Can lifting weights alone keep you healthy for life? Or is cardio the real missing link? In this episode, Noah sits down with hybrid athlete Alec Blenis to dive deep into the role of cardiovascular training in health, performance, and longevity. They unpack the myths around zone 2, VO₂ max, and “anti-fragile” training, while highlighting why aerobic conditioning may be the single strongest predictor of lifespan. Whether you’re a coach, clinician, or just someone who wants to train smarter, this conversation will challenge assumptions and give you practical takeaways for a more resilient body.
