The Physiology of Endurance Running Podcast
1 Favorite
This podcast is all about getting sport science research out into the public domain. We cover what we do and don't know regarding all topics related to endurance running performance and, more importantly, how can we use this information to make ourselves healthier and faster runners! Your host is Dan Nash, PhD researcher at Cardiff Metropolitan University and exercise physiologist for Welsh Athletics and Welsh Triathlon. Dan is also an accomplished runner in his own right, with a marathon best of 2hrs 15 minutes and the current British record holder over 50km.

Threshold Training: Is it worth the hype?
3/12/2023
Threshold training has come to prominence in recent years, primarily through the success of the Ingebrigtsens. In this episode, I discuss what threshold training actually entails, why it might be a useful intensity to train at, and what are the limitations with threshold training. A lot of the dicussion is centred around a recent review that discusses why "The Norwegian Model" of training may be the next step in the evolution of training practices. This article can be found here:...

The physiological model of endurance running performance
2/27/2023
Yes, we are finally back! In this episode, we delve into the physiological model of endurance running performance. We discuss the determinants of VO2max, metabolic thresholds and running economy. We cover additional parameters that are important in the middle-distance events and distances beyond the marathon. Lastly, we discuss the relative importance of the physiological parameters across the different events and how we might determine what is limiting our performance. If you would like to...
