In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, I'm chatting with Vicky MacIntosh.Vicky is one of South Africa's leading HYROX athletes, a former CrossFit Games team competitor, and now an Elite 15 doubles athlete who has already secured her place at the 2026 HYROX World Championships. She also holds a 61-minute HYROX Pro PB and has quickly established herself as a serious contender on the global stage.In this conversation, we dive into:- How she rebuilt her aerobic base and dropped her zone 2 pace from 6:30/km to 4:45/km in a year- What her training week actually looks like- How she balances singles and doubles preparation- The strategy and transitions that helped her qualify for Elite 15- HRV tracking, lactate testing, and the tech guiding her training- Fuelling strategies for racing and recovery- The mindset shifts that have elevated her performanceIt's a great chat with a super impressive athlete at the top of the sport.
This audio overview, titled "Raise Your Ceiling or Raise the Roof," provides a deep dive into the Athletic Architecture model used by QT2 Systems to determine an athlete's ideal training focus. The episode explores the critical relationship between an athlete's sustainable threshold - their "ceiling" - and their absolute high-end capacity - their "roof". The discussion centers on how the ratio between Critical Power/Speed and power/speed at VO2 Max defines an athlete's physiological state and dictates which of two primary training paths will offer the highest return on training investment: Raising the Ceiling: The hosts explain that for athletes in an Anaerobic physiological state (ratio < 85%), the "attic space" is too large. In these cases, the priority is a Build/TH block designed to lift the ceiling closer to the roof, making more of the athlete's existing capacity usable for longer durations. Raising the Roof: Conversely, for athletes in an Aerobic physiological state (ratio > 88%), the "attic" has become a "crawl space," meaning the ceiling is pushed right against the roof. The hosts discuss how a VO2 Max block can be used as a targeted intervention to lift the absolute upper limit, thereby creating the necessary physical space for the threshold to grow in the future. Throughout the overview, the hosts emphasize the importance of intentional training. By using testing data to identify whether an athlete needs to focus on their sustainable potential (the ceiling) or their absolute capacity (the roof), coaches can avoid a "scattershot approach" and ensure that resources are not wasted training energy systems that are already well-developed. The episode concludes by reviewing how these physiological decisions fit into a broader framework that also considers practical factors like injury history and race proximity. *This audio overview is AI-generated off of QT2 Systems' knowledge-base of source materials.
Episode 212: Managing HFpEFHyo Mun and Jordan Redden (medical students) explain how to manage HFpEF with medications and touch some basics about nonpharmacologic treatments. Dr. Arreaza asks insightful questions to guide the discussion. Written by Hyo Mun, MSIV, American University of the Caribbean; and Jordan Redden, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine. Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Treatment of HFpEFArreaza: Mike, if you had to name the one therapy everyone with HFpEF should be on, what is it?Mike: That's easy! SGLT-2 inhibitors. This is the one slam-dunk we have in HFpEF. Empagliflozin (Jardiance) or dapagliflozin (Farxiga) should be started in essentially every patient with HFpEF, and it doesn't matter if they have diabetes or not.Jordan: And that's worth repeating, because people still think of these as “diabetes drugs.” They're not anymore. In HFpEF, SGLT-2 inhibitors reduce heart-failure hospitalizations, improve symptoms, improve quality of life, and even reduce cardiovascular death.Dr. Arreaza: They're also simple. Empagliflozin 10 mg daily or dapagliflozin 10 mg daily. No titration, no drama. The effectiveness of these meds was established around 2019 with DAPA-HF and later with DELIVER. These were trials thatdemonstrated that dapagliflozin reduces worsening heart failure and cardiovascular events across the full spectrum of heart failure, from reduced to preserved ejection fraction, independent of diabetes status.Mike: And the number needed to treat is about 28 to prevent one heart-failure hospitalization. That's excellent for a disease where we historically had almost nothing that worked.Jordan: They're also safe in chronic kidney disease down to an eGFR of about 25, which makes them even more useful in this population.Dr. Arreaza: Alright. We got SGLT-2 inhibitor, what's next?Mike: Volume management. Loop diuretics are still the backbone of symptom control in HFpEF. If the patient is volume overloaded, you diurese, and you diurese aggressively.Jordan: The goal is euvolemia. Dry weight, no edema, no orthopnea, no waking up gasping for air. A lot of these patients end up needing chronic oral loop diuretics to stay there.Dr. Arreaza: Something to remember: HFpEF patients don't tolerate congestion well, and being “a little wet” is not benign. Let's move into RAAS inhibition. Where do ARBs and ACE