On this week's episode of the MOTTIV podcast, Taren and Sport Scientist Nick Jankovskis dive into the concept of 80-20 training.  What exactly IS 80-20 training, and is it the be-all and end-all to training for endurance sports?  Or is there a more nuanced method that will get better results?  We answer all of the questions you probably have!

On this episode of the MOTTIV podcast, Taren and Sport Scientist Nick Jankovskis discuss hybrid training and so-called hybrid athletes.  Can you really be a body builder and at the same time, be a high-level endurance athlete?  We take a deep dive into what the science tells us about what the human body is actually capable of... and whether influencer "hybrid athletes" are telling the truth about what they're doing.

In this episode of the MOTTIV podcast, Taren and MOTTIV resident Sport Scientist Nick Jankovskis discuss the battle between low carb and high carb in endurance sports.
