026: Nick Goode | Sports Scientist - Understand the why behind endurance & performance

In this episode we have Nick Goode, PhD (currently finishing) in Sports Science and Physiology at East Tennessee State University and sports scientist with the USRowing U19 Pathways program, and we do a full on deep dive into the “why” behind endurance training and performance!

We get down into the weeds of performance as we talk about...

• The relationship between coaching and science, and why it is necessary that they work together to develop better performing endurance athletes

• The importance of training zones and field tests to determine appropriate training, manage fatigue, and set up a long term program with a true performance peak

• Why athletes need to focus on building the endurance base versus just relying on race intensity to perform better on 2000 meter testing
