#50: Dr. Stephen Seiler on 80/20 Training

"You don't have to go that hard every day in training with the high intensity sessions. You're building the cake, but racing is eating the cake. You have to balance that. If you eat the cake too much, then you're going to be in trouble…" - Stephen Seiler PhD

Video version of this interview.

Dr. Stephen Seiler (Twitter) is a well known Exercise Physiologist, located in Norway. You might have heard of the 80/20 rule of endurance training, meaning performing 80% of your workouts at a low intensity and 20% at a higher intensity.

Professor Stephen Seiler has studied the training habits of many world class endurance athletes and discovered the 80/20 Rule that also applies to endurance training. This has been a remarkable counter intuitive trend, however this polarized approach is now widely accepted by coaches and athletes around the world.

In this podcast we talk about exercise physiology and training adaptations, particularly for endurance sports.
