Episode 325 of The Physical Performance Show is an Expert Q&A Edition featuring Dr Stephen Seiler "Durability and High Intensity Repeatability" Q&A.
Dr Stephen Seiler is an acclaimed Sports Scientist when it comes to endurance training and he’s best known for his work around polarised training. He recently shifted his attention to the concept of ‘durability’, which he introduced us to back on Episode 317 “Intensify or extensify”, the concept of durability.
In this episode Dr Seiler answers several questions from the recent 2022 livestream event “Durability and High Intensity Repeatability” in endurance training.
