In this episode, we're joined by renowned sports scientist and researcher, Dr. Franco Impellizzeri, for a deep dive into the complex world of training load. Dr. Impellizzeri discusses his journey in sports science and helps us cut through the confusion surrounding a core concept of training: training load. We break down the crucial distinction between external load (the physical work you do, like weight on the bar or distance run) and internal load (your body's unique physiological and psychological response to that work). You'll learn why measuring both is essential for effective programming and long-term progress. Whether you’re a coach, an athlete, or just someone looking to optimize your training, this episode will provide a new framework for thinking about stress, adaptation, and the road to smarter, safer gains.
