Heart rate variability (HRV) is the variation between consecutive heartbeats and is an indirect way to measure how stress is impacting the autonomic nervous system.Resting heart rate and HRV are the most important parameters to track in HRV, and changes in these values can provide insights into stress levels and recovery.Absolute values of HRV are not as informative as relative changes over time, and it is important to understand an individual's normal range.Technology has made it easier to measure HRV, but it is important to use the data in the right context and not get too obsessed with numbers.The future of HRV technology may involve measuring other physiological markers, such as hormones, to gain a better understanding of stress and performance.Emotional states can impact an athlete's performance, and it is important to consider the mental and emotional aspects in addition to physiological data.TRANSCRIPT:

Whether we're dealing with injury, niggles, lack of motivation or simply trying to find space in our lives for the running training required to improve - most of us at some point in our lives have struggled with training consistently. In today's one-to-one coaching call, I speak to an athlete of mine on how we've created consistency in his training over the last 7-months.
This week's episode features a coaching call with Relaxed Running Athlete, Mark McCallum. Mark was a 1500m runner as a teenager but stepped away after a few years to focus on a 30+ Year career as an Air Force Pilot. Since Mark and I have started working together we've made some significant changes to the way we approach his training which has led to some really promising break throughs in his running performance.

Low heart rate running has gained popularity in recent years, emphasizing the importance of health and aerobic fitness in endurance sports.Nutrition plays a significant role in both health and performance, and prioritizing fat as a fuel source can lead to improved energy levels and reduced inflammation.Slow running and aerobic training can lead to significant improvements in performance, as the aerobic system is the primary energy source for endurance activities.Transitioning to a fat-fueled diet requires patience and a gradual reduction in carbohydrate intake, allowing the body to adapt and become a more efficient fat burner.Building a strong aerobic base through slow running and proper nutrition is essential for long-term success in endurance sports. Discipline is a crucial aspect of training and involves monitoring your body and being true to its needs.Becoming obsessed with a sport can lead to injuries and burnout, so it's important to use our brains and practice discipline.Emotions play a role in performance, but it's essential to balance them with rational thought.Finding creativity in the morning can be a productive time for brainstorming and generating ideas.

Fri, 30 Jun 2023 - 189 - #188 - The Secrets Behind Kenyan Running Domination with Author Sarah Gearhart
On this week's podcast, I'm joined by Sarah Gearhart, an accomplished writer and marathon runner who has completed 14 marathons. Her work as a sports journalist has been featured in esteemed publications like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, ESPN, Runner's World, and many others. Sarah's latest book, titled "We Share the Sun: The Incredible Journey of Kenya's Legendary Running Coach Patrick Sang and the Fastest Runners on Earth," showcases her expertise in the field.
The focus of Sarah's book is Patrick Sang, the renowned coach behind Eliud Kipchoge, widely recognized as the world's top marathon runner. However, what sets Sang apart is the holistic approach he takes with all his runners, including Kipchoge. Sarah's firsthand experience at Sang's Kaptagat training camp provided her with a unique understanding of this tight-knit community, which remains largely unknown and misunderstood by the general public. Nevertheless, it sets a remarkable example that all runners can draw inspiration from.During our conversation, Sarah and I explore various topics related to her book, "We Share the Sun," including:
The reason why Patrick Sang is often referred to as a life coach rather than just a running coach.How the culture fostered by Sang contributes to the success of his athletes.The immersive experiences of Sang's runners and how these contribute to their unparalleled achievements.How Sarah's perspective on running has transformed since her time spent in Kenya.
What motivated her to write about Patrick Sang and the athletes under his guidance.Buy Sarah's Book

Thu, 06 Apr 2023 - 178 - #177 - Keith Mueller | Improving Endurance with Strength and Mobility
About Keith - In His Own Words:
An Ohio native, and the son of a teacher. I have no pedigree or resume as a competitive athlete. Yet, I’ve learned how to be a person through covering ground on foot or two wheels, tinkering in the gym, and being coached by people who paid attention and told me the truth.
After an undergraduate degree, I’ve eschewed classic education and broad-but-shallow certifications in favor of the experience and ideas my internal compass points me towards. As a young coach I served group class moms, assisted a 5x state champion cross country team, built long-term personal training relationships, advised weekend warrior runners, and supported those in pain who were trying to reclaim their physicality. When I discovered someone I could learn from, I’ve hired them, traveled to them, or consumed every piece of published writing I could. In 2021 my wife and I relocated to Boulder, CO. A point on the map that’s drawn endurance athletes for decades. Higher Ground Athletics is an idea that I can’t escape; That training for endurance sport has yet to fully arrive at a holistic understanding that will result in the shortest, straightest path to an athlete’s potential. My work is the pursuit of that idea.