inhibitors fit in?Mike: Between ARBs and ACE inhibitors, ARBs are the winners in HFpEF. They actually reduce heart failure hospitalizations—drugs like candesartan, losartan, valsartan. ACE inhibitors? Not so much. They showed minimal benefit in older HFpEF patients, which is why we go with ARBs instead.Jordan: But a lot of clinicians get nervous about ACE inhibitors and ARBs because of kidney function, so it's worth talking through how these drugs actually work in the kidney.Dr. Arreaza: Yes, misunderstanding may lead to unnecessary drug discontinuation.Jordan: Under normal conditions, the afferent arteriole brings blood into the glomerulus, and the efferent arteriole is constricted by angiotensin II. That constriction keeps pressure high in the glomerulus and maintains filtration.Mike: Here's what happens with an ACE inhibitor: you block angiotensin II, the efferent arteriole relaxes, glomerular pressure drops, and GFR dips slightly. Creatinine bumps up a little, and that scares people, but that's actually the whole point—that's how you get kidney protection long-term.Jordan: High intraglomerular pressure causes hyperfiltration injury and scarring over time. Lowering that pressure protects the kidney long-term. The short-term GFR drop is the price you pay for long-term benefits.Dr. Arreaza: So let's talk about CKD, because this is where people panic.Mike: Right. ACE inhibitors and ARBs are not contraindicated in chronic kidney disease. In fact, they're recommended even in advanced stages. They reduce progression to kidney failure by about a third.Jordan: The key is how you use them. Start low. Check creatinine and potassium one to two weeks after starting, then periodically. A creatinine rise up to 30% from baseline is acceptable. That's not kidney injury, that's physiology.Dr. Arreaza: And what about potassium creeping up?Mike: You adjust the dose or add a potassium binder. You don't just automatically stop the drug.Dr. Arreaza: Now there is one absolute contraindication everyone needs to know about! (board exam test)Jordan: Bilateral renal artery stenosis. This is the big one. In these patients, the kidneys are completely dependent on angiotensin II–mediated efferent constriction to maintain GFR. Take that away, and GFR collapses.Mike: Creatinine can jump dramatically within days. If you see a creatinine rise of 20% or more shortly after starting an ACE inhibitor, you should be thinking about bilateral renal artery stenosis and stopping the drug immediately.Dr. Arreaza: After revascularization, though, many patients can tolerate ACE inhibitors again, so this isn't always permanent. What about cardiorenal syndrome? That's where things get uncomfortable.Mike: It is uncomfortable, but cardiorenal syndrome isn't a contraindication. These patients have severe heart failure and kidney disease, and their mortality is actually higher than patients with heart failure alone.Jordan: ACE inhibitors still reduce mortality and slow kidney disease progression in this group. Studies show that stopping ACE inhibitors during acute heart-failure admissions increases in-hospital mortality three- to four-fold.Dr. Arreaza: So we are cautious, but we don't avoid it.Mike: Exactly. Start low, titrate slowly, monitor labs closely, accept up to a 30% creatinine rise. You only stop if kidney function keeps worsening, or potassium gets dangerously high.Dr. Arreaza: Alright. Let's move on. What about mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists… MRA?Jordan: Spironolactone or eplerenone might reduce hospitalizations in HFpEF, but the data is mixed. This is more of a “select patients” situation.Mike: And you have to watch potassium and kidney function carefully, especially if they're already on an ACE inhibitor or ARB.Dr. Arreaza: What about sacubitril-valsartan, also known as Entresto®?Mike: Entresto may help patients with mildly reduced EF roughly in the 45 to 57% range. It's not first-line for HFpEF, but in select patients, it's reasonable.Dr. Arreaza: Now let's clarify one of the biggest sources of confusion: beta blockers.Jordan: Beta blockers are not a treatment for HFpEF itself. They're only indicated if the patient has another reason to be on them, like coronary disease or atrial fibrillation.Mike: And timing really matters here. You absolutely do not start beta blockers during acute decompensated heart failure. Their negative inotropic effects can make things worse when patients are volume overloaded.Jordan: But, and this is critical, you also don't stop them if the patient is already taking one. Abrupt withdrawal causes a sympathetic surge and dramatically increases mortality.Dr. Arreaza: If a patient is admitted on a beta blocker, what do we do?Mike: Continue it at the same dose or reduce it slightly if they're really unstable. Once they're euvolemic and stable, you can carefully titrate up.Jordan: And watch for chronotropic incompetence. HFpEF patients often rely on heart-rate response to exercise, and beta blockers can worsen exercise intolerance.Dr. Arreaza: Beyond medications, HFpEF is really about treating comorbidities. Aerobic activity can be an initial strategy to improve exercise intolerance and has evidence of improving aerobic function and quality of life. Sodium restriction: