Welcome to the first episode of my straight to tape series. My goal is to create short bite-size clips (10 - 20min) to help athletes and coaches. I'll stream these live to Facebook, and upload to Youtube (links below) and podcast https://anchor.fm/dr-will-oconnor/episodes/Engineering-and-Rugby--How-I-got-Here--Ep1-e12496s This week, I'm starting with my background story. How I got here, and why I love coaching and education.

Maximal Lactate Steady State (MLSS) is the maximal exercise intensity that is sustainable for a prolonged period. Generally, that period is 60min. However, the time will vary depending on the training state and economy of the athlete.

The heat shows no mercy, and that was particularly true for my 24hr "race". Back in June, I did a podcast going over my approach to the 24hr event with Dr Matt Miller. Over the next 5 months from June until race day I implemented as much of my sports science knowledge as I could to prepare for the demands of running for 24hrs. HOWEVER, I neglected one key variable in his preparation, the heat. Unfortunately, race day ended up being a hot day with no clouds or wind. As you'll hear, I made some tactical errors in the moment that lead to me passing out with heatstroke.

Ahead of my next ultramarathon, the Kepler Challenge 60km, I wanted to check my pacing strategy. I use a Stryd running power meter because it gives me the most direct measurement of my effort at any given time. Heart rate and pace can be unreliable for trail ultras. We've come up a few Km short in an ultra before! 😭. To test my pacing I ran up Mt Luxmore, Te Anau (NZ) at 75-80% of my rFTP or critical power. I tested my lactate at 30min (6.2mmol) and 60min (6.9mmol). A measurement over 6mmol shows that my power range is going to be too high for a 5-6hr run. Lower is better, and wouldn't want my lactate to get much above 4mmol, otherwise I'm going run out of glycogen before the end, regardless of how much I consume during the race. That means I'll need to aim for about 73-77% rFTP/CP for this weekend. Theory is one thing, execution is another. Which me luck! 😁 Learn more about lactate on my podcast https://link.performanceadvantagepodcast.com/62 LINKS • Strava: https://link.drwillo.com/Strava • YouTube: https://link.drwillo.com/youtube • Instagram: https://link.drwillo.com/instagram • Facebook: https://link.drwillo.com/facebook • Listen to our podcast: https://www.performanceadvantagepodcast.com • Getting coaching with Dr Will: https://link.drwillo.com/pacoaching • Sign-up for the Endurance Training Hub https://link.drwillo.com/endurancetraininghub Edited by Rycopene: https://www.youtube.com/Rycopene

Four weeks left to go and the final big run of my training block. Without thinking about it, I ate a curry for dinner (Chicken Korma🤤), which did not leave me feeling amazing for this run. As much as I hated it at the time, it ended up being a great challenge. I didn't eat from 1.5hrs to 3.5hrs to ensure I could clear the fluid build up in my gut. Having been on a keto diet for almost three months definitely helped with that because I didn't feel any energy lows throughout the entire 70km. Emotional lows, yes. 01:44 1.5hrs LINKS • Strava: https://link.drwillo.com/Strava • YouTube: https://link.drwillo.com/youtube • Instagram: https://link.drwillo.com/instagram • Facebook: https://link.drwillo.com/facebook • Listen to our podcast: https://www.performanceadvantagepodcast.com • Getting coaching with Dr Will: https://link.drwillo.com/pacoaching • Sign-up for the Endurance Training Hub https://link.drwillo.com/endurancetraininghub Edited by Rycopene: https://www.youtube.com/Rycopene

I have a goal to run over 200km in 24hrs at the New Zealand 24hr running championships in November. My longest run up until this point is "only" 104km or 10hrs. I know I'm in great physical condition, but I don't think my physical capabilities are going be my performance limiter for 24hrs. As part of my training for a 24 hour run, I wanted to test my mental preparation. I went out and ran 19 laps of the beautiful Blue Lake (Lake Tikipatu) in Rotorua as part of the Blue Lake 24hr Challenge. I was able to complete 100km (110km on strava 😉) in 12hrs, making it my new longest run! Oh yea, and I won! 03:15 Feelings at 7hrs 03:57 Race recap the next day #ultrarunning #trailrunning #ultrarunner LINKS • Strava: https://link.drwillo.com/Strava • YouTube: https://link.drwillo.com/youtube • Instagram: https://link.drwillo.com/instagram • Facebook: https://link.drwillo.com/facebook • Listen to our podcast: https://www.performanceadvantagepodcast.com • Getting coaching with Dr Will: https://link.drwillo.com/pacoaching • Sign-up for the Endurance Training Hub https://link.drwillo.com/endurancetraininghub Edited by Rycopene: https://www.youtube.com/Rycopene

