The Higher Running Podcast: Episode 1 Running Economy

Nice this is back, interesting discussion! On the grade of UTMB: it’s >11% average. 10.000m up also means 10.000 down. Or put differently: about half the distance is climbing, half descending. So that gives either 20.000m over 172 km or 10.000m over 86 km, i.e >11%

Brilliant, the podcast is back

This was great, very informative, you both have so much expertise and make a complex topic accessible

What caused your PE? Clotting in your legs?

Nice Podcast :)

BTW what you forgot to mention is that this study is a follow up to his older more detailed study (Performance Determinants in Trail-Running Races of Different Distances) where he looked at different distances at the UTMB event. The problem in that study was that there were just a few (6 female, 8 male) doing the UTMB and with 3-4 of them having a bad day it skewed the vo²max chart imho so that while he found correlations for the shorter races it made the overall analysis inconclusive. If I look at vo²max chart of that study you can clearly see 3 runners with high vo²max having a bad day. If you exclude those I could draw a similar trendline as the other distances. And that one outlier that was by far the best at UTMB had a very high vo²max, low bf% and a very low CR :)

Finały! That's the format I was waiting for! 1h - 1,5h seems ideal for my sunday runs❤

Thank you guys and thank you a lot coach sage. I can only imagine the strength you needed and you have. Not easy stuff.

Really cool. I’ve consistently viewed Sage’s own content, but this collaboration is nice to see. Feels like a more casual conversation and that helps a novice like me take in the information being provided and actually retain it.

but is the vo2max reading on my watch accurate and something I should obsess over?

Good luck with the new podcast!

Nice to see the podcast back. Will these pop up eventually under my old podcast subscription (Sage Running Podcast) or do I search out the new name?

Thanks. Love watching you both. You share so much running knowledge

Interesting conversation as always. Looking forward to more episodes.

I will support your podcast, so much value and feels like hanging out with you!

ah, I missed this

This is so exciting! Love the nitty gritty science stuff.

OH SNAP this was a good idea!

It's not on apple podcast yet. Will it be published there?
