| 12/12/23 |  119 | AI Isn't About to Replace Coaches - Here's Why | Context is everything! Join Dr. Will and Dr. Matt in this episode of the Performance Advantage Podcast as they map out the future role of AI in sports. There is a pivotal difference between AI-generated training plans and AI coaching. While AI might consistently churn out generic training schedules, it cannot replicate the nuanced planning and adaptations a human coach can offer based on an athlete's ever-changing needs and circumstances. Athletes' reliance on AI's automated adjustments is a challenge, considering that there is currently no feature for in-depth discussion or contextual assessment from a machine.

| 11/26/23 | 118 | Too Much Data a Bad Thing? | With a thrilling array of metrics at our disposal—heart rate, power meters, HRV, braking analysis, sleep patterns, and an arsenal of wearable tech like running watches—the consensus was clear: while the abundance of data might seem overwhelming, its value lies in contextualization. In our conversation, we unveiled the power of data as a guiding compass for performance optimization. Ultimately, we concluded that there's no such thing as an excess of data; rather, it's the interpretation and application that define its significance. Join us on this enlightening journey through the intersection of sports and data science and analytics, where the right data, in the right context, becomes the game-changer you need. ---- Here's a link to the scientific article we discussed: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2020.608426/full Support the show by leaving a review and sharing an episode!

| 8/30/23 | 116 | Burnout and Overtraining - How to Avoid the Inevitable and Why It's OK | As an endurance athlete, it's easy to get caught up in the mentality that more is always better. However, there's a fine line between pushing yourself to your limits and overtraining. Burnout and overtraining can have similar symptoms, such as fatigue, decreased performance, and lack of motivation. The difference lies in the cause - burnout is often a result of psychological and emotional stress, while overtraining is caused by physical stress from excessive training. It's important to listen to your body and recognize the signs of burnout or overtraining to prevent long-term negative effects on your performance and overall health. Remember, rest and recovery are just as important as training to achieve your endurance goals. --- Support the show by leaving a review and sharing an episode!

| 6/23/23 | 114 | The Difference Between 1st and Last in MTB Races | There's so much going on in MTB - and plenty of bro science. With so many equipment and setup options, and multitude of factors affecting performance in races, how is it possible to figure out what's best for you? Think of it this way: you could have the perfect bike for the course and your best ever fitness, but over-pacing in the first 30s of your race could throw it all away! Are hardtails faster? Can you beat someone simply because you have different tires? Will your suspension setup make you brake differently? We've been doing some races and trying new things, and have found wildly different results. Matt and Will are 1:1 in the local series despite different approaches in training and execution of races. We explore what makes one rider faster than the other in this episode across a number of factors, and have science to back a lot of it up - just what you need to get faster in your next race, whether XC, DH or Enduro. --- Support the show by leaving a review and sharing an episode!

| 11/1/22 | 108 | Racing vs Training - Psychological or Physiological? | After a few big weeks of racing, we discuss why some races don't measure up to training. Do your races not go to plan? Are you great at training, but bad at racing? We've found that there are three types of racers- those going for the win, those who think they are going for the win, and those who execute the best they have on the day. These might sound the same, but they are very different in terms of execution, and ultimately consistency.

| 7/5/22 |  103 | Low Carb Vs High Carb. New Research in 2022 | Get leaner and improve your performance by eating more fat and fewer carbs. Want to improve your finishing time? Eat whatever you want. Those are the results I (Dr Will O’Connor) found during my PhD. I had thirteen athletes, men and women, eat both low and high-carb diets for four weeks. I tested their performance over five hours after a carbohydrate load. I considered my study design the best-case scenario for low-carb fat-adapted athletes to outperform high-carb athletes: chronic adaptation and ultra-endurance performance with a carbohydrate load and carbohydrate supplementation. In this episode, Dr Matt and I discuss my new publication and its implications for your low-carb self-experiments.

| 5/24/22 | 100 | Dispelling the Grey Zone Myth | Zone 3 (Tempo) is the ideal stamina building training zone. Training at “tempo” can be beneficial by inducing increases in O2 demand, cardiovascular stress, lactate shuttling and H+ buffer capacity without being completely taxing. HOWEVER, Zone 3 can quickly become the deadly “grey zone” when you push the pace on your easy or aerobic sessions. When you push your zone 1 & 2 sessions too hard, you move beyond the maximal fat utilisation intensity (65% VO2max) and begin to rely on carbohydrates. In which case, you’re not training for maximal aerobic development. You’re training in the ‘grey zone’. When you train in the ‘grey zone’ day after day, week after week, you’ll find yourself chronically tired and smack in the middle of a training plateau. Worse yet, you could end up overtrained, burnt out, or injured. In this episode, we talk through the science of grey zone training and how you can avoid the grey zone trap.
