Robust mitochondria more resistant to sepsis?
Lactic acid is a hallmark of sepsis - used for diagnosis and treatment progress. Would cyclists, swimmers, marathoners with robust metabolic function - higher oxidative metabolism and lactic acid utilization (clearance) thresholds be more resistant to sepsis? Reason would suggest they would. Curious if your team or Inigo San-Millan has any insight on this.
Zone 2 and Zone 5 cardio and resistance training balance
Peter and many esteemed exercise physiology guests and professional trainers have spoken in-depth regarding the profound benefits of incorporating Zone 2 base training, periodic Zone 5 anaerobic training, and resistance/strength training into a well designed "centenarian Olympics" training routine. In my 5th decade in being all in on this ! More often than occasionally, it is evident that the performance in the Zone 2 and Zone 5 sessions, as measured by watts/kg (not using lactate measurements), is limited by recent resistance training muscle soreness. Are there any protocols for discussion, training schedule, timing of workouts, Peter's favorite phrase - hacks etc.. that could mitigate this performance impact ?
Exercise Before Bed
Hello, I'm very curious about Peter's thoughts on exercise before bed. He may well have addressed this before (apologies!) but I've seen so much conflicting guidance I don't know what to think. Sometimes, night is the only change I get - in those times, should I do it, or is the harm to my sleep not worth the benefit from the exercise? Or is that a leading question, does it even harm your sleep? Thanks!
