Our favorite Dane, Mads Taersboel, joins us for a conversation covering a wide range of topics. Andreas has just completed his first LT1 session, and it’s clear that running plays a key role in his overall well-being. We dive into the ongoing debate about Bryan Johnson’s obsession with VO2 max and discuss why his olive oil doesn’t deserve the hate it gets.Victor is gearing up for his major races, and we talk about how Mads is adjusting his training and managing the tapering process to avoid disrupting his homeostasis. We also explore the benefits of occasionally doing long training sessions, and what is the reason when Mads leaves the decision of one particularly long session each year in the hands of his girlfriend.