improves symptoms, does not decrease risk of death or hospitalizations.Mike: Hypertension control is huge. For diabetes, the SGLT-2 inhibitors will perform double duty. For obesity, weight loss improves symptoms, and GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide are absolute gamechangers.Jordan: Don't forget sleep apnea, atrial fibrillation, and lifestyle. Exercise improves the quality of life, even if it doesn't change hard outcomes. Lifestyle is the main treatment. Dr. Arreaza: And when should you refer to cardiology?Mike: You should refer when the diagnosis isn't clear; symptoms are not responding to treatment, difficult volume management, end-organ dysfunction, or if you are concerned about advanced heart failure.Dr. Arreaza: So, it has been a great discussion. What is the takeaway?Mike: HFpEF treatment isn't about one magic drug -- it's about volume control, SGLT2 inhibitors, smart use of RAAS blockade, and aggressive management of comorbidities.Jordan: And it's understanding the physiology, so you don't withhold life-saving therapies out of fear.Dr. Arreaza: Well said. If you found this helpful, share it with a friend or colleague and rate us wherever you listen. This is Dr. Arreaza, signing off.Jordan/Mike: Thanks!

The Barbell Mamas Podcast | Pregnancy, Postpartum, Pelvic Health
Heavy lifting in early pregnancy carries a long shadow of fear—but the data tell a different story. We unpack a newly published study on first-trimester high-load resistance training, revealing that pelvic floor symptoms actually decreased compared to preconception, even as many athletes maintained intensities near 80% of one-rep max. We also dig into miscarriage rates in this cohort and how they align with population norms, pushing back on the narrative that smart, heavy training in early pregnancy is inherently risky.From there, we confront an overlooked reality: most active women receive little to no guidance on returning to exercise after miscarriage. We share raw, personal experiences of medical management, bleeding, and the confusing early weeks of recovery, then introduce a new survey designed to map real-world timelines, barriers, and advice quality. Whether you lift, run, flow, or mix it up, your input can shape practical, compassionate recommendations for getting back to movement in a safe, sustainable way.We round out the conversation with a deep dive into perimenopause and musculoskeletal pain, especially the spike in shoulder and low back-pelvic discomfort as women move from pre to peri. For athletes navigating postpartum in their 30s and 40s, this hormonal backdrop matters. Aerobic and resistance training may blunt vasomotor symptoms, but aches can still rise, calling for smarter load management, recovery, and clinical screening when needed. The throughline is clear: informed autonomy. With better data and honest dialogue, we can train hard, honor healing, and adapt across life's transitions.If you've experienced a miscarriage in the past year and were active before or during pregnancy, please check the show notes for our survey link and share it with someone who might benefit. If this resonated, subscribe, leave a review, and send this to a friend who trains. Your story moves the science forward.___________________________________________________________________________Don't miss out on any of the TEA coming out of the Barbell Mamas by subscribing to our newsletter You can also follow us on Instagram and YouTube for all the up-to-date information you need about pelvic health and female athletes.

Brain Talk | Being Patient for Alzheimer's & dementia patients & caregivers
Exercise can ease Parkinson's symptoms — but can it also slow the disease itself?In this Being Patient Live Talk, Northwestern University researcher Daniel Corcos, PhD breaks down the science behind high-intensity aerobic exercise and why his team is putting it to the test in a major Phase 3 clinical trial (SPARX3). SPARX3 is designed to examine whether exercise intensity can influence Parkinson's progression, especially for people who are newly diagnosed and not yet taking Parkinson's medication.Corcos, a professor in Northwestern's Department of Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences, shares what research has already taught us about exercise and Parkinson's — and what we still need to prove. He also lays out a practical, four-part “exercise prescription” you can use as a framework:✅ Aerobic training✅ Resistance/strength work✅ Flexibility✅ Balance + neuromotor trainingYou'll also learn how SPARX3 will follow 370 participants over two years, comparing moderate- vs. high-intensity treadmill training and tracking changes in symptoms and brain imaging to explore whether higher intensity is linked to slower progression.Hosted by: Deborah Kan, Founder of Being Patient--- Subscribe for more Live Talks and brain health reporting:https://www.beingpatient.com/Follow Being Patient:Twitter/X: / being_patient Instagram: / beingpatientvoices Facebook: / beingpatientalzheimers LinkedIn: / being-patient Watch more Live Talks:https://beingpatient.com/live-talks/Being Patient is an editorially independent journalism outlet covering brain health, cognitive science, and neurodegenerative diseases.

