In this episode, I explain practical applications for improving
your VO2 max and endurance in order to prevent disease, promote
longevity, and optimize overall health and performance. I also
explain the training fundamentals and methods to consider when
developing an endurance training program, such as general
conditioning, warm-ups/cool-downs, tissue tolerance and recovery,
injury prevention, and maximizing training time. I describe two
endurance training programs suitable for individuals of all
training levels: Metamorphosis, designed to improve VO2 max, and
Faster in 50, a fifty-day marathon training program. I explain the
specific methodologies of these programs, including the resistance
training and endurance training elements, building volume and
intensity (i.e., zones/"gears"), reps/sets, breathing, and how to
assess your progress at the end. This episode focuses on specific
programs and protocols for improving endurance that will help
listeners develop/follow their own program or help coaches and
trainers design programs for their athletes. Access the full show