So far I've lost almost 3kg since starting my #keto diet over four weeks ago. Keto running can be a great runners diet for weight loss, but keto can also harm your running performance. I showed this when I ran a 37min 10km in ketosis. The trick to running on a keto diet is to carbo-load before your race or hard training sessions. Train low race high. 01:11 Post Race Feels 01:47 Race Analysis #10kmrun #running #sportscience #marathon #ultrarunning LINKS • Strava: https://link.drwillo.com/Strava • YouTube: https://link.drwillo.com/youtube • Instagram: https://link.drwillo.com/instagram • Facebook: https://link.drwillo.com/facebook • Listen to our podcast: https://www.performanceadvantagepodckast.com • Getting coaching with Dr Will: https://link.drwillo.com/pacoaching • Sign-up for the Endurance Training Hub https://link.drwillo.com/endurancetraininghub Edited by Rycopene: https://www.youtube.com/Rycopene

#Carbs aren't the devil. Using a strategic approach to your carbohydrate intake during a ketogenic diet can ensure you get optimal training and maximise your fat burning capacity. #keto running is an effective way to optimize your fat burning while running, but it comes at a cost. While on a keto diet, it can be hard to complete high-intensity training which is important in any running programme.

Ketosis can be amazing for optimizing fat metabolism, sparing glycogen and improving body composition. However, as I showed in my "10km in Ketosis" video, ketosis is not the best metabolic state for optimal performance, and optimal performance should be any athletes goal. Carb'ing or carbo-loading every few days on a keto diet can work well to maintain the benefits of ketosis while not exposing yourself to the negative effects of depleted glycogen.

Ssssh don't tell anyone it's water! Fact 1. You decrease glycogen (stored carbohydrate) on a keto diet. Fact 2. 1g of glycogen is paired with 3g of water. Fact 3. Ketosis has a diuretic effect. Fact 4. Ketogenic diet increases the utilisation of fat. Simple maths can explain a lot of the initial weight loss people experience on a keto diet, but not all of it. Some weight loss can be attributed to fat loss.

You don't need to be in ketosis to be a good fat burner. The level of ketones in your blood (beta-hydroxybutyrate) is the product of a metabolic process. More doesn't mean better. The goal for a ketogenic diet, concerning endurance exercise, should be to increase your muscles ability to burn fat. Often, the upshot of increase fat burning is an improvement in body composition (loss of body fat). However, that can also be related to the fact you can't eat sugar and be in ketosis. Not eating sugar alone may give you the same results.

You can only push your body so far. I knew doing a 10km running race one week into ketosis would be a struggle, but I was optimistic I would have enough glycogen to see me through. That was not the situation I found myself. I did start a bit fast, but I didn't start so fast as to explain a decline to 4:15min/km @ 189bpm.

Can you compete on a Ketosis (Keto) diet? Endurance sports and carbohydrates have gone hand in hand for decades, but that doesn't make it right. Carbohydrate can help you perform better, but so can fat. Ketosis is a metabolic state in which "the body" makes an alternate fuel to compensate for lack of available carbohydrate. To achieve ketosis, you must almost eliminate carbohydrate from your diet. So is a keto diet for endurance athletes effective? Yes, but you need to include carbs at the appropriate time ensure you perform optimally. #keto #ketorunner #lowcarb LINKS • YouTube: https://link.drwillo.com/youtube • Instagram: https://link.drwillo.com/instagram • Facebook: https://link.drwillo.com/facebook • Listen to our podcast: https://anchor.fm/performanceadvantage • Getting coaching with Dr Will: https://link.drwillo.com/pacoaching • Sign-up for the Endurance Training Hub https://link.drwillo.com/endurancetraininghub Edited by Rycopene: https://www.youtube.com/Rycopene

Starting my day with a 16:58min 5km Parkrun before heading to the athletics track at 8pm for an overnight 8hr ultramarathon. I found night running to be a very peaceful time. I was hyper aware of my thoughts and body without any other stimulus other than my headlight.

