<title>Episode 5: Volume vs Intensity: Exploding myths &#38; improving performance</title>
<link>http://esppodcast.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=326773#</link>
<description><![CDATA[On our next show we tackle the debate between volume and intensity, address the myth's of training at lactate threshold on the Sixth Sense Analysis (6SA), and welcome our first guest, Dr. Tom Swensen, Associate Professor in Exercise & Sport Sciences at Ithaca College and author on numerous performance related studies.  Swensen will discuss his latest research and to explore the debate between the need for high volume, 'base' endurance training (ET) prior to specific or high intensity interval training (HIT) dispelling much of the prevailing dogma regarding endurance training. Drawing on a slew of recent studies by Paul Laursen, Martin Gibala and Kirsten Burgomaster, we show how very short, explosive interval training can not only match up to ET, but also surpass it!  Moreover, rather than simply argue to forget longer endurance sessions, we explain how to incorporate HIT into your overall program to maximize performance, or even health and fitness.  We will also be featuring the latest music from former Chalk FarM front man, Michael Duff.

<title>ESP I-POWER PODCAST #4 Show Notes</title>
<link>http://esppodcast.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=316693#</link>
<description><![CDATA[Sixth Sense Analysis discussed a paper by de Bruign et al in EJAP showing that by doing a series of 15 maximal breath holds subjects were able to increase EPO levels by 24%, which was on par with exposure to altitude exposure of about 6000 ft.  EPO remained elevated for nearly 5 hrs.  The findings suggest why Hct and Hb levels are higher among free divers.

The off-season: TAKE A BREAK!  You need to stay active and and move into your winter/off-season program, which should include things other than your main sport,like strength training.  Take stock in your have in your "tool boxâ? â your STRENGTHS.  Decide what cost you the most last year, or even the past few years.  Usually thereâs 2 or 3 things that pop up.  BAM!  You have your winter focus.
â	12 â 16 weeks focus on these 2 or 3 things and let your schedule dictate your schedule.  If your work schedule doesn't fit the typical training model with Monday as a rest day then use something that does.  Flexible periodization allows you to accommodate disruptions and other problems, where linear is more rigid.
â	Strength training doesn't need to be at the gym.  A home system can work, but either way, use a full range of motion when possible.
â	DONâT FEAR INTENSITY! Shorter intervals can help sprints AND Time trialing/steady efforts like threshold.
Pre-season: 	Taper back strength training, but donât feel the need to stop altogether.  Plan a few big rides, or even a camp.  These blocks of endurance really help you find your rhythm on the bike. Hammer rides in moderation!  Alternate often!  

In -Season: most of your focus should be placed on honing your fitness, reducing volume before important events and adding volume and reducing intensity when not competing.  This change of pace can really help keep you progressing.  And donât forget, itâs ok to take a break!

Show concept.

<title>ESP I-POWER PODCAST Line-up Change</title>
<link>http://esppodcast.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=311930#</link>
<description><![CDATA[We're changing things up a bit, due to some scheduling conflicts.  Our show on High Intensity (HIT) vs Long Slow Endurance (ET) Training will be pushed back so we can bring on our first guest.  In it's place we're going to be hitting that mail bag again, answering a number of questions, as well as talking about the who, what, where and why of the show.  We also be presenting some interesting new research on the ESP 6th Sense analysis.]]></description>

<title>ESP I-POWER PODCAST Episode 4: Volume vs. Intensity</title>
<link>http://esppodcast.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=310033#</link>
<description><![CDATA[Volume vs Intensity: Putting the myths to bed - Due out Feb 27.

In our next podcast we explore the debate between the need for high volume, 'base' training (ET) prior to specific or high intensity interval training (HIT) dispelling much of the prevailing dogma regarding endurance training.  Drawing up a slew of recent studies by Paul Laursen, Martin Gibala and Kirsten Burgomaster, we show how very short, explosive interval training can not only match up to ET, but also surpass it!  Moreover, rather than simply argue to forget longer endurance sessions, we explain how to incorporate HIT into your overall program to maximize performance, or even health and fitness.

<title>ESP I Power Podcast 3 Show notes</title>
<link>http://esppodcast.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=304919#</link>
<description><![CDATA[n the latest Podcast we talk about Power Training and its application to an endurance training program. Briefly mentioned in the show is the term Motor Unit, illustrated above. One of the primary reasons for utilizing supplemental (off related to strength) training in addition to specific endurance training is the difficulty in activating 'High Threshold' motor units - these are motor units that are on the high end of power development (ie, fast twitch). They are bigger, but also require more recovery time, whereas endurance motor units, usually more slow twitch fibers, are very durable. Focusing solely on one endurance training neglects the fast motor units, which get smaller and hard to activate, and may even be lost completely with aging, and emphasizes lower power slow units. The phrase "USE IT OR LOSE IT!" takes on a literal meaning here. The program discussed on the show describes a yearly plan like this: OFF-SEASON â 12 weeks (Nov-Jan) PRE-SEASON â 8 weeks (Feb-Mar) IN-SEASON 1 â 12 weeks (Apr-Jun) IN-SEASON 2 â 12 weeks (Jul-Sep) This leaves October open, which is often a âgrayâ area of the year. However, itâs not a time to do nothing, maybe just nothing structured. A specific block of training might include perhaps a rotating 14 day plan that focuses on two, or maybe three (if off-season) areas but the layout for each period is the same. Case in point: Letâs say sprinting is your week area, but you generally have good sustained power (ie, 5 min) and tend to get better with short attacks, but recovery isnât always ideal, and you only have one day per week you can ride on the road. Then I might suggest TWO phases, the first focusing on: * ONE heavy weight/power day, ONE Moderate day with an easy trainer ride * ONE LIGHT day with a road ride. * TWO short interval days. The second cycle would have: * ONE HEAVY lift day * ONE light lift day with a road ride * ONE interval day with medium/short intervals or long (5 min) * Another easy ride. Combined, thatâs about 14 of training with rest days. Then you start over again.]]></description>