SORDID SUNDAYS...
Most hunters train hard. Very few train right. In this episode, Cliff sits down with Scott Johnston, co-author of Training for the Uphill Athlete and founder of Evoke Endurance, to break down why high-intensity training actually works against mountain hunters.They unpack the biggest misconception in hunting fitness: trying to train exhaustion instead of capacity. Scott explains, in plain language, why endurance is a metabolic problem, not a grit problem, and why zone-2 aerobic development is the foundation for moving better, recovering faster, and shooting more accurately under fatigue.They connect the dots between mountain hunting, special operations selection, and endurance sports, showing why aerobic capacity directly impacts decision-making, fine motor skills, recovery between stalks, and multi-day performance. Cliff ties it back to real guiding experiences with elk, goat, and sheep hunters who simply could not recover once they went anaerobic.This is not about suffering more. It's about building a system that actually works when it matters.Evoke Endurance Backcountry Hunting Program: https://evokeendurance.com/training-plans/backcountry-hunting-training-plan/TrainingPeaks Marketplace: https://www.trainingpeaks.com/training-plans/other/tp-611567/backcountry-hunting-training-plan00:00:56 The fitness problem in hunting00:02:00 Who Scott Johnston is00:07:00 Why training transfers across sports00:10:20 Fitness as the only controllable00:18:30 Aerobic vs anaerobic systems00:31:30 Aerobic deficiency explained00:37:30 Time commitment realities00:45:15 Why hill sprints fail hunters00:52:00 Recovery and multi day hunts01:11:00 Fitness impact on shooting accuracyResources from Scott and Evoke Endurance:Evoke Endurance: https://evokeendurance.com/Training For the Uphill Athlete: https://amzn.to/4qgQ1WQThe Fastest Way to Get Good at Elk Hunting.

I haven't done a solo podcast in a while. Strength and age- resistance training - which leads me to women and strength. Resistancetraining Trump's aerobics. Which brings me to the BBM Kettlebell methodology - something I always knew but I nowhave the biometrics to prove it. Aerobicand Anaerobic. Almost Identical – slightly more Anaerobic than Aerobic and my boxing/kickboxing workouts are just the opposite. The New Year is upon us. I'm not a big “New Year's Resolution” type of guy. But this past year was enlightening for many reasons. My goal is to help others to Live Better Longer. I have had the great fortune of listening to and learning from others. My studies and experiences have helpedme attain success at what I love doing most. Sharing my experiences and knowledge with others is my way of paying it forward. So, if you're interested in learning what I gained from this year, please keep listening. We need to look at the aspects of our life- business/ financial, family/home and personal relationships, state of our fitness and health. Intermittent fasting: daily - autophagy - 12-17 hours, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 hours. Fasting stages progress from using food energy (0-4 hrs) to breaking down stored sugar(glycogen) for fuel (4-12 hrs), then burning fat (12-24+ hrs) as glucosedepletes, leading into ketosis (24+ hrs) where the liver produces ketones forenergy, with deeper benefits like cellular cleanup (autophagy) emerging after24-48+ hours, shifting your body from sugar-burning to fat-burning for fuel. Fasting Stages by Hour ● 0-4 Hours (Fed State): Your body digests food,uses glucose for immediate energy, releases insulin, and stores excess asglycogen. ● 4-12 Hours (Glycogen Depletion): Insulin drops, and yourbody starts breaking down stored glycogen (sugar) for energy. ● 12-16 Hours (Fat Burning Begins): Glycogen is low,prompting the body to release stored fat (lipolysis) for fuel, entering earlyfat-burning mode. ● 16-24 Hours (Entering Ketosis): The body significantlyramps up fat burning, producing ketones as an alternative fuel, especially forthe brain. ● 24-48+ Hours (Ketosis & Autophagy): Full ketosis isestablished, and the body burns fat exclusively; autophagy (cellular cleanup)begins to increase. ● 48-72+ Hours (Deep Fasting): Deeper benefits likeenhanced autophagy, significant growth hormone increases, and potential immunesystem regeneration may occur. Key Metabolic Shifts ● Insulin Drops: Blood sugar levels fall, signaling the body to stop storing fatand start releasing it. ● ● Glycogenolysis: Breakdown of stored sugar in the liver and muscles. ● ● Lipolysis: Breakdown of fat into fatty acids. ● ● Ketogenesis: The liver converts fatty acids into ketones for energy. ● ● Autophagy: Cellular repair and recycling process that gets activatedduring fasting. Biometrics:the BodyBell Method- Anerobic and Aerobic benefits almost equal- throw inmobility and the restorative benefits- and it's no wonder that the system isapproved by the state government for DPT's and chiropractors.

