Yeah, Rhonda, I think putting together this guide, it was incredible.

I got to listen and re-listen to many of the interviews that you had with some of these world-leading experts.

And I personally learned a lot and had a lot of fun putting it together.

So we're going to cover a lot of things today.

And I think what we're going to start with is aerobic exercise training, kind of a very

popular topic these days with people interested in how to improve their VO2 max and their cardiovascular health.

You've interviewed experts in this area, including Dr. Martin Gabala, kind of an expert in high intensity interval training, exercise physiology, and Dr. Benjamin Levine, who honestly gave like a masterclass on just how to improve heart health.

I found that episode very interesting.

So we're going to start today with talking to people about how to improve their cardiovascular health, their VO2 max with aerobic exercise training.

Yeah, certainly.

I think that, you know, in this guide, there are a lot of protocols that we're going to provide and people can, I think they mostly gear towards people improving their longevity, their health span and optimizing health.

But, you know, if you're a performance oriented person and are looking to get stronger or compete, whether that's in some type of resistance training competition, or maybe you're on a faster 5k or 10k, this guide has those types of things too.

As you know, you call me an elite endurance athlete, I'm kind of far from elite, but I appreciate that sentiment.

But, you know, I have performance goals, obviously, which are to run a fast marathon.

That's kind of these days what my primary goal has been.

And so, you know, I might train differently from somebody who just wants to get healthier or improve their health span if they're in middle age or older age or

you know, even younger people who are just kind of getting into exercise.

So, um, yeah, it's important to define the goals and that will kind of determine how you want to train.

And even though my goal is to optimize, to run a fast marathon, you know, given that it's not my full-time job just to run fast and I have other goals like reducing my injury risk and just having a high level of vitality.

I also want to, you know, train for brain health like you, Rhonda.
