Episode 200 🎉 Eccentric Training, Muscle Soreness, and What Actually Drives Adaptation with Prof Ken Nosaka, Prof Paul Laursen & Dr Martin Buchheit

Episode 200 marks a major milestone for us, and we celebrate it with someone who played a foundational role in our journey. Professor Ken Nosaka joins us to reflect on how eccentric training research shaped modern training practice and brought our paths together.

We revisit the early ECU years, then dive deep into what Ken’s research has taught us about muscle soreness, muscle damage, the repeated bout effect, and how adaptation really works. This episode blends history, science, and real world coaching insights that still shape how we train today.
