The Vet Show – Ep. 13 Featuring James Jetmar
In Episode 13 of The Vet Show, Coach Robb Beams welcomes veteran rider and professional pilot James Jetmar to explore how data-driven tools and strategies help him train, recover, and compete at a high level despite a demanding travel schedule. The conversation dives into Jetmar’s use of Garmin technology—specifically the HRM Pro chest strap, sleep tracking, and daily weigh-ins—to monitor training load, stress, and recovery. Emphasizing the importance of balancing effort with recovery, Coach Robb and James discuss using heart rate zones, calorie burn metrics, and hydration status to prevent overtraining and optimize performance, even with limited time.
Jetmar shares how expanding into sprint enduro and off-road racing has kept competition enjoyable and reduced common stressors like first-turn crashes. His cross-training routine includes mountain biking, Spartan races, and gravel events, highlighting the athletic versatility that moto riders often develop. Coach Robb outlines actionable recovery strategies using Energy Fuel, Recovery Fuel, and clean travel nutrition to support long-term performance.
Show Takeaways:
► Track your stress levels with Garmin metrics to manage recovery and prevent burnout in vet moto athletes.
► Monitor heart rate zones using the HRM Pro chest strap for accurate training intensity and improved lactate tolerance.
► Weigh yourself morning and night to detect hydration levels, inflammation, and recovery patterns.
► Use Energy Fuel and Recovery Fuel to match intensity and duration—essential for motocross hydration and recovery.
► Focus on deep sleep quality, not just duration—track with Garmin to boost testosterone and HGH production.
► Train smarter, not harder—learn how to control intensity using heart rate-based performance testing.
► Avoid overtraining by adjusting your plan based on real-time metrics like HRV, sleep, and stress scores.
► Stay fueled on the road—choose clean meals over fast food and carry travel-friendly recovery snacks.
► Get blood work every 3–4 months to catch fatigue and nutrient deficiencies before performance declines.