I looked into the data from my 4hr track marathon. Because I was wearing a heart rate monitor and a Stryd running power meter, I was able to figure out that although my heart rate was increasing my running form wasn't decaying. That's good news! The bad news is I need to figure out what happens with my form and fatigue after 4hrs. Next up will be an 8hr run around the track 😫.

I just brought a blood lactate meter and did my first test to determine my lactate threshold. Now that I know my lactate threshold is around 3:30min/km I need to figure out how long I can last at 3:30min/km which is going to be super important for my upcoming marathon, and ultramarathon.

My first test run is done. You can see my Strava file here https://www.strava.com/activities/3709111153. Everything went as planned. I didn't get too bored or tired, so I'm a lot more confident that I can do at least 200km on November 14th. Next up will be an 8hr test run in a few weeks.

Measuring the intensity of hill reps is almost impossible. Heart rate is slow to react and pace can hard to judge. Running power is a super useful tool to add to your running toolkit. You can use a running power meter (Stryd, Garmin HRMrun, etc..) to monitor your effort on hills because you can compare your power output with a flat running pace. If your running threshold is 4min/km and that equates to 300 Watts (the unit of power) you can run threshold hill repeats at 300W and know it's equivalent to 4min/km on the flat. #runningpower #running #marathon Listen to our podcast: https://www.performanceadvantagepodcast.com/ LINKS • YouTube: https://link.drwillo.com/youtube • Instagram: https://link.drwillo.com/instagram • Facebook: https://link.drwillo.com/facebook • Getting coaching with Dr Will: https://link.drwillo.com/pacoaching • Sign-up for the Endurance Training Hub https://link.drwillo.com/endurancetraininghub Edited by Rycopene: https://www.youtube.com/Rycopene

Overtraining is a blanket term that describes an athletes training state in which stress has occurred without adequate rest. Overtraining can occur from more than just physical. There is also social and psychological stress too. Acute or short term overtraining can be remedied with a few days on the couch, whereas chronic or long term overtraining can take months and sometimes even years to fully recover.

It's a bitter pill to swallow. As someone who should know better, it hurts me to be in this position. As an athlete, I'm no different from any other motivated individual striving to push their physical and mental limits. Having the mental strength to train when you're tired and unmotivated can be a double-edged sword. You can push yourself to achieve physical feats you never thought possible, but you can also push yourself over the edge into the overtraining zone. It's a fine balance.

Time Trials (TT) are a great chance to test yourself. As a default, athletes immediately think of the time as the only measure that matters. However, a TT can offer up an opportunity for you to test your athlete values. 8 out of 10 TTs aren't going to generate personal bests, so focusing solely on the time outcome will inevitably end in disappointment. Focusing on your athlete values can allow you to feel that sense of achievement even when the you're a little off your goal time. Athlete values are the traits you want to display as an athlete. Examples are; tough, aggressive, strong, relaxed, calm, confident, never gives up, committed. Trying to display these traits within a TT can give you a goal you can achieve even when your time is a little off.

Putting together my plan for run-walk PB at Rotorua Marathon. When you start to breakdown the numbers of run-walk, there's more to it than meets the eye. Walking too often can mean you need to run too fast to make up for the "lost time". However, if you don't walk often enough, you'll negate the benefits of run-walk.

I'm bringing the run-walk marathon back to try to beat my 2:39 marathon PB. The run-walk method is nothing new to running, and a lot of its notoriety can be credited to legendary running coach Jeff Galloway. However, I struggled to find scientific reasoning behind the run-walk method as well as any data on runners going under 3 hours using this method. Personally, I have successfully used the run-walk method to run a 2:45 marathon and 8hr 38min 100km.
