Angela meets Paul Larsen, a former triathlete and expert in high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and fat metabolism, who shares his journey from competitive sports to academia, detailing his extensive research and work with Olympic programs in Australia and New Zealand.

Together they examine the importance of understanding training stress versus life stress, the benefits of zone 2 training for recovery and fat metabolism, and how wearable technology can optimise training plans

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Zone 2 Training Benefits:
  Builds fat metabolism, supports recovery, boosts immune health, and regulates hormones.

• HRV and Stress:
  Heart rate variability (HRV) reveals the impact of life and training stress, guiding better recovery practices.

• Balanced Training:
  Weekly workouts should include Zone 1/2 for recovery, HIIT for VO2 max, and strength work to maintain muscle health.

• Fat Burning for Longevity:
  Low-intensity activities like walking reduce cortisol and improve fat-burning efficiency.

• Nutrition and Sleep:
  Both are essential to recovery and performance—focus on whole foods and prioritise rest.
