184. Omega 3 Supplements, Taylor Swift's Training, Strava Messages, and Taper Design!
Manage episode 389047877 series 2738763
We loaded up on some fish candy to bring you an awesome episode! The first study of the day blew our minds, showing that just a few weeks of high-dose Omega 3 supplementation reduced some markers of heart stress after steep downhill running. We used to think that Omega 3 pills were boring, and now we have 4 jars in the pantry. Talk about some sexy science!
We also talked about Taylor Swift's training plan, consisting of treadmill runs while singing her full set-list. The "Ultra Runner of the Year" voting has a new candidate, and this podcast title has better Search Engine Optimization.
And there were SO MANY other fun discussions! Topics: non-linear recovery after races, 2 books we loved, the elliptical as a magic tool for training, cross training in winter, a weird study showing reduced intestinal issues while wearing compression socks, our thoughts on Strava's new messaging feature, a study in Nature on narcissistic coaches, our evolving approach to taper design and how it may vary from research protocols, FKTs and Jade Belzberg's performance in Joshua Tree, Jim Walmsley's all-time historic run in the Grand Canyon, why you should do something big and scary, and hot takes.
The end of this episode has an exchange on cheese that you won't want to miss. You'll see. And you might not be able to unsee!
