 * 3:30 academic papers in the time of COVID
   * How can we see so many studies with such fast turn-around times when it typically takes months to get a paper published
   * Utility overrides rigor in some cases
 * 16:00 the fluid mechanics of disease transmission
 * 17:30 Sean’s thoughts on the now-famous Dutch / Belgian analysis of COVID spread during running and cycling [https://medium.com/@jurgenthoelen/belgian-dutch-study-why-in-times-of-covid-19-you-can-not-walk-run-bike-close-to-each-other-a5df19c77d08] as published on Medium.
 * 20:30 the risks of transmission when training  indoor vs outdoor
   * Outdoors, there is a lot of air mixing, diluting the concentration of viral particles in the airflow
   * Indoors, the air is stagnant and transmission is much easier
 * 28:00 Sean’s study of the efficacy of athlete cooling in hot and humid environments
   * Subjects cycled at 60-70% of FTP under 30C and 70% humidity for 45 minutes
   * Cooling accomplished by exposing the inner forearm to a temperature of 5C
   * Test group saw a mitigation in core body temperature rise by 0.5C / hou compared with control group
   * RPE also lower under cooled conditions vs control
 * 43:00 the possible difference in the effect of cooling between males and females
 * 46:30 the reason why repeated tests are not common in engineering or physiology
   * Funding and publishing incentives discourage non-novel studies
 * 51:00 Michael’s least favourite experimental setup
 * 52:45 DRDC study torture story
 * 54:00 academic funding

Endurance Innovation examines the technology, science, and engineering shaping modern endurance sport. Each episode features a focused conversation with researchers, coaches, and industry practitioners working in areas such as cycling aerodynamics, triathlon equipment, performance modeling, training science, biomechanics, and data analysis.

Rather than speculation or trend-driven commentary, the show emphasizes evidence-based methods and practical applications for athletes and coaches across cycling, triathlon, and other long-course disciplines. Topics include aerodynamic testing, cooling, running and cycling performance, endurance nutrition, training strategies, and the tools that support both high-performance and age-group athletes.

New episodes are released periodically.
