Podcasts about Barefoot

Angela Hanscom—founder of TimberNook and author of Balanced and Barefoot—is back, and this conversation goes somewhere we've never gone before: the behind-the-scenes yes that built a worldwide movement out of one mom's quiet, out-of-her-comfort-zone obedience. We talk entrepreneurship in this episode and so much more. If you've ever felt pulled toward something meaningful but intimidating, this episode will be the nudge forward you need. Angela also talks about motherhood in the middle of all that work: your kids are watching your courage, humility, and resilience. We talk fear (ticks, travel, being the center of attention), discernment (how to recognize what's from God), and why 60 minutes of movement isn't remotely enough for kids who are made to move for hours. Angela shares what thrilling play actually looks like and why it's one of the most practical ways we can push back on the social-emotional crisis we're seeing in children. If this episode encourages you, share it with a friend who needs hope—and please leave a review. It's one of the simplest ways to help more families find this message. Thanks for listening!

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Mike Barefoot to unpack how movement builds more than muscles. It builds discipline, mindset, emotional regulation, and leadership performance. Mike shares why physical outlets like martial arts, workouts, walking, and simple daily activity help professionals vent stress without torching relationships at work. They also break down the real hack most people miss. Consistency beats intensity, and incremental progress turns fitness into a lifestyle instead of a short-term grind. If you want better focus, less burnout, and stronger decision-making, this conversation links fitness and mental health in a way that's practical and repeatable. About the Guest: Mike Barefoot has spent 27+ years in the staffing industry, placing 1,000+ professionals, generating $50M+ in revenue, and earning top awards like Rookie of the Year, Performer of the Year, and multiple Presidents Club honors. He is also a 37-year martial arts practitioner, a 7th degree black belt in karate, plus advanced ranks in jujitsu and kickboxing, and a multi-time Hall of Fame inductee. Mike speaks to MBA students, executives, and entrepreneurs on performance, balance, and sustainable excellence. Key Takeaways: Physical outlets reduce stress spillover. Training gives you a clean place to “dump pressure” so you show up calmer at work and at home. Balance is a performance strategy, not a luxury. When energy is distributed across life areas, productivity and resilience improve. Compete with yourself, not the room. Self-accountability creates consistent growth without chasing external validation. Perfection in results is rare. “Perfect intent” means daily effort aligned to your goals even when outcomes vary. Set incremental targets. Instead of chasing 50 pounds or 2-hour workouts, aim for small wins like 10 to 15 minutes daily. Avoid the “ready, set, stop” trap in business. Delays and hurdles happen. Use movement to prevent frustration from damaging relationships. Momentum matters. An object in motion tends to stay in motion. Small action keeps you progressing. Use micro-journaling. Track activity on a mini calendar or your phone so your brain can't inflate effort. Limited time can improve focus. Small windows force sharper training and sharper studying, especially for young professionals. Movement upgrades decision-making. More energy and clarity leads to better choices and less burnout over time. How Listeners Can Connect With Mike: Email: LinkedIn Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Angela Hanscom is a pediatric occupational therapist, author, and founder of TimberNook, an award-winning, nature-based developmental program now operating in four countries. With a master's in occupational therapy and a background in kinesiology, she has become a leading voice on the critical importance of unrestricted outdoor play for sensory, motor, social, and emotional development. Her book, Balanced and Barefoot: How Unrestricted Outdoor Play Makes for Strong, Confident, and Capable Children, outlines the profound impacts of movement and nature on the developing brain and body.Description/Summary: In this enlightening episode, Bethany Lewis welcomes Angela Hanscom to explore the deep therapeutic benefits of nature and unstructured outdoor play. Angela shares her journey from traditional OT clinics to creating TimberNook, highlighting the sensory deficits she observed in children confined to indoor, structured environments. They discuss how the core developmental challenges many kids face today—issues with balance, attention, sensory processing, and emotional regulation—are remarkably similar to symptoms experienced by those recovering from concussion and brain injury.The conversation delves into the science of the vestibular system, explaining why movements like spinning, climbing, and rolling are not just play, but essential neurological workouts. Angela makes a compelling case for how natural, outdoor environments provide the varied, graded sensory input that "plastic" indoor settings cannot, promoting better integration, focus, and resilience. She also addresses the "risk paradox," explaining how overprotection can lead to poorer risk assessment and greater injury. For anyone—child or adult—dealing with sensory overwhelm, anxiety, or post-concussion symptoms, this episode offers a hopeful, practical argument for the healing power of getting outside, moving freely, and reconnecting with the natural world.Connect with Angela Hanscom and TimberNook:Website: http://www.timbernook.com (Features new research on TimberNook's impact in schools)Email: angie@timbernook.comInstagram: @timbernook_globalFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimberNook.Camps/Book: Balanced and Barefoot by Angela HanscomBethany Lewis & The Concussion Coach:Free Guide: "5 Best Ways to Support Your Loved One Dealing with a Concussion" - Download at www.theconcussioncoach.comConcussion Coaching Program: For personalized mentorship in recovery.

