  1. Fascinating discussion of the dynamics of oxygen transfer via the blood. I once heard a story about some of the most elite runners whose blood flowrate is so high that the lungs can't oxygenate the blood as fast as the blood is flowing through them. I wonder if that's true ?

  2. I hit 197 three years ago on Zwift at age 47. Now three years later I can not go over 182 sprinting up hill going all out. What happened in 3 years. I still train the same amount with same intervals. Roughly same watts.

  3. Fascinating – stroke volume – is that trained/improved more from zone 2 (base of the pyramid), or HIIT (height of the pyramid) ? Intensity right?

  4. I started uphill sprinting 8 years ago and my heart rate went as high as 187. Now it hardly ever hits 170 and my sets are way longer now. So that was a surprise. Also when I rest at the end I can feel my heart taking large gulps. That’s definitely new.

  5. This is my problem I think.
    Thank you very informative podcast.
    I have palpitations plus after every OMAD my BP drops too low eg 90/60 85/59 but in 3/4 hrs time picks up again especially NMN helps a lot having in the late afternoon.
    I sent an x to my valuable Dr Sinclair thinking NMN was the reason😏
    But when I stopped taking NMN I was worst.
    Now much better with the help of salt and 2 or 3 spoonful of to-drink wine helps a lot.
    My lower BP comes to normal levels.
    NMN helps a lot in the evening to come to normal levels of 120/80/75
    Palpitations are controlled with Betablockers twice 50×2.
    Thanks for this information.
    Love from London 👵💊💃💯🌹