Nic kicks off with a story about flying during the government shutdown. And Tarina bought Nic a new towel—which he claims takes him 8 minutes to collect black fuzz; it's like drying off with a trash bag.Tarina has a question for listeners: If you have a budget for a present, and you pay significantly less that regular retail, do you buy two of the item? Is it about how much you spend or about the gift itself?In this episode, Tarina picks up where she left off with explaining her PAUSE before the Holidays method. The acronym Tarina created for herself is PAUSE. P is for Pray. A is for Aerobic. U is for understand. S is for Sit. E is for Express.When we seek to Understand the people's perspective, it is most likely coming from a good place. As Nic says, “We often judge others by their behaviors and judge ourselves by our intentions.”To sit, as Tarina explains, means to take time for yourself. If there is something meaningful to work through, time the time to sit with the emotions, environment, or anticipation of the experience.The PAUSE idea is designed to give you a practical framework for approaching the holidays with grace and power.Email info@nicbittle.com to receive a “pretty big deal” Christmas card from Nic and Tarina.If you enjoy Nic and Tarina's podcast and get something from listening to “all this Nic Bittle Crap,” please hit the like button, share it with a friend, or both.

Why the Half Marathon Might Be the Perfect DistanceI break down why the half marathon is the smartest distance for real life: enough stress to build stamina and speed, not enough to trash your body or calendar.

We'll cover pacing by effort, when to use VO₂ max vs threshold work, and how to rotate long runs without burning out. I'll also de-stress race logistics, fueling, and travel so you don't turn a fun weekend into a recovery crater.

Season 14, episode 375 reviews episode 116 with Dr. John Ratey, exploring how exercise and lifestyle shape brain health and learning. The episode highlights Naperville's Zero Hour PE case study, explains how physical activity boosts attention and academic performance, and introduces BDNF (brain-derived neurotropic factor) as “miracle grow” for the brain. Practical takeaways include exercising before challenging work or school, prioritizing low-glucose nutrition, using hormesis (fasting, intense exercise, sauna) to increase resilience, and improving sleep and stress management to support cognitive health. On today's episode #375, we review our 2021 interview with Dr. John Ratey and will learn: ✔ How physical activity boosts attention and academic performance to improve results at school or in the workplace. ✔ What should we all understand about BDNF (brain-derived neurotropic factor) also known as “miracle grow” for the brain. ✔ How to build a faster, stronger, more resilient brain with exercise, nutrition, and with understanding hormesis. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. Episode 375: Featuring Dr. John Ratey For today's Episode 375, we continue with our review of past episodes as we make connections to prior learning with whatever it is that we are currently working on this year. I'll create a roadmap at the end of this season so this pathway will make sense to us (I hope!) as we piece together important parts of our success puzzle and begin to bring them to life. You'll notice that around the time of the pandemic, in 2020, our interviews took a turn towards health and wellness, and to stay on track, I created a framework of our Top 5 Health Staples on Episode 87[i], which eventually evolved into our Top 6 Health Staples. Today, we covering the first health staple of exercise, jumping to Episode 116[ii] on “The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain” with best-selling author Dr. John Ratey. Dr. Ratey is also an Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and an internationally recognized expert in Neuropsychiatry. Dr. Ratey has published over 60 peer-reviewed articles and 11 books in 17 languages, including the groundbreaking ADHD “Driven to Distraction” series with Dr. Edward (Ned) Hallowell, MD. With the publication of “Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain,” Dr. Ratey established himself as one of the world's foremost authorities on the brain-fitness connection. His most recent book, “Go Wild,” explores how we can achieve optimal physical and mental health by getting in touch with our caveman roots and how we can “re-wild” our lives.

