Measuring Stamina to Help you Build Endurance
<div class="notesWrapper MuiBox-root css-1hgpvub e1de0imv0"> <span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> In this episode, Nathan discusses the difference between stamina and endurance and how they relate to running. Stamina is a prolonged activity with a higher output, while endurance is simply a prolonged activity. Nathan explains that stamina is a measurement of fatigue resistance and can be used to determine what power output you can hold after doing work. He also shares three ways to build stamina: longer long runs, long runs with a higher output, and longer sub-threshold sessions. Nathan emphasizes the importance of tracking stamina for longer distance races and offers his expertise to help runners improve their stamina.</span></div> <div class="notesWrapper MuiBox-root css-1hgpvub e1de0imv0"> </div> <div class="notesWrapper MuiBox-root css-1hgpvub e1de0imv0"> <strong><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-headingXSmall css-1mp1p0p e1de0imv0"> Takeaways</span></strong> <ul class="css-h4c1sf"> <li><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> Stamina is a measurement of fatigue resistance and can show what power output you can hold after doing work.</span></li> <li><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> To build stamina, focus on longer long runs, long runs with a higher output, and longer sub-threshold sessions.</span></li> <li><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> Tracking stamina is important for longer distance races to determine the effectiveness of training and race strategy.</span></li> <li><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> A power meter is a valuable tool for analyzing and improving stamina in running.</span></li> <li><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> Nathan offers his expertise to help runners improve their stamina and integrate data into their training and racing.</span></li> </ul> </div> <div class="MuiBox-root css-y6p5k6 e1de0imv0"><strong><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-headingXSmall css-1mp1p0p e1de0imv0"> Chapters</span></strong> <div class="MuiBox-root css-4cps79 e1de0imv0"><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-helper css-v8n4dg e1de0imv0">00:00 </span> <span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> Introduction and Overview</span></div> <div class="MuiBox-root css-4cps79 e1de0imv0"><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-helper css-v8n4dg e1de0imv0">01:07 </span> <span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> Understanding Stamina as Fatigue Resistance</span></div> <div class="MuiBox-root css-4cps79 e1de0imv0"><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-helper css-v8n4dg e1de0imv0">06:09 </span> <span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> Building Stamina: Three Effective Strategies</span></div> <div class="MuiBox-root css-4cps79 e1de0imv0"><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-helper css-v8n4dg e1de0imv0">10:00 </span> <span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> Analyzing and Improving Stamina with a Power Meter</span></div> <div class="MuiBox-root css-4cps79 e1de0imv0"><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-helper css-v8n4dg e1de0imv0">11:24 </span> <span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> The Importance of Tracking Stamina for Race Strategy</span></div> <div class="MuiBox-root css-4cps79 e1de0imv0"><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-helper css-v8n4dg e1de0imv0">12:22 </span> <span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> Expert Help to Improve Your Stamina</span></div> </div>

Using Data to Monitor Training for Marathon Runners
<div class="notesWrapper MuiBox-root css-1hgpvub e1de0imv0"> <span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> In this episode, Nathan discusses the importance of monitoring training and shares protocols and metrics to determine if training is effective. He focuses on two main topics: performance and load management. The power duration curve is a key tool for performance monitoring, as it shows an athlete's maximum efforts for different durations. It helps personalize intervals and track progress. Load management is crucial for avoiding overtraining and injury. Nathan explains various metrics, including training stress score (TSS), chronic training load (CTL), acute training load (ATL), and training impact score (TIS). These metrics help determine the right amount of work for each individual.</span></div> <div class="notesWrapper MuiBox-root css-1hgpvub e1de0imv0"> </div> <div class="notesWrapper MuiBox-root css-1hgpvub e1de0imv0"> <strong><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-headingXSmall css-1mp1p0p e1de0imv0"> Takeaways</span></strong> <ul class="css-h4c1sf"> <li><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> Monitoring training is essential to determine if it is effective and to avoid overtraining and injury.</span></li> <li><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> The power duration curve is a valuable tool for performance monitoring, as it shows an athlete's maximum efforts for different durations.</span></li> <li><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> Metrics like training stress score (TSS), chronic training load (CTL), acute training load (ATL), and training impact score (TIS) help in load management.</span></li> <li><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> Personalizing intervals and tracking progress can be done using the power duration curve.</span></li> <li><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> Maintaining a balance between training too little and training too much is crucial for optimal performance.</span></li> </ul> </div> <div class="MuiBox-root css-y6p5k6 e1de0imv0"><strong><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-headingXSmall css-1mp1p0p e1de0imv0"> Chapters</span></strong> <div class="MuiBox-root css-4cps79 e1de0imv0"><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-helper css-v8n4dg e1de0imv0">00:00 </span> <span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> Introduction and Thanks</span></div> <div class="MuiBox-root css-4cps79 e1de0imv0"><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-helper css-v8n4dg e1de0imv0">00:32 </span> <span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> Importance of Monitoring Training</span></div> <div class="MuiBox-root css-4cps79 e1de0imv0"><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-helper css-v8n4dg e1de0imv0">01:31 </span> <span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> The Power Duration Curve</span></div> <div class="MuiBox-root css-4cps79 e1de0imv0"><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-helper css-v8n4dg e1de0imv0">02:58 </span> <span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> Load Management</span></div> <div class="MuiBox-root css-4cps79 e1de0imv0"><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-helper css-v8n4dg e1de0imv0">09:01 </span> <span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> Metrics for Load Management</span></div> <div class="MuiBox-root css-4cps79 e1de0imv0"><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-helper css-v8n4dg e1de0imv0">17:51 </span> <span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> Conclusion and Call to Action</span></div> <div class="MuiBox-root css-4cps79 e1de0imv0"> </div> <div class="MuiBox-root css-4cps79 e1de0imv0"><span class= "MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bodyMedium css-1lit4es e1de0imv0"> If you want help with implementing data into your running, hit me up on Insta <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/runpowercoach">@runpowercoach</a> or at <a href= "https://www.runpowercoach.com">www.runpowercoach.com</a></span></div> </div>
