Favorite part was a little past the midpoint when Andre La Gerche comes on to talk about Derek Clayton's heart and experience with afib Touches on topics I hadn't heard elsewhere Multiple ablations, when to treat, the nature of AFib, physiology of the heart…

Given 56 years ago he ran 2:08:33, what time do you think he’d run today if he: had todays shoes, drank sufficient fluids including CHO during his races, wasn’t working full time, had a coach, massages etc. Make sure you check out my podcast episode with Derek + top researchers

Now online Derek Clayton: Marathon WR in 1967+1969. Now at 82 smashing it on the bike and playing golf 3x a week. Inspirational. Heart in amazing shape but has AF. David Costill, Mark Hargreaves and Andre La Gerche (who’ve tested him over 50 yrs) involved too!! Thanks all!!
We all had a great chat. What a legend Derek Clayton is!! Marathon WR in 1967+1969 and 55 yrs later smashing it on the bike and playing golf 3 days a week. Looking fantastic! An inspiration! Really great having David, Mark and Andre involved too! 👍. Thank alot all Online soon

Dr Andrew Coggan: “Be a skeptical consumer of information and truly consider the source”. He’s talking about why need @inside_exercise. From his 2nd time on the podcast: youtu.be/-6DhfMJH84E?si…
Please let me know if you have any questions for Derek. I’m going to do it in order of the events in Derek’s life. So start with Derek and I and then add in David Costill (1969) and then add Mark Hargreaves (1991) and then Andre La Gerche (~2022). An extravaganza. Can’t wait!

Now online Depending on training volume and other factors: -Explosive resistance training (RT) may improve endurance performance/economy -Endurance training may not affect hypertrophy but may affect strength and speed of contraction -More research needed Thanks @TLexercise

We had a really pleasant, informative chat. Thanks @TLexercise Resistance training may actually improve endurance performance Endurance exercise tends to not interfere with resistance exercise But lots of nuance around these statements. It depends on many factors Online soon

Looking forward to chatting in 2 days with Dr Tommy Lundberg from Karolinska University in Sweden Topic: Concurrent training Does strength training interfere with endurance training? Does endurance training interfere with strength training? Any questions? @TLexercise
I had a nice chat with Glenn about a topic I believe to be very important, given the likely beneficial effects of exercise on issues facing people with cancer, incl. fatigue, metabolic disorders and cachexia. Also a topic that needs a lot more research and target identification👩🔬

Now online There is evidence exercise can: -reduce the likelihood of getting cancer -improve the prognosis during cancer treatment -improve effectiveness of chemotherapy -reduce metastasis -reduce the likely of getting cancer again Remarkable!! Thanks @LykkeSylow