SUNDAY TEA T-DANCE - Philly 80s-20s clubracks to be added*
This is a great time to build the cake, or maybe even just put your shopping list together. Today, we look at the unlimited potential of aerobic capacity and why it's at the core of making you a better long course athlete. We talk about Mark Allen's quest to beat Dave Scott and how patience allowed him to set the IM run course record. We get into using this time to reduce your stress and level your cortisol to be a healthier person. We look at how your body adapts to training and how we actually get faster and stronger. Get faster in a more meaningful (and functional) way. The goal right now is to train in a way so that you feel good tomorrow . . . and the next day. Be patient and the speed will come. Topics: We all have options Sitting in no man's land FOMO on both sides of the aisle Build the aerobic reservoir High intensity can wait Is periodization dead? Roller coaster highs and lows are bad for the body Using TIME to reduce stress Aerobic work is maximum quality Keep showing up but “don't try” The poison is in the dose DNF rate going up? Stress Flexibility Fatigue resistance Don't eat into your ability to push threshold Running and swimming as intuitive strengths Your training plan as a menu Mark Allen - 7 months of no intensity for the win How your body adapts and gets stronger Consistency going out of your watt range Waking up the next day able to do it again Peaks and valleys are stressful Get faster in a meaningful way The goal is to feel good tomorrow Don't feel good just to dig another hole Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com
Today's guest is Jack Barry. Jack is the founder of JB Performance and a former ABCA DIII All-American (York College, 2021) who played at Salisbury University. After college, he worked at Tread Athletics, then built a remote+in-person coaching model. Jack has coached athletes from high school to pro levels, appeared on Baseball America's 90th Percentile, and hosts the “Just Rippin'” podcast. On today's episode, Jack speaks on athletic potential as a function of work capacity with quality, deliberate practice. We unpack the mental side of training, how visualization, targeted self-talk, and timely pattern breaks calm performance anxiety and restore confidence. He also touches on how athletes thrive when they develop a unique identity, balance effort with recovery, and treat mindset and mechanics as equal partners. This is a dynamic episode, at the intersection of pitching skill and global human performance concepts. Today's episode is brought to you by Hammer Strength and LILA Exogen wearable resistance.

Treat post-playing transitions as a chance to experiment with new sports that satisfy the competitive impulse. Use cross-training to keep motivation high while developing complementary athletic qualities. When exploring a new sport, accept the beginner phase and enjoy the novelty rather than forcing immediate mastery. 4:10 – Work capacity, family influences, and cross-training Jack reflects on family genetics and finding his own work-capacity strengths through varied activities. If you enjoy sustained effort, program both volume and varied intensity (easy long efforts plus specific speed sessions). Use cross-training (racket sports, running, court games) to get game-like cardiovascular stimulus without burnout. Be deliberate: split session types by purpose (speed sessions, volume sessions, tempo work) instead of lumping everything together. 7:10 – Adapting training: speed, volume, and specificity Jack describes learning to periodize his running and mix speed with volume to actually get faster. Structure sessions by purpose: separate longer aerobic efforts from targeted speed work. Progress volume conservatively (small weekly increases) and add specific speed work for real improvements in pace. Treat running like any other modality: apply progressive overload principles and discipline. 10:01 – Aerobic contributions in racket and throwing sports Jack compares racket sports and throwing, noting the reactive and aerobic demands of court play. Use court-based conditioning to develop reactive stamina and contextual decision-making. Choose cross-training that mirrors sport constraints when possible (racket sports for reactive throws).

