“Unfortunately I found the latest podcast to be ageist. I’ll check in again when the podcaster reaches 60 years old…then see how they feel. I know plenty of people still riding strong (even some racing) into their 70s! Also, the podcaster could curtail the use of the f-word to keep the “clean”...”Read full review »

“If coaches can talk about cellar redox, AMPC, NADH and wavelength absortion and emission (photoelectirc effect) they leave out the quandum part on purpose and talk about real training gems and most of the time in a modest real way. These guys really know and know how the rubber meets the road....”Read full review »

“For me, this podcast is a bit of an acquired taste. At first I didn’t really like it and perhaps the episode I started with was not the best one (the “infamous” episode on the Rønnestad 30/15 study).
But as I have listened to more episodes, I have grown to really like the podcast. The nerd-level...”Read full review »

“Been listening to the podcast for sometime now. It’s probably the best I’ve come across maybe just short of hiring a great coach if you are planning to DIY. Amazed by the knowledge Kolie and the team have and freely share. Lee it up guys!”

The backdrop of the show is this: we’re all different people with different current states, so understanding the actual physiology can...”Read full review »

“Just a couple of hacks. They make assumptions of fact, that they then prove are not true, but use the assumption anyway. If you want standard FTP dogma, this is the place. Real knowledge is found elsewhere.”

“The latest series of episodes are painful biochemistry lectures that the host spends reminding you how smart he is and how’s he’s dumbing it down as best as he can for us. It’s not necessary and comes across as pompous. The concepts are simple and he’s basically regurgitating the material...”Read full review »
