In this episode I share a brief recap of the recent Deka Strong event that was help at my studio. This is always such a great event and we had an awesome turnout. Have you heard of the new 65+ age group modifications and the new team challenges? I discuss some of the more recent changes with Deka.
In my Research Review I discuss a really cool study looking at high fat versus high carb meal prior to performing. This study shows some interested results and I explain why this might be the way to go for your nutrition leading up to your next race and the strategy you want to implement morning of your race.
In the Inside Mike's Mind section I talk conditioning. I question I get all the time is what is the best way to build conditioning. Is it tabata intervals or other HIIT methods? This is a topic I am really passionate about and I take a deep dive in the physiology of conditioning to help explain what the best method actually is for improving your endurance.

In this episode, I recap my first Spartan Race of the year in San Bernadino, CA. It was a fun race and excited to get back into it. My research review discuss different strategies for improving your pull ups. Obviously being better at pull ups is a huge advantage in many obstacles. See how these different techniques held up.
In the Inside Mike's Mind segment I discuss some of the principles of training. These aren't philosophies or suggestions. These principles are the law of training and if you aren't considering them you are missing out in how your training can better help you improve.
And finally I chat with Coach Gary Lombardo. Gary was previously on the show for episode 54. Gary is no stranger to endurance events. From Iron Man, to Ultras, to high altitude expeditions, Gary has done it all and helped others push their limits for endurance. Gary is participating in the upcoming Winter Death Race and share his training to prep for it. Plus he shares some tips for taking on more endurance based activities if you are ready to step up your racing.
All this and much more in today's show.
