Interval Training Science: Dr. Véronique Billat’s Pioneering Research Explained

In this episode of the Fast Talk Podcast by Fast Talk Labs, Trevor Connor and Rob Pickels dive deep into the groundbreaking interval training research of Dr. Véronique Billat — one of the most influential physiologists in endurance training history. Billat’s work helped define how interval workouts influence aerobic adaptation, VO₂ max, lactate dynamics, and training prescription, and this Nerd Lab episode revisits her seminal studies and practical takeaways for athletes and coaches alike. 🧠 In this episode, you’ll learn: • How Billat’s research shaped modern interval training theory • Why short intervals like 15/15s and 30/30s can produce more time near VO₂ max • Differences between short intervals, longer intervals, and very long intervals • How interval intensity, recovery style, and metabolic factors influence training adaptation • The role of lactate thresholds and VO₂ max in endurance performance • Practical physiological insights coaches can apply to real training plans 🎯 Whether you’re a coach seeking to base workouts on science or an athlete looking to understand why certain interval protocols work better than others, this episode brings clarity and context to foundational research that continues to inform training today. 👉 Subscribe to Fast Talk Labs for weekly science-backed insights on endurance performance, physiology, training, and more. 🔗 More at https://www.fasttalklabs.com Fast Talk Labs is your source for the science of endurance performance—cycling training, physiology, recovery, nutrition, and data-driven coaching tips to help athletes of all levels get faster.
