Makayla’s Reviews > Running Smart: How Science Can Improve Your Endurance and Performance > Status Update

VO2 max is highly dependent on genetics (~50% heritable, plus factors like sex, weight, height, etc.).
Interactions of biomechanics, oxygen &fat metabolism, and running economy are intriguing but under-explored in this particular chapter.

Dose dependence differs for mortality reduction vs running performance (moderate activity maximizing mortality reduction, although “sitting is the worst thing you can do in terms of living longer”).
Realized at this point that the subtitle is about “Endurance and performance “. Why did I think it was just about overuse injuries? Oops. Still a good book, but I’m less interested in the latter half.

Really interesting chapter. I don’t really run, and I wouldn’t have thought to include stomach issues in a book about running injuries, but it makes sense in hindsight and I’m findings it informative/intriguing. I definitely would be interested in learning more about intestinal physio and exercise.
