Energy Efficiency in Training
Willpower consumes valuable neural energy, often equal to the energy expended during physical training. Excessive decision-making can drain resources that could otherwise enhance performance. Engaging in long-duration, moderate-effort activities builds mitochondrial density, leading to greater efficiency and reduced fuel consumption over time.In this clip

Which has more benefit on brain performance for focusing longer: HIIT or long endurance runs, as discussed in the episode How To Build Endurance In Your Brain & Body | Huberman Lab Podcast #23 and the clip Energy Efficiency in Training?
Can you explain the 80/20 rule in endurance training as discussed in the episode How To Build Endurance In Your Brain & Body | Huberman Lab Podcast #23 and the clip Energy Efficiency in Training, where 80% of your running avoids the threshold that induces muscle burning, and 20% involves pushing past it to activate your brain's lactate system? How does this approach support brain health and cardiovascular efficiency?
