Show Notes

Are you training too hard—or not hard enough? In this episode of the Find Your Edge podcast, Coach Chris Newport breaks down heart rate training zones, why common formulas like “220 minus age” miss the mark, and how VO₂ max and lactate testing can dramatically improve your performance, fat burning, and longevity.

You’ll learn:

  • Why Zone 2 training is so powerful
  • How VO₂ max and ventilatory thresholds work
  • What lactate testing actually tells us
  • Why heart rate zones change by sport
  • How proper testing saves time and boosts results

Whether you’re an endurance athlete or simply want to train smarter, this episode will help you unlock more effective and enjoyable workouts.
