s4/e21 Data Driven Training for the Ever...

Elisabeth Scott
About this episode

DATA DATA EVERYWHERE! VO2max, heart rate, training status, body battery, sleep score, intensity zones, HRV, heat acclimation status, training readiness, cadence, ground contact time, vertical oscillation... HOW DO YOU SORT THROUGH IT ALL?

Sports scientist Jonah Rosner, MS, CSCS, is here to help YOU understand 1) what's important and what's just noise, 2) how to accurately gather data, and 3) how to implement it in your training! We explore how to effectively use key data points such as distance, pace, heart rate, and subjective feel to guide your training, and discuss the importance of balancing objective data with personal intuition (just like the pros!)
