I had the opportunity to talk with Dr. Pat Davidson, and this time around we had a lot more time to discuss stress adaptations, bio-energetics, and of course PRI. Fortunately for you, we definitely went over our 30 minute allotted time slot that I attempted to preserve.
Here is the first 3 hour long podcast – Taking the Path Less Traveled – Episode 1 with Pat Davidson.
I’m also in the process of looking towards making this more audio-friendly for our commuter friends, as this video on Google Hangout can’t be accessed from a mobile device (as far as I know).
In any case, here are some notes I took during the second interview, and some of the books and authors we had to discuss.
I do not profit from these links in anyway. I would tell you otherwise. ;)
Books, Authors, and Courses Discussed
Vladimir Issurin – Block Periodization
