Link of the Day: Podcast — Iñigo San Millán, Ph.D.: Mitochondria, exercise, and metabolic health
This is the best podcast I’ve heard in the last year — at least. It was recommended to me by ALTIS Head Coach, Dan Pfaff.
Dr. Millán is brilliant. He’s primarily focused on better understanding the link between mitochondrial health and cancer in his day-to-day research. But his affinity for endurance sports and the implication of further understanding how better mitochondrial health can positively impact performance is an asset for any endurance coach.
Here’s a Millán quote from the podcast:
“What I have been seeing for 25 years, working with elite athletes, is that [Zone 2] is the exercise intensity where I see the biggest improvement in fat burning and the biggest improvement in lactic clearance capacity. Therefore, that means that the mitochondria is where you see the biggest improvement.” — Iñigo San Millán, Ph.D.
Have a pen and pad ready, if you’re like me, you’re going to be taking a lot of notes.
Enjoy. | jm
