    How Ethiopia's Elite Runners Actually Train With Paulo Galko and Prof Paul Laursen

    What can AI reveal about the training habits of the world's best distance runners? In this episode, we dive into groundbreaking new research that combines artificial intelligence with one of the most unique datasets ever collected from elite Ethiopian marathon and half marathon runners. From uncovering hidden training patterns to understanding why context matters more than raw data, this conversation explores how AI can enhance sports science without replacing human expertise. We also discuss the future of AI in endurance coaching, why large language models are powerful tools rather than true intelligence, and how practitioners can use these technologies to ask better questions and uncover better answers.

    From Unpaid Intern to the Champions League With Daniel Caraça and Dr Martin Buchheit

    Breaking into elite football isn't always a straight path. For Daniel Caraça, it meant years of unpaid internships, balancing university with part time jobs, and never losing sight of the bigger goal. In this episode, Daniel shares his remarkable journey from studying sports science in the UK and volunteering across Scottish football to earning his first professional role with Pafos FC and helping the club compete in the UEFA Champions League. Along the way, he reflects on resilience, networking, continuous learning, and why attitude often opens more doors than experience alone. Whether you're an aspiring practitioner or already working in high performance sport, this conversation is packed with valuable lessons on building a career from the ground up.

    How Belief Shapes Performance With Assoc Prof Vince Kelly and Prof Paul Laursen

    What if one of the most powerful performance tools isn't a supplement, a training method, or new technology, but belief itself? In this episode, S&C specialist Assoc Prof Vince Kelly explores the science behind the belief effect and how athlete expectations, coach communication, environment, and trust can meaningfully influence performance outcomes. From placebo and nocebo effects to coaching philosophy and practitioner credibility, this conversation unpacks why how an intervention is delivered can be just as important as the intervention itself. Whether you're a coach, sport scientist, clinician, or athlete, this episode offers practical insights into building stronger coach athlete relationships, improving communication, and creating environments that maximize performance. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022399926003946 Today’s speakers: Prof Paul Laursen https://www.paullaursen.com/ Assoc Prof Vince Kelly https://www.linkedin.com/in/vince-kelly-6452a621/ Athletica U https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLu7L8NU083obOOZnkl9qd1lxr5zfVKTkL&si=YkGXTSQsJcYBUPiD

    Supporting Female Athletes Through Puberty and Performance With Dr Julia Casadio and Prof Paul Laursen

    Supporting young female athletes requires more than great training programs. It starts with understanding the unique physiological, psychological, and developmental changes they experience throughout puberty. In this episode, Dr Julia Casadio shares her personal journey from aspiring Olympian to elite sport physiologist, and explains how those experiences inspired the creation of Her Strength. Together, we explore the challenges facing young female athletes, including body image, menstrual health, injury risk, nutrition, and the role coaches and parents play in creating positive sporting environments. The conversation also covers practical strategies for supporting female athletes through puberty, recognizing early warning signs of low energy availability, and helping more girls stay healthy, confident, and involved in sport for the long term.

    Nano Dosing Strength in Elite Football With Nick Grantham and Dr Martin Buchheit

    How do you build stronger, more powerful footballers when there is barely enough time to recover between matches? In this episode, Nick Grantham shares how his approach to strength and conditioning has evolved after years working in elite Olympic sport and the English Premier League. The conversation explores why strength remains a cornerstone of elite football performance, how to individualize training across a congested season, and why chasing the "perfect" gym session may no longer be the answer. Nick also explains the concept of nano dosing, using small but meaningful strength exposures throughout the week, while discussing minimum effective dose, player monitoring, injury mitigation, and balancing long term athletic development with match readiness.

    The Physiology First Approach to Endurance Training With Dr Gabriele Gallo and Prof Paul Laursen

    Training isn't just about replicating race demands. It's about understanding the physiology that drives performance. In this episode, Dr Gabriele Gallo, founder of Knowledge is Watts, joins us to explore the concept of a physiology first approach to endurance training. Together, we discuss why successful coaching goes beyond chasing power numbers, how low and high intensity training work together over different timeframes, and why durability may be one of the most important frontiers in endurance performance. The conversation also explores fatigue resistance, carbohydrate availability, muscle damage, central fatigue, and how emerging technologies and AI may help coaches better understand the complex relationship between physiology and performance. Whether you're a coach, athlete, or sports scientist, this episode offers practical insights into building long term endurance through smarter training principles rather than simply copying race demands.

    Lactate Reimagined: From Fuel to Signal With Dr Aitor Viribay Morales and Prof Paul Laursen

    For decades, lactate was viewed as a waste product associated with fatigue and declining performance. Today, a growing body of research paints a very different picture. In this episode, sports scientist and researcher Aitor Viribay Morales explores the evolving science of lactate, from its role as a critical fuel source to its emerging importance as a signaling molecule that influences performance, recovery, and adaptation. The conversation dives into the lactate shuttle theory, the relationship between lactate and endurance performance, the interaction between lactate and the nervous system, and the growing interest in exogenous lactate as a potential tool for athletes. Aitor also shares insights from his work in exercise metabolism and sports nutrition, highlighting how our understanding of lactate continues to evolve beyond traditional models of fatigue. Whether you're a coach, athlete, researcher, or endurance enthusiast, this episode offers a fascinating look at one of the most misunderstood molecules in sports science.
