Episode notes
INSIGHT

Olav's Testing Approach

  • Olav’s testing focuses on relevant race-day velocities and longer intervals for steady state.
  • This differs from standard one-minute increments, providing more accurate metabolic data.
ADVICE

Technology and Self-Efficacy

  • Use technology to improve internal feedback and self-efficacy, not create reliance.
  • Empower athletes to make decisions based on data and perceived exertion (RPE).
