Do You Really Need Zone 2? HIIT, Heat & Smarter Endurance
|
In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with sport scientist and performance coach Jonah Rosner, founder of Marathon Science. Does everyone really need two to three hours of Zone 2 each week? Sport scientist Jonah Rosner joins Dr. Mike T Nelson to explore when higher-intensity work makes sense, how to separate cardiovascular stress from tissue stress, and what heat training and blood flow restriction may add to an endurance plan. We also dig into sprint progression, heat acclimation, blood flow restriction, and why heart rate alone does not tell the whole training story. We distinguish research findings from experimental ideas and personal observations.

And according to the nutrition police, eating any of that candy after 7 PM means your body will immediately ship those calories straight to your belly fat. Booooo! Apparently, your metabolism turns into a pumpkin at night, and anything you eat after...
Hola from South Padre Island and Happy Halloween, where your favorite nerd is attempting to get his sleep schedule back on track after four days of driving, questionable amounts of caffeine, and enough windshield time to qualify as a professional trucker. And just as I'm getting back into a routine, the government decides to screw with the clocks again. Fantastic. This Sunday, November 1, we fall back one hour. Technically, you gain an extra hour of sleep, which sounds great, right? Until...
Hola from South Padre, TX, where your favorite nerd rolled onto the island late Monday night after 1,566 miles over 4 days, 5 David bars, 4 RTD protein shakes, 6 Ghost energy drinks, 4 mg of nicotine, and enough trail mix to feed a family of squirrels through a cold-a$$ Minnesota winter. Somewhere around the ¾ mark of this automotive circus, I had a rather disturbing realization. Despite managing to squeeze in 3 training sessions along the way, I was living like the typical American.
