313. Marathons v. Ultras, Fatigue Resistance Debates, Gene Editing Breakthrough, and Posture Impact on Blood Volume!

6/2/20261 hr 34 min

We put some cinder blocks under the head of our bed (for science!) before this great episode. A weird study just came out finding that head-up sleeping may increase red blood cell totals. We talk about what it means and what it doesn’t mean. Excuse us while we launch a cinderblock start-up.

We also discussed a breakthrough in gene editing for cholesterol, and what that could mean for the future. The world is going to be so different in 50 years! Maybe by then, David can use CRISPR to be able to pronounce science words. 

And this one was full of fun topics! Other topics: our training log discussions, iron levels in athletes, breaking news on heat training from Unbound 200, a science debate on fatigue resistance terminology, and a study on glucose v. fructose.

Plus, we answer questions on heat training in the car, clean sport for age group athletes, marathon v. ultra training, and health uncertainty.

You’re going to learn a lot about what Megan would do for 40 grams of carbs. Totally normal stuff if you ask her!

We love you all! HUZZAH!

-David and Megan

  1. Megan Roche· Host0:00

    Woo.

  2. David Roche· Host0:01

    Welcome to the Some Work All Play podcast. We are so happy to be with you today.

  3. Megan Roche· Host0:04

    Happy Tuesday.

  4. David Roche· Host0:05

    It's Tuesday.

  5. Megan Roche· Host0:05

    And I'm refreshing my training logs on this Tuesday.

  6. David Roche· Host0:08

    Oh, shit, training logs. Yeah, we're doing that.

  7. Megan Roche· Host0:10

    I'm refreshing all the time for yours.

  8. David Roche· Host0:12

    [laughs] Oh, yeah.

  9. Megan Roche· Host0:12

    You bring me so much joy in your training logs.

  10. David Roche· Host0:14

    [laughs] What do you mean by that?

  11. Megan Roche· Host0:15

    Um, I update it all the time because your updates in there are fire. [laughs] They're so good, they're so funny. Also, it's like 24 ways to get you canceled.

  12. David Roche· Host0:23

    [laughs] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I'm just trying to make you laugh every day.

  13. Megan Roche· Host0:26

    You really do.

  14. David Roche· Host0:27

    [laughs] And I'm giving you, like, ammo if we ever go to divorce court.

  15. Megan Roche· Host0:30

    Yeah.

  16. David Roche· Host0:31

    [laughs] You're gonna just be able to be like, "Here's the training log, and it- Look what he's writing. Yeah, the judge is gonna be like, "Yes, you are the brains of the operation, for sure."

  17. Megan Roche· Host0:38

    We should maybe put a security code on it just so no one hacks into it.

  18. David Roche· Host0:41

    Oh, yeah.

  19. Megan Roche· Host0:42

    I mean, there's... I mean, it's legitimately 24 ways to get you canceled.

  20. David Roche· Host0:44

    [laughs] That's actually very true.

  21. Megan Roche· Host0:46

    Yeah.

  22. David Roche· Host0:46

    [laughs] Have you read about the Claude Mythos, their new model that they leaked out to just some people to show, oh, wait, all of your security is not adequate for this next generation of model? I've panicked about that a lot because I'm that type of guy that uses the same password for everything, as you know.

  23. Megan Roche· Host1:02

    Same, yes.

  24. David Roche· Host1:03

    Yeah.

  25. Megan Roche· Host1:03

    [laughs] And both of ours are very guessable.

  26. David Roche· Host1:05

    [laughs] Yeah, and we basically use the same passwords as each other, so we're very, very hackable. That's actually scary. Why are we putting this on the podcast, Megan?

  27. Megan Roche· Host1:12

    Yeah, [laughs] I know. I was like- This is your fault ... [laughs] I was like, someone's, someone's gonna try this out there.

  28. David Roche· Host1:17

    Oh, no.

  29. Megan Roche· Host1:17

    That's scary. [laughs] Yeah.

  30. David Roche· Host1:18

    Well, hopefully no one has Claude Mythos access that's listening to this podcast. But it is so fun to be in your training log as you come back to a 11-hour training week last week.

  31. Megan Roche· Host1:26

    Yeah, coming back from my heart feeling good.

  32. David Roche· Host1:29

    Yeah.

  33. Megan Roche· Host1:29
