Listen "26. Chris Wissman on Maintaining Peak Performance as a Real Human"
Episode Synopsis
Chris Wissman is co-founder and Director of Fitness Programs at Real Human Performance here in Cincinnati.
Chris considers himself more of a holistic health coach than a personal trainer. His approach to health and fitness is a lot like mine – it’s not just about lifting weights or eating right, there’s so much more going on. In order to get to your ideal body weight and maintain peak performance, you have to consider the whole human.
In this interview, we discuss…
What the “chronic cardio” cycle is and what runners need to do to break out of it
Why you should add in some high-intensity workouts like sprinting
How running slower will help you to run faster
Sugar-burning vs. fat-burning and the benefits of becoming a fat-adapted runner
What happens when you don’t get enough sleep
The importance of managing stress as an athlete
Why you might want to rethink sucking down all those energy gels during a race
Intermittent fasting and the surprising benefits of working out in a fasted state
Why elite athletes practice periodization and why you should too
And so much more!
Chris is an all-around awesome human and a good friend. I think you’re going to dig this conversation!
