EP 709: Fact or Fiction? Debunking Myths About Fitness, Nutrition, and Endurance
There are so many new studies and scientific discoveries that it's tough for us runners to discern what is fact and what is fiction. That's why we enjoy every discussion we have with Alex Hutchinson. He dispels the fake news and brings to us the latest and greatest in athletic research in his "Sweat Science" column at OutsideOnline.com. In this episode, we discuss a few of his recent articles on meditation, VO2max differences in gender, and how to fight muscle power as we age.
