EP 736: Unlocking Endurance from the Neck Up

In this episode of Trail Runner Nation, cognitive neuroscientist and endurance athlete Dr. Scott Frey [https://www.instagram.com/cerebral_performance/] reveals how brain training can unlock new levels of performance for trail and ultrarunners. He explains that while most athletes focus on the physical, it’s often the brain that sets the limits—through perceived effort, cognitive fatigue, and pain signals. Dr. Frey introduces his Brain Endurance System Training (BEST), a method that combines cognitive and physical training to build mental strength and resilience. We talk about managing cognitive load, how the brain predicts fatigue, and why a mental taper can be just as important as a physical one. Listeners will learn how to train smarter, race longer, and enjoy the sport deeper by understanding the true power of the brain.  Find out more about BEST and Dr. Frey at Cerebral Performance [https://cerebralperformance.com] Episode Sponsors: * Janji [https://janji.com/], Use code TRAILRUNNER for 10% off * Shokz [https://shokz.com/?utm_source=TRN&utm_medium=website], Use code TRN10 for 10% off [https://www.amazfit.com/trail] * Amazfit - T-Rex 3 [https://www.amazfit.com/trail]: Get 15% off * Oikos Triple Zero [https://www.oikosyogurt.com/greek-yogurt/triple-zero/] * Get the NEW "1 > 0" running hat HERE [https://trailrunnernation.com/].  Limited supply

EP 735: The Aging Athlete-Exercise Physiology

What does it mean to be a trail runner in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s—or even your 70s? How do years of pounding dirt, chasing summits, and chasing goals shape our bodies, minds, and identities? Welcome to The Aging Athlete, a new Trail Runner Nation mini-series co-hosted by ultrarunning icon Krissy Moehl [https://krissymoehl.com/]. Every 5 to 6 weeks, we’ll dive into what it looks like to grow older in this sport we love—exploring how to train smarter, fuel better, recover more intentionally, and stay motivated through the decades. In this second episode of the Aging Athlete Series, we speak with Dr. Scott Drum [https://directory.nau.edu/faculty?name=scott%20drum&person=snd273], an exercise physiologist and lifelong endurance athlete. We explore how training, VO₂ max, heart health, sleep, and social connection evolve as we age—and how understanding these changes can help runners continue performing and thriving for decades. Dr. Drum explains how we can maintain (and even improve) cardiovascular fitness into our 50s and beyond, and shares his personal experience with AFib as a cautionary but hopeful tale. The conversation blends science, personal insight, and practical strategies to help runners of all ages stay motivated, train smart, and run for life.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
