• Top Episode Replay: Alistair Brownlee - His Training and Science Application Philosophy

  Top Episode Replay 2x Olympic Gold Medalist, Triathlete extraordinair Alistair Brownlee 🏆. As a 15-year old, Alistair Brownlee got a physiology book from his father 📖. Influence from that book and his coaches helped Alistair go on to become one of the greatest triathletes in recent years.Yet he is modest as they come and attests much of his success to the “boring”💤 parts of training - training lots and recovering well.Things like getting LOTS OF SLEEP 🛌🏾, doing lots of rather repetitive EASY and long training sessions, casually figuring out POLARISED TRAINING (almost) by himself, as well as looking after yourself in terms of nutrition and other aspects of life.   In fact, what some might call “wellbeing” or “wellness” nowadays 😃.In our 4th Episode on the Training Science Podcast, we discuss how and when Alistair got into ENDURANCE TRAINING, triathlon, and how he managed to keep the fire 🔥 going for this long despite his rather young age (yet long training age!).Plus, a hot announcement 💣 of how Alistair will work more closely with us in the future! _____________________ Today’s speakers:Prof. Paul Laursen https://www.paullaursen.comAlistair Brownlee https://thebrownleebrothers.com/_____________________ References:Sub7 Sub8 Project https://www.sub7sub8.com/A.Brownlee “Relentless: Secrets of the Sporting Elite” https://tinyurl.com/ABbookRelentless

• PART 2: Workout Reserve and the Future of AI Coaching - with Dr Andrea Zignoli & Prof. Paul Laursen

  💥 Dr. Andrea Zignoli wants you to understand that Workout Reserve is not just another performance metric—it’s a breakthrough in how we track and interpret what athletes can actually do in real time.In Part 2 of this deep-dive on the Training Science Podcast, Andrea and Paul explore why traditional models like W′ fall short, and how Workout Reserve offers a more flexible, mechanical (not physiological) way to understand athlete capability. Plus, they tackle the future of AI coaching—how RAG-AI and Large Language Models are reshaping how athletes and coaches engage with data.📊 Why Workout Reserve works when W′ doesn’t⚙️ How mechanical models sidestep physiological guesswork⏱️ Real-time fatigue, durability, and “limiting tau” explained🧠 The future of AI coaching: RAG-AI, LLMs, and agents in training platforms— #WorkoutReserve #TrainingScience #AIinSports #EnduranceTraining #PerformanceModelling #Durability #SportsScience #AthleticaAI #WPrime #RealTimeTraining #AIcoaching #Cycling #Running_____________________ Today’s speakers:Prof. Paul Laursen https://www.paullaursen.com/  Dr. Andrea Zignoli https://andreazignoli.github.io/ _____________________

• PART 1: Modelling First: Building Smarter Endurance Training - with Dr Andrea Zignoli & Prof. Paul Laursen

  💥 AI in COACHING & TRAINING – Revolutionizing Performance 🚀Dr. Andrea Zignoli wants you to understand that before AI can be useful in coaching and training, modelling must come first.In Episode 157 of The Training Science Podcast, Andrea returns to unpack how models like Critical Power, Banister TRIMP, and HRV response curves provide the structure AI needs to make smart, adaptable decisions. This is the foundation of Athletica’s AI-driven training—and why it matters now more than ever.🔍 Why “modelling first” beats black-box AI every time📊 Building with science: CP, TRIMP, MMP, and structured periodization🧠 How natural language AI (LLMs) are reshaping coach-athlete data interaction🧭 The GPS analogy that explains it all— #ModelFirst #AIinSports #TrainingScience #EnduranceTraining #AthleticaAI #WorkoutReserve #CriticalPower #HRV #BanisterModel #AIinCoaching #PerformanceMonitoring #Cycling #Running_____________________ Today’s speakers:Prof. Paul Laursen https://www.paullaursen.com/  Dr. Andrea Zignoli https://andreazignoli.github.io/ _____________________
