In this episode Chris Thomas sits down with athlete, exercise physiologist, and veteran coach, Zoe Nance from Uphill Athlete. Zoe has spent 3 decades in the exercise physiology field guiding a very diverse group of athletes from endurance mountain and road bikers, swimmers, triathletes, mountaineers, and paddlers for efforts like 1000 mile biking and paddling races to Mount Everest summits. We cover so much in this episode from the importance of having a coach, aerobic deficiency, glucose versus fat utilization for fuel, maximizing capillary and mitochondria density, lactate as fuel, improving lactate shuttling, using exercise physiology lab tests to personalize training, heart rate variability, recovery, and using carbohydrates as a muscle-sparing tool during exercise. There's so much more to this chat, but I'll let you hear it from Zoe Nance herself in this 12th episode of the Dabbling In Paddleism podcast...
