Maintaining Consistency Through Both Good and Bad Days, with Eli and Tabor Hemming
Season 1 · Episode 9
vendredi 18 octobre 2024 • Duration 01:16:46
Eli and Tabor Hemming, two of the fastest trail runners around, join the Tracer podcast to discuss their training philosophy and how everyday runners can improve their training.
The Hemmings emphasize the importance of consistency in training, noting that a single workout won't make or break your fitness. Instead, focus on building fitness over months and years. They also stress that any running counts towards consistency, so even a short run is better than nothing.
To set yourself up for success, prioritize your training and eliminate excuses. The Hemmings suggest preparing for hard workouts like races, ensuring proper fueling, hydration, and recovery in the days leading up to the workout. They also recommend active recovery on rest days.
When assessing tiredness levels, look for trends rather than focusing on a single day. If you consistently feel terrible, take a rest day or even three. The Hemmings also advise paying attention to your motivation levels. If you lack excitement to run for several days, it could indicate overtraining.
While heat training is becoming increasingly popular, the Hemmings caution against overdoing it and emphasize the importance of building a solid fitness base first. They suggest incorporating heat training in the last block of training.
The Hemmings also discuss the importance of listening to your body and not solely relying on data from devices. They believe that journaling your feelings and training can provide valuable insights into your overall well-being.
Finally, they stress the importance of believing in your training plan. Even unconventional training methods can be successful if you have confidence in what you are doing. Find what works best for you and prioritize your overall health and well-being.

Hydration and Sodium: A Key to Endurance Performance, with Sports Dietitian Kristen Davis
Season 1 · Episode 6
vendredi 2 août 2024 • Duration 01:10:47
Sodium chloride, commonly known as salt, is a crucial nutrient for athletes. It helps maintain proper water balance within the body. When the balance between water and sodium gets disrupted, an endurance athlete's performance can rapidly decline. Additionally, dangerous situations can arise if this imbalance isn't restored.
In this episode of the TRACER podcast, registered sports dietitian Kristen Davis tackles key questions for endurance athletes. These questions include: How much sodium is needed during exercise? Is plain water enough in hot weather? How can we determine our individual sweat sodium loss? And what are the signs of low sodium?
