Intensity in training is a critical issue for older athletes. Perceived exertion is more important than wearable data. Masters athletes often fall into two training categories. Balance between easy and hard training is essential. The Paleo lifestyle offers insights into modern training. Functional fitness is key for endurance performance. Lifestyle changes impact training and recovery. Understanding stress management is crucial for older athletes. Runners often face a variety of injuries due to improper training methods. Learning about slow training can help prevent injuries. Having a support team of professionals is crucial for recovery. It's important to address injuries immediately to avoid chronic issues. Flexibility and mobility training become increasingly important with age. Strength training is essential for maintaining muscle and bone density. Aging athletes can still achieve remarkable performance with dedication. Consistency in training is key to long-term success. Understanding the difference between discomfort and serious injury is vital. Age should not be seen as a barrier to athletic achievement. --- TRANSCRIPT https://share.transistor.fm/s/5bf293a6/transcript.txt -- PODCAST INFO: Tyson Sträva: https://www.strava.com/athletes/83530274 Podcast Website: www.relaxedrunning.com Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast...

Mobility and pliability should not overshadow stability. A simple approach to strength training can yield better results. Incorporate strength training into your routine gradually. Focus on foundational exercises like squats and deadlifts. Two to four strength sessions per week is ideal for runners. Rest and recovery are crucial for muscle growth. Plyometrics can enhance bone health for runners. Variety in training helps prevent overuse injuries. Don't start strength training right before a race. Incorporate at least one or two upper body exercises in strength routines. Upper body strength improves running efficiency and posture. Muscle mass contributes to power and speed in running. The running community has a harmful obsession with thinness. Carbohydrates are essential for recovery and performance. Simplicity in recovery practices is often overlooked. Viral fitness trends can distract from effective training methods. Proper nutrition is crucial for preventing injuries in runners. Building strength in the gym is vital for distance runners. --- TRANSCRIPT https://share.transistor.fm/s/90f20b05/transcript.txt -- PODCAST INFO: Tyson Sträva: https://www.strava.com/athletes/83530274 Podcast Website: www.relaxedrunning.com Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast...

Healthy breathing is rare among the general population. Breathing issues can amplify under stress, especially in athletes. A calm state is essential for effective learning and performance. Posture significantly impacts breathing and emotional states. External feedback can have unintended consequences on performance. Understanding breathing patterns can help address anxiety and stress. Movement can reflect a person's personality and emotional state. Proactive coaching is more effective than reactive approaches. Breathing techniques can be improved through mindfulness and awareness. Trust is essential for effective coaching and healing. Tom Brady emphasizes playability for longevity in sports. Pliability is crucial for injury prevention and performance. Relaxation is key to effective strength training. Mobility is more about movement than stretching. Backward walking can calm the nervous system. Mindset and internal dialogue significantly affect performance. Running can serve as a powerful tool for self-discovery. Results should not define one's self-worth. --- TRANSCRIPT https://share.transistor.fm/s/088c2786/transcript.txt -- PODCAST INFO: Tyson Sträva: https://www.strava.com/athletes/83530274 Podcast Website: www.relaxedrunning.com Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast...

He started triathlons at the age of nine, influenced by his father's athletic journey. He stopped competing in 2022 to focus on coaching and family. Transitioning from competition to coaching can be fulfilling and necessary. Sauna use can enhance training adaptations and recovery. Heat training can improve performance through physiological adaptations. Cold water immersion helps reactivate the parasympathetic nervous system. Consistency in training is crucial for endurance athletes. Balancing training loads is essential for recovery and performance. Recovery strategies should be personalized to individual needs. Consistency is crucial for athletes, and it revolves around recovery. The three pillars of recovery are sleep, nutrition, and training periodization. Adequate sleep is essential for optimal recovery and performance. Protein intake is vital for recovery, with recommendations of 200-300 grams per day for athletes. Understanding training phases and periodization is key to effective training. New athletes should monitor their training intensity to avoid burnout. Recovery strategies should be prioritized over minor recovery techniques like saunas. Magnesium supplementation is important for athletes due to its role in muscle function and recovery. Enjoying the training process is essential; it doesn't have to be a suffer fest. Improvement in endurance sports is a dose-response relationship, requiring consistent training. --- TRANSCRIPT https://share.transistor.fm/s/204214fd/transcript.txt -- PODCAST INFO: Tyson Sträva: https://www.strava.com/athletes/83530274 Podcast Website: www.relaxedrunning.com Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast...

Nutrition in Japan is clean and accessible, making it easier to maintain a healthy diet. Jake trains with a club team, which has improved his performance significantly. Living alone in Tokyo has its challenges, but Jake appreciates the independence. Jake is focused on improving his marathon performance while training in Japan. The level of competition in Japan is incredibly high, especially with many elite Kenyan runners. Japanese runners often achieve celebrity status, especially after major races. Jake has significantly improved his marathon time from 238 to 217. He plans to implement traditional Japanese training methods in his upcoming marathon preparation. Training in Japan emphasizes high mileage and specific drills over gym work. Vlogging is a way for Jake to share his journey while maintaining focus on performance.
