Reconstructing an Ancient Gait

A triathlete's journey to success relies on a simple yet unorthodox method: training at a specific heart rate ceiling.

Coaches have repeated the mantra of a tempo run being 20 minutes of steady running at threshold pace, but does this tempo pace actually hit the physiological line it claims to hit?

A Norwegian coaching system relies on a lactate meter to measure athletes' effort, claiming it produces faster results than traditional hard training by running just below the point of excessive lactate buildup.

Voor haar nieuwste boek Door de barrière sprak hardloper en wetenschapsjournalist Mariska van Sprundel met Roy Hoornweg. Hoornweg deed in 2022 een gooi naar het wereldrecord marathonlopen op de loopband. Van Sprundel sprak met hem over motivatie en doorzettingsvermogen.

To increase understanding in development of running injuries, the biomechanical load over time should be studied. Ground reaction force (GRF) is an important parameter for biomechanical analyses and i...

A runner walks into Jack Daniels' lab expecting a treadmill test, but instead receives a two- or three-digit number pulled from a race result. This is the key to understanding Daniels' training paces and why VDOT is not the same as VO2max.

A Norwegian method defines success by a precise blood lactate reading, and its benefits have spread across the endurance world.

Caffeine combined with beetroot juice significantly improves both initial and repeated 1000-meter running performance in non-athlete men. Body fat percentage, sleep duration, and nutrition emerge as k...

Here is a possible 1-2 sentence episode description under 280 characters: Daniels digs deep into the history of VDOT, tracing its roots back to early physiologists like A.V. Hill and Rodolfo Margaria, who laid the foundation for measuring oxygen intake and efficiency in runners. From lab tests to

Dr. Nick Tiller brings his UltraRunning Magazine column, "Ask the Physiologist" to the podcast with host Scotty Sandow. Answering questions from our readers. Dr. Tiller gets to the heart of ultrarunni...
