Description
In this episode, Mark Sisson and I talk about the origin of the fat-adapted athlete approach in contrast to the carb-dependent endurance athlete, which represented our main experience in endurance sports for those early years and decades.
This show will give you a nice overview of the rationale and the benefits of transitioning from being the typical carbohydrate dependent endurance athlete to being a fat adapted athlete, and how you can do that through dietary modification and training modification. Mark shares how he feels about reconciling his longtime passion for endurance training and elite competition with his Primal living path and his recent breakthroughs in his endurance training philosophy. You will also hear us discuss the benefits of being fat adapted and the drawbacks of training in an inflammatory, oxidative carbohydrate dependency pattern.
TIMESTAMPS:
Brad is back with Mark Sisson to talk about the origin of the fat adapted athlete approach. [00:01]
What is going on these days with endurance training theory compared to 20 years ago? [01:42]
What kind of diet works best away from training? By cutting out carbs and cutting way back on sugars and starches and grains, Mark is a super fat-burning machine. [07:03]
Sugars are more than candy. There are tremendous quantities of sugars in fruit juices, pancakes, waffles, pasta, cereal. [09:21]
How does one dial this in with a primarily approved eating pattern as well as a sensible endurance training? [11:14]
What is the right amount of carbs? You need intuitive knowledge regarding your training program and your daily life. [15:55]
To do this right, you need to go back to a strong aerobic base. [21:22]
Form and strength training are important to plan out your program. [24:31]
The importance of rest seems to be overlooked in many areas of training. You can’t train on someone else’s schedule. [29:23]
