In this week’s episode we are revisiting conditioning and what it truly means back in the podcast den.   What does Conditioning mean? As a very general rule, we are considering conditioning to be the ability to produce a large quantity of work for an extended period of time or repeated bouts, but conditioning is very much specific to your sport/training goal.

After chatting through what adaptations we are specifically looking for from aerobic training, we discuss: Why this is important, even if you are a powerlifter Why HIIT training is potentially one of the worst things you can do to actually build aerobic capacity What you actually need to do to build more aerobic capacity?
