Deena Kastor: How To Train The Mental Side Of Running (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There comes a point in a race where it stops being about fitness. Deena Kastor — Olympic marathon bronze medallist and American record holder for nineteen years — is unusually specific about what to do when that moment arrives. We cover where her mental training started under coach Joe Vigil, the hill where she changed the words in her own head, and the practices she kept for decades:a daily gratitude list, and building joy into the sessions she dreaded. She also explains what an easy run is sup
Why "Breathe More Oxygen" Is a Myth: Nasal Breathing, CO2 Tolerance & the Diaphragm | Zack Kramer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most runners assume nasal breathing works because it gets you more oxygen. It doesn't — and today's guest explains what's actually going on instead. Zack Kramer, a strength and conditioning coach who rebuilt his practice around breathwork after years in CrossFit, walks through the real mechanism behind nose vs. mouth breathing: it's not oxygen uptake, it's CO2 tolerance.We cover what functional breathing actually looks like day-to-day, why mouth breathing becomes a hidden habit for so many runne

It's one of the most persistent myths in sport — and it's wrong.In this episode I talk with Dr. Michael Lindinger, exercise physiologist and former professor at the University of Guelph, who spent decades studying what actually happens to lactate and acid in working muscle. We get into what lactate really is (a fuel your muscles, heart, and brain burn — not a waste product), where the burning sensation actually
How Much Protein Do Runners Actually Need? Dr. Jose Antonio (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dr. Jose Antonio, co-founder and CEO of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN), joins The Aerobic Edge to go through what the evidence actually says about protein, buffering supplements, and caffeine for endurance athletes.We cover why the protein-kidney myth persists despite years of contrary data, why most national protein guidelines are too low for anyone trying to race rather than just finish, and why sodium bicarbonate — historically avoided for its GI side effects — deserves
