Dan Plews: Coaching Patience, Heart Rate Variability & Enjoying the Process
Manage episode 293966379 series 2712188
On episode 52 I speak with Dr. Dan Plews, researcher, sports scientist, physiologist and Ironman Kona age group recorder holder with a time of 8 hours 24 minutes. Impressive. Dan was one of the first people I found as I started learning about triathlon and I love his approach to training, nutrition and learning. He not only talks the talk, but walks the walk which is surprisingly uncommon in the health and science industry. He shares his insights into low carb diets for endurance training, some basics on how to set up your training and how to maintain the enjoyment in training and triathlon. We speak about the importance of structure in your life and how Dan gets that from triathlon, how he coach’s patience in his athletes and why Atomic Habits is the best book for everyone. We also dive into one of his focuses, Heart Rate Variability, and how to use it to guide training, recovery and more.