As a TriDot Triathlon Coach, I've seen firsthand how predictive analytics can transform training outcomes. Today, we'll break down the development, race-specific, and taper phases of training, explore the importance of strength and mobility, and give you actionable tips for race rehearsals, race week workouts, and pacing strategies across different race distances. Let's get into it!” Training Phases with RunDot Development Phase (April) “This is where the foundation is built. The development phase focuses on aerobic capacity, muscular endurance, and overall durability. RunDot uses your biometric and performance data to personalize your training load—so you're not just following a generic plan, you're following your plan. Expect to see: Zone 2 endurance runs to build aerobic efficiency. Hill repeats and strides to improve strength and form. Aerobic intervals that challenge your cardiovascular system without overloading it. This phase is also where strength and mobility work are critical. Think squats, lunges, planks, and dynamic mobility drills. These movements help prevent injury and improve your running economy.” Race-Specific Phase (Lauren) “Now we shift gears. The race-specific phase is all about sharpening your race pace and simulating race conditions. RunDot adjusts your workouts based on your predicted race performance, so you're training at the right intensity. Key workouts include: Tempo runs to dial in your race pace. Long runs with race pace segments to simulate race fatigue. Intervals that mimic the demands of your target race. This is also the time for race rehearsals. Practice everything—your gear, your nutrition, your hydration strategy. If you're racing trails, get on technical terrain. If it's a road race, practice on similar surfaces and elevation profiles.” Taper Phase (Rich) “The taper phase is where the magic happens. You're reducing volume to shed fatigue while maintaining intensity to stay sharp. RunDot's predictive engine ensures you're not tapering too much or too little. During taper: Keep intensity with short intervals and strides. Reduce volume gradually. Focus on mental preparation—visualize your race, review your pacing strategy, and trust your training.” Strength & Mobility: The Unsung Heroes (Lauren) “Strength and mobility work aren't optional—they're essential. They: Prevent overuse injuries. Improve running efficiency. Enhance power and stride mechanics. RunDot integrates strength sessions based on your recovery status and training load. So if you're feeling fatigued, it'll dial back the intensity. If you're fresh, it'll push you a bit more.” Race Week Workouts & Shakeout Runs (April) “Race week is all about staying loose and confident. Here's a sample structure: Monday–Wednesday: Easy runs with strides, light strength work. Thursday–Friday: Short intervals or race pace efforts—30 to 60 seconds. Saturday: Shakeout run—15 to 20 minutes easy with a few strides. Sunday: Race day! Shakeout runs help reduce anxiety, loosen up your muscles, and reinforce your rhythm and cadence.” Race Pacing Tips by Distance 5K - Rich Go out strong but controlled. Settle into pace by the first mile. Finish with a kick. Use strides and short intervals in taper week to stay sharp. 10K - Lauren Controlled first half, push the second half. Practice pacing in race-specific workouts. Don't go out too fast—let your fitness shine in the back half. Half Marathon - April Aim for even pacing or a slight negative split. Long runs with race pace segments are key. Fuel early and consistently. Full Marathon - Rich Start conservatively—don't chase pace early. Stay steady through the middle miles. Prepare mentally for the final 10K. Practice fueling during long runs to avoid bonking. Trail vs Road Racing - Lauren Trail: Focus on effort over pace. Practice technical terrain and elevation changes. Road: Dial in cadence and pacing. Use flat intervals to simulate race conditions. Closing Thoughts - Rich “RunDot by Predictive Fitness is a game-changer. It takes the guesswork out of training and helps you peak at the right time. Whether you're chasing a PR or finishing your first race, trust the process, stay consistent, and enjoy the journey. Get Gritty Tip: What's Your Success Criteria? One of the biggest mindset traps athletes (and high achievers in general) fall into is measuring success by what hasn't been accomplished yet—what Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy call living in “the gap.” The way out is creating a Success Criteria List, which shifts your focus from what's missing to what's meaningful. Here's the challenge: Write down three to five criteria that define success for YOU—right now, in this season. Make them simple, tangible, and personal. For example: I'm successful when I show up consistently for my workouts. I'm successful when I recover well and prioritize sleep. I'm successful when I enjoy at least one workout each week with friends or teammates. Notice how none of these depend on a finish time or podium. Instead, they anchor you in daily wins that compound over time. When you measure against your own list, you gain confidence, resilience, and perspective—no matter what the scoreboard says. Action Item: Take five minutes today to craft your own Success Criteria List. Post it where you'll see it daily—on your fridge, in your training log, or on your phone. Each time you check off a criteria, you're stacking wins. Over time, this list becomes your proof that you're already making progress—and that you're firmly in “the gain.” TriDot Workout of the Week: Stamina Ride Speaking of putting in the work, April, this week's featured workout is the