Bang for Your Buck

• Vinnie had a consult with a woman focused on ultra-running who trains hard. However, the harder she trains, the harder it becomes to succeed. (2:45)
  • Vinnie (and other coaches she has hired) has told her she’s training too hard.
  • She needs to focus on what she’s doing when she’s *not* in the game. (14:00)
  • He uses his own training history as an example.
    • Optimal training happens in Zone 2, low and slow. (21:00)
• Training with a planned “down” schedule helps your body recover better and build endurance. (27:00)
• The process is similar when doing anaerobic exercises (weight training). (28:45)
• It makes sense to scale up cardio, then bring it back down, but how does that work for strength training? (31:50)
  • Vinnie’s workouts follow a periodization plan, which allows for proper recovery between workouts.
• What should people be doing on their “rest” days? (37:00)
  • Doing aerobics, like a good walk, is “active rest.”
  • Mobility exercises are an option as well.
• Pilates is good for strength, but it also works the body differently, so adjusting Pilates workouts may be necessary to accommodate weight-training workouts. Meaning, you don’t want to focus on the same muscle groups two days in a row. (38:00)
• Vinnie advises what to do on your “off” days to get the most bang for your buck. (43:00)
• You can usually find used equipment on places like Facebook Marketplace.
• Interval training is also a good addition. (47:00)
  • He explains what a “four by four” is, which is a form of HIIT (high-intensity interval training).
