Podcast Guest “It's a long road” is the ergophysiologist, runner and coach Nikos Dimitriadis. Nikos is a graduate of the Gymnastics Academy of Athens (TEFAA) with a master's degree in England in the subject of Exercise Physiology with an emphasis on middle and long distance endurance.
Nikos is a graduate of the Gymnastics Academy of Athens (TEFAA) with a master's degree in England in the subject of Exercise Physiology with an emphasis on middle and long distance endurance.
The greatest distinction in his coaching career was the Gold Medal at the 2004 Olympic Games with the athlete Athanasia Tsoumeleka, the Silver Medal at the Pan-European Games in Holland in Track Cycling (2011) with the athlete Christos Volikakis, and the 4th place at the 2012 Olympic Games. with the Russian National Sailing Team, (Skudina Ekaterina Team).
He deals with the measurement and training of athletes and athletes. His scientific interests are training at altitude and the effect of carbohydrates on physical performance. He was an 800m athlete. in the past, while in recent years he has been running Marathon races.
Today he is the head of the myathlete Sports Center with the ability to combine and transfer theoretical knowledge of exercise physiology to daily training. He masterfully handles the science of training to improve physical condition from high Olympic level athletes to amateur beginners of all sports.
We will have an interesting discussion with Nikos, after we will refer to ergometry, which is aimed at it and its roles in athletes' performances, he himself will analyze various technical terms concerning endurance and Vo2max, while we will also talk about other interesting topics that concern amateur runners.
Podcast Interview Highlights “It's a long road” with the runner, ergophysiologist and coach Nikos Dimitriadis.
04:20 Niko what exactly is o ergophysiologist;
05:25 Every now and then is good to do ergometric test;
07:25 Basically, how is the work measurement done and how much does it cost?
08:58 What preparation should we do before the work measurement;
09:13 In addition to the measurements by hallway others are also made measurements;
10:45 What results do we get from the work measurement and how can we use them?
12:10 So we can see through an ergometric and in which speed we will be able to run one Marathon for example;
13:20 What exactly is the term "threshold»?
16:10 Why is it important to know her VO2max and VVO2max;
18:50 For endurance athletes it is desirable to threshold speed be as close as possible to the maximum speed of the test?
20:00 How do these two parameters (VO2max and VVO2max) improve?
23:00 It is necessary to heart rate monitor;
26:08 What do I mean by the term traffic economy;
27:40 Is the ergometer also aimed at amateur runners?
31:05 Let's say I'm an amateur runner but without a coach, but I want to improve. Is it worth doing a performance appraisal? Can an analysis be done by you and some guidelines given so that I can improve?
34:20 It is to run a race Marathon for example. How do we know or how can we find out when and how many gels we need? What do the energy ones help with? gels;
37:50 How important is our weight to our performance?
41:05 It's worth it carb loading before a target match?
43:00 the pre-race hydration makes sense 2 to 3 days before we start drinking enough fluids with electrolytes like some isotonic drinks?
3 questions from listeners of the show:
47:30 "Without any heart problem and after several years of doing long distances at the age of 45, I cannot exceed 170 max during training or competition, even momentarily during intervals of intensity, while at the same time I see my peers and even older people endure at 170+ pulses average in long time burdens eg for a whole half-marathon or even a marathon.
How can someone endure running 170 pulses for 30 km in the competitive zone, that is, while the tempo zone is below you? Does he do better rested? Does it go with more carbs and does it hold up? Because we are more or less the same age. One is not 20 and the other is 50 and the different in the average heart rate in the race is huge whenever it is not a normal human deviation.
——————————————————
54:10 I would be particularly interested to hear from an expert, more about the physiology of the body (energy release mechanisms, diaphragmatic breathing, etc.)
—————————————————-
56:00 I'd like to ask a question about running. We see runners as each running in a different style/way. Sometimes you're happy to see them, and sometimes you wonder how it goes like this. (I belong to the 2nd group). When I started running, I thought it was just putting one foot behind the other and off we went. But along the way I realized that it is not like that at all. How can we improve our steps, our posture? Is there a correct/ideal way to run? Does it hurt us if we don't run right? I will be very happy if at some point an expert can solve my questions in one of your episodes.
——————————————————
01:03:55 A question that all runners ask is: "How long will it take to see the results of my exercise?". What do you have to say;
01:06:25 At Myathete what services are offered and do you also guide and coach runners?
