Endurance training

I like going somewhere like I've never been to Cascade.

One thing I'm really enjoying about endurance training is all these fun little adventures I'm going on.

I've been to Borneo.

I've been to Chamonix.

This is a really quick one.

It's called Changes in Cardiac Function Before and After Hot Water Immersion and Endurance Exercise in Middle-Aged Individuals With Overweight or Obesity.

Um, so not related to people that are trying to perform at the top level in marathons or whatever, but shows some interesting mechanistic connections here.

It took 25 individuals, 10 of them women, and did randomized order with at least 72 hours separating interventions, so everybody got every intervention in randomized order.

Links to each of our social media pages can be found in the show notes.

Tune in next week for another endurance training-related discussion and learn more about how you can find that extra match for your next big event.

Catch y'all soon.

Let's go! We'll be right back.

I got one more section I kind of want to get through, more specific and tailored to this audience a little bit.

And, um, in your opinion, do you think high-volume endurance training promotes longevity, or is this- Is there a point where...

I've always heard for many, many years, I'm 20 years a runner, I'm, I'm 39 now.

I started as a senior in high school, and I hear the jokes about, "Man, one day you're gonna b- it's gonna be bad for you, your knees." And I'm on this run like you, Tony, to where over the last seven years, I stopped drinking seven years ago, and I've continued to get better year over year, and I've taken care of myself better.

So that's why I'm curious about this topic of a lot of the things that you said.

But is there this point of, like, overdoing it, is the question I'm getting at.

And is there a high-volume endurance training, can it promote longevity, or is there a point of where it becomes counterproductive in your view?

Yeah, I th- there absolutely is a point of diminishing returns and then a point of counterproductivity, right? I think o- both of those things.
