In this episode, we take an in-depth look at heat training with Daniele Cardinale. Daniele has been overseeing and testing Victor throughout his heat training block, and during our conversation, we gain a deeper understanding of what happens to the body when heat is introduced during exercise. Is heat training similar to altitude training, or does our body adapt to these two stresses in different ways? Daniele also offers expert insights on how to implement heat training safely and effectively.

Mads has had a chance to review our test results and is now presenting them to us live. During our trip to Copenhagen, we had to conduct the tests at the hotel gym, which introduced several variables we would have preferred to control. Still, we pushed through, and now we can focus on planning our future training. We also discuss various supplements and share what we're currently taking.

24. The Reflection

David Alledal joins us in the studio for our milestone 25th episode. We’ve been eager to revisit some of the quotes that inspired us in 2024, and who better to invite than the man that shared, "Look where the energy is going." with us. Once a dedicated cyclist, David has since shifted his focus to exercise driven by compassion and more time spent with his family rather than on his performance. In this conversation, we dive into his transformative journey—discussing why his trip to India was 51% the best decision he ever made and 49% the worst experience of his life. We explore what happens when you start truly listening to yourself and realize that change is needed at a fundamental level. David also shares why he no longer logs his training sessions and why he started to look at himself self as a battery and explains the importance of embracing wall quotes for personal growth.
