome back to another episode of That Triathlon Show, the podcast presented by Scientific Triathlon.com.

I'm your host, Michael, and on today's episode, I

interview Professor John Brewer, author of the books Run Smart, and Running Science, revealing

the science of peak performance. In the interview, we'll cover some of the most commonly

discussed topics in running, and what science has shown to be true about them and not true, including running form, the best way to train with volume and intensity distributions and so on, how weight and age affect running performance, recovery requirements after different types of runs and lots more.

But first, this episode is sponsored by precision hydration.

They offer electrolyte drinks in different strengths of sodium concentration because the amount

of sodium that you lose in endurance sports depends on two factors.

First, the total amount that you sweat. And second, the concentration of sodium within that sweat.

And just knowing one of the two isn't enough to make sure that you cover your sodium losses,

you really need to know both.

And especially in long events, this may cost you a lot of time if you don't.

One research study found that those athletes that adequately replaced sodium finished

26 minutes faster in a half-distance triathlon compared to those who didn't.

So to find out your sweat sodium or sorry, your sodium needs and your electrolyte needs,

go to precisionhydration.com and take their free sweat test

where you'll get a good estimate for your sweat amount and your sweat sodium concentration so that you have both of those pieces of the

puzzle covered and this will allow you to put together or actually you'll get from that sweat test

your personal hydration strategy and if you end up buying any precision hydration products
