| 0:19.0 | Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of That Traathlon Show, the podcast presented by Scientific Traathlon.com. |
| 0:28.4 | As always, I'm your host Michael, and on today's episode I interview Tim Kusik, who is a product lead of WKO4, which is a powerful, powerful software analytics platform that can |
| 0:42.4 | really give you some tremendous insights into your physiology, like not just going way beyond |
| 0:49.4 | what is your FTP, but actually giving you a complete picture of your V-O-2 max, your functional reserve capacity, |
| 0:58.1 | your max power, your threshold power, and all sorts of other things like your stamina. |
| 1:03.4 | How long can you hold a certain power after you have exerted yourself for a certain amount? |

| 2:24.2 | will be familiar with it at least on a like 10,000 feet overview level, what it can do. But I don't |
