Strategies for Maximizing Performance during Endurance Events
2:08:10 - 2:13:50 (05:39)
When striving to achieve peak performance during endurance activities, it's important to focus on breathing, heart rate, and glycogen stores. For longer events, running out of muscle or liver glycogen can become a concern.

Endurance exercise is not just about making sure you have enough fuel, but also about waste management, fatigue resistance, and energy production, all of which are related to breathing and oxygen intake.

Summary
Endurance exercise is not just about making sure you have enough fuel, but also about waste management, fatigue resistance, and energy production, all of which are related to breathing and oxygen intake. Unless you're moving incredibly fast for a long time, endurance is not a game of fuel, but rather oxygen management.

The strategy for maximizing performance depends on the duration of exercise.

Summary
The strategy for maximizing performance depends on the duration of exercise. During a 20-second maximal burst, muscle glycogen saturation may not be very helpful as limitation comes from the ability to buffer acid; for longer endurance events, it is important to have enough muscle and liver glycogen, and supplementation should target the actual limiting factor.
