Episode notes
Prioritize Lifting For Muscle Gains
- Prioritize lifting if your main goal is muscle; schedule runs to avoid lifting while fatigued.
- Accumulate 6–15 weekly sets close to failure per muscle group and eat enough calories and protein.
Sauna Offers Passive Cardiovascular Stress
- Sauna heat exposure gives cardiovascular stress without mechanical load and aids heat acclimation.
- Significant heat adaptations emerge within ~10–14 days of regular exposure.
Delay Cold Plunges After Key Runs
- Avoid cold plunges immediately after runs because they blunt blood flow and adaptative signals.
- If you enjoy cold tubs, do them hours after training or far from key sessions.
