Hey everyone, quick preview of this weekend’s Stimulus Matters episode. Ryne and I hit record in the middle of a conversation that started with a personal “side quest” of mine (weightlifting, running, weight cuts) and quickly turned into a much bigger discussion on season prep. We dig into what happens when multiple coaches are involved, why oversight and constraints matter more than having the “perfect” program, and how coaching actually changes once the Open and Quarterfinals are on the calendar. We also talk chronic vs acute volume, borrowing concepts from strength training for conditioning progressions, using the Open as a bridge instead of something to coast through, and how programming decisions need to shift based on athlete level and resilience.

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all doing well! Does anyone have recommended materials about the conjugate method for CF training? I tried to search online and there are a lot of information already but I don' know where to start with. For example: 1. What does the max effort in conjugate training normally means? 2. How does then conjugate method apply to different types of CF athletes? I'd highly vote for having one of the office hour or the Stimulus Podcast discussing this topic. Cheers!
