Neural Effects of Endurance Training & Natural Movement Systems | Nervous System Training Ep. 12

🎙️ Episode 12 — Nervous System Training Podcast

Endurance athletes are breaking down. Natural movers are getting weird. Let’s break it all down.
In this episode, we explore how the nervous system handles long-distance endurance efforts, and whether the latest “natural movement” systems are actually helping athletes adapt — or just making things more chaotic.

From ultramarathons to tree climbing barefoot, we break down training styles from Carlos Condit, Leo Primal, and Conor McGregor’s Ido Portal era — and what really matters when it comes to resilience, variability, and long-term movement health.

• Why VO2 max isn’t the full story in endurance

• How nervous system fatigue sneaks up on high-output athletes

• What natural movement systems actually train

• Barefoot training, Animal Flow, and movement chaos

• The difference between adaptation and aesthetics
