The Religion and Politics of Endurance Training and Nutrition
Today on the podcast (player below), Russ and I spend some time talking about what has become the religion and politics of endurance sports. Endurance sports have a lot of new and emerging “Guru’s” with deep beliefs on the style of training and nutrition that people should be following. While this may or may not be a bad thing we really believe that people are confused.
Should you be following the ….
Paleo People?
No Carb People?
The carb only people?
The vegetarians?
The fructarians or the humanitarians?
Should you train like…..
More is better?
Less is better?
Base building long distance low HR?
Minimalistic training?
The reverse build – reverse periodization  HIIT camp?
The Joe Friel Power nuts or the Maffetone HR training tribe?