Long Ride, or Stamina Ride. This workout goes out to Caroline and Stephanie who are getting ready to do the Boulder Century on September 7th. We're rooting for you. I also did my own version of this on Monday, and drove out to Canon City, Colorado and road some incredible trails including the aptly named Shiv, Redemption. And the Great Escape trails. It was as great as a mental challenge as it was physical, which is why the Stamina Ride is so important. You'll start with a warmup: 10 minutes in Zone 2 with 3 x 30-second spinups and 3 x 1-minute efforts in Zone 4. Then the main set—3 x 12 minutes at Zone 4 with 5 minutes recovery, 1 x 10 minutes at Zone 2, and 10 x 10 minutes at Zone 3 with 2 minutes recovery. Keep all recoveries and balance of time in Zone 2. Here's the key—when you're in those longer stamina sessions, stay in your race position as if you're racing. Sit up to stretch if you need, then get back down and dial in. Keep your cadence steady: Zone 2 and 3 efforts at 90+ rpm, Zone 4 efforts at 80 rpm. And remember—aim to make the last repeat as strong as the first. What do you think about the Stamina ride, Rich? Anything else to add? What I really love about this stamina ride is how it mimics the demands of long-course racing. Those multiple 10-minute Zone 3 pushes let you sit right on that edge—where it's uncomfortable, but still sustainable—just like in a 70.3, full IRONMAN, or Century Ride. You're teaching your body and mind how to hold strong at race effort, manage the discomfort, and then back off just enough to go the distance. This one showed up for me last week, and I also have a century ride this weekend. It's the perfect prep to build the resilience you need for long days in the saddle. Now, workouts like the Stamina Ride teach us grit, focus, and the ability to stay locked in for the long haul. But triathlon isn't just about the grind—it's also about enjoying the ride, laughing a little, and not taking ourselves too seriously. That's why we've got a fun segment lined up next!

How on earth can Katie Ledecky continue to dominate for so many years? It's not like training plans are a secret, so what could possibly be the difference, and how can you learn from her mentality. Today, we discuss her approach to swimming, her stroke, and her racing strategies. We also talk a little Tadej Pogacar and some Tour de France. And why it's important to do what you love but also spend time, be patient and do things that make you uncomfortable? Topics: Birthdays… how important are they after 40? Katie Ledecky and her complete dominance How much faster does kicking make you? What's it take to keep focusing on getting better? You can get away with a lot more when you're young Holding speed without your kick Understanding negative splitting in long course racing Aerobic training Is Katie Ledecky's training that much different?

Krista Catwood, also known by the stage name Vera Mysteria, can be found at the Lloyd Center mall every Sunday leading Portlanders in a group workout. But the exercises aren’t done on machines and do not take place in a retail space — instead, they’re done throughout the entire mall. As first reported in the Oregonian, Catwood, armed with a neon track suit and a Bluetooth speaker, leads a group ranging from ages 8 to 80 on a power walk throughout the mall with '80s music blasting behind them. The group is known as the Food Court 5000, started off with a group of eight that has now grown to upwards of 70 people at its highest. Catwood joins us to share why she started the Food Court 5000 and more.
What does aerobic fitness really mean — and how can personal training help you improve it?? Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher break down VO₂ max, heart rate, and the science behind combining strength training with interval workouts. From boosting cardiovascular health to reducing fatigue and disease risk, they explain how targeted personal training can transform your conditioning and overall well-being. Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher look at the benefits of having increased aerobic capacity, how to increase it and the role of both strength training and brief interval training in aerobic capacity. One of the most common terms used in scientific literature is VO₂ max which represents the maximum volume of oxygen our body can take up and use. Dr. Fisher explains that whenever we talk about cardiovascular fitness or cardiorespiratory fitness, it's about how well oxygen can move around our body. Dr. Fisher and Amy talk about why VO₂ max and CO2 (carbon dioxide) are important in terms of their fitness. Did you know that your conditioning level, to some extent, can determine what exercise level or exercise intensity you can work at to maintain working aerobically? Not only daily fatigue but also your sleep, risk of depression and anxiety, risk of coronary artery disease and hypertension, and the risk of diabetes are all positively impacted by an improved aerobic conditioning. Dr. Fisher approaches the audience question: Does knowing one's resting heart rate indicate anything to that person about their current state of cardiovascular health or aerobic capacity? As you improve your fitness, you improve what's called cardiac output and stroke volume. If you're curious about your maximum heart rate, you can calculate it by taking the number 220 and deducting your age from it… Amy brings interval training and glycogen into the conversation. Dr. Fisher explains that the importance of having a strength training workout and then doing concentrated cardio at the end is actually great because it serves as this glycogen dump.
