Professor at California State University, Fullerton and Host of Perform with Dr. Andy Galpin
Excited to share this week’s episode of my podcast — Perform with Dr. Andy Galpin! This episode is packed with practical tips for improving your VO2 max and endurance to prevent disease, promote longevity, and enhance overall health and performance. I cover the essentials for creating an effective endurance training program, including: - General conditioning - Warm-ups and cool-downs - Tissue tolerance and recovery - Injury prevention - Maximizing training time Additionally, I introduce two comprehensive training programs for all levels: - Metamorphosis by Joel Jamieson: Focused on increasing your VO2 max. - Faster in 50 by Dan Garner: A fifty-day marathon training plan. You'll learn about the methodologies behind these programs, such as resistance and endurance training elements, building volume and intensity, reps/sets, breathing techniques, and how to track your progress. Whether you're aiming to develop your own endurance program or you're a coach designing programs for athletes, this episode has valuable insights for you. Drop your questions in the comments below, and I’ll do my best to respond!
Do you think Apple Watches are accurate at tracking the VO2 max?
I can't wait to start listening with a notepad and a pen ready!

I’d love to see a colab or an interview with Scott Johnston of Evoke Endurance. He has a great YouTube series on “the physiology of endurance”
