Listener Q&A:

As compiled, deciphered, edited and sometimes read by Rachel Browne, the NEW Podcast Sidekick.

How To Rebuild Fitness Fast

Sean says: He was recently diagnosed with Lyme disease and he's wondering what the best way to rebuild your fitness and strength after an injury or health issue and how to track your recovery?

Is Underwater Breath Holding Dangerous? (And How To Avoid Shallow Water Blackouts)

Dundee says: He's been seeing a lot of articles condemning the practice of doing laps while holding your breath. He's concerned by all the 'bad press' about the practice and the articles that are highlighting the risk of black outs. He knows you're a proponent of that kind of training, what's your take on this?

How To Stop Receding Hairline

Darrell says: He loves the show and always has. He's been training for 10 years + at a high intensity and in the past three years he's noticed as his training intensity and load has increased his hair has slowly diminished and where he used to have a massive afro, he now has a receding hair line. He thinks it might have something to do with the amount of stress he's putting his body under, what are your thoughts?
