Advancements in technology have made it easier to measure and improve metabolic fitness in endurance athletes.Heart rate is a basic way to measure metabolic fitness, but more advanced methods such as lactate measurement are becoming popular.Improving fat burning as a fuel source is important for both performance and overall health.Excessive carbohydrate consumption can have negative effects on health and performance.Prioritizing health and improving fat metabolism should be the focus in endurance training.TRANSCRIPT:https://share.transistor.fm/s/cc4444c6/transcript.txtMORE FROM JOE: https://joefrieltraining.comPODCAST INFO:Tyson Sträva: https://www.strava.com/athletes/83530274Podcast Website: www.relaxedrunning.comApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast...Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2MMfLsQ...RSS: https://feeds.transistor.fm/relaxed-r...SOCIALS:- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/relaxedrunning- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/relaxed_run...
