0:00.0	So to sum up the hierarchy in order of most important to least important is one.
0:09.0	That Traflon Show 120. Hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to another episode of that triathlon show.
0:30.7	The podcast presented by Scientifictraathlon.com.
0:34.5	I'm your host, Michael, and today's episode is a solo episode where I'll talk about a great,
0:40.9	great article or presentation that I saw recently by one of the world's most eminent
0:47.2	endurance sports scientists, Stephen Seiler, who you've heard me talk about before and you've
0:52.7	heard my guests talk about him before on this podcast.
0:56.8	This presentation is called Silers' hierarchy of endurance training needs, and in it Stephen covers
1:04.0	the pyramid of endurance training, which consists of eight layers, where the big bottom layer

1:58.0	They teamed up with Dr. Dogg Lewis and Dr. Tamada Hugh Butler and published an article called
2:04.6	Considering Exercise Associated Hyponatremia as a Continium in the very prestigious British Medical Journal.
2:13.6	The big take-home message of the paper is that the high sweat sodium losses that some people see in exercise
2:21.1	are influential in the development of hyponatremia during exercise.