If we are to build systems that meet our real needs we have to first understand what those needs are and start growing the stuff that will allow us to thrive: good food from healthy soils, safe and supportive homes and communities, space to develop and express our creativity, opportunities to increase our capacity for co-operation and kindness.  As much as these, though, we need to understand what an economy is for - why it does what it does. And while we're all clear that the death cult of Predatory Capitalism exists to enrich the few at the expense of the rest of the living web, it's not always clear what a flourishing economy might look like.  So we're going to explore exactly this with our guest today. Inez Aponte is a self-described 'Dissident of Capitalism', she's an educator, storyteller, and consultant who's spent 15 years bridging mainstream economics with human-scale alternatives. Using the Human Scale Development Approach (Barefoot Economics), she helps professionals see the economic system itself, and imagine what comes next.Barefoot Economics (also known as Human Scale Development) was developed by Manfred Max-Neef and colleagues in Chile as a response to the predations of the colonial capital system. It reframes economic thinking away from endless wants and towards nine fundamental needs: Subsistence, Freedom, Participation, Understanding, Affection, Creation, Idleness, Protection and Identity.We are wealthy when our needs are satisfied, regardless of our income. This means we can also be poor in multiple ways, even when we have a ‘healthy' bank balance.Inez has built this forward into a framework for the 21st century. Her 'Beautiful Economies Learning Lab' breaks people out of mainstream economic thinking to explore how we can build systems that meet real needs while healing ourselves, communities, and the Earth.So this is our deep dive.  Let's go. https://www.beautifuleconomies.com/https://library.uniteddiversity.coop/Money_and_Economics/The_Future_of_Money-Bernard_Lietaer.pdfWhat we offer: Accidental Gods, Dreaming Awake and the Thrutopia Writing Masterclass If you'd like to join our next Open Gathering offered by our Accidental Gods Programme it's  'Dreaming Your Year Awake' (you don't have to be a member) on Sunday 4th January 2026 from 16:00 - 20:00 GMT - details are hereIf you'd like to join us at Accidental Gods, this is the membership where we endeavour to help you to connect fully with the living web of life.

Vote for the Jeffrey Awards: https://forms.gle/2JaYdBFdogo2hTXP8During the Month of Jeff I, sit down with a true Jeff of the Year contender, Jeff Mogavero. We cover a wild range of topics, from his fourth place curse at big races to winning Ultra Trail Cape Town, getting married, and somehow deciding Montana Cup might outrank all of it.Follow Jeff Mogavero: https://www.instagram.com/jeffmogavero/Jeff walks through his dirtbag origin story, hitchhiking around the West on almost no money, racing for gas and grocery money, surveying fish and frogs for seasonal biology jobs, and eventually moving to Missoula to see if he could actually make a run at professional trail running. We talk about his Appalachian Trail thru hike, how he ended up with the trail name “Burger King,” his barefoot college phase, and why he once bailed on a “Number One Dad” hat.Then we get nerdy about performance. Jeff explains the science experiment heat chamber protocol he did for Western States, why he thinks heat training is overrated, and why cooling, ice bandanas, and sun protection are underrated superpowers. We dig into Montana Cup, the quiet training culture in Montana, and why adult cross country with a potluck might be the best event in running.Of course, as our official Taylor Swift correspondent, Jeff breaks down the new album, the Taylor Swift treadmill workout, and how he ended up in the top 2 percent of her listeners while also growing 25 to 30 pounds of potatoes and going through 100 pounds of flour. We finish with his dramatic finish line collapses, his case for being Jeff of the Year, and why potatoes, leeks, and Swift might be the real performance trifecta.If you like stories about hitchhiking, dirtbag seasons, science-backed heat preparation, tiny Montana races that mean everything, and a professional runner who is not afraid to be a little dramatic, this episode is for you.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Jeff Mogavero07:30 Racing Highlights and Personal Achievements10:25 Journey to Becoming a Pro Runner13:22 Living the Life of a Runner16:24 Hitchhiking Adventures and Human Connections19:25 Barefoot Jeff and Life Experiences22:12 Heat Training Protocols and Strategies28:20 Cooling Strategies for Racing34:23 Philosophy on Training and Performance41:35 The Importance of Training and Recovery44:24 Taylor Swift: The Soundtrack to Training52:21 The Role of a Good Coach56:22 Trail Names and Their Stories01:01:22 Dramatic Finishes and Personal ReflectionsSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Stuart M. McGill, distinguished professor, emeritus of Spine Biomechanics at the University of Waterloo. With over 40 years of research and 245+ peer-reviewed publications, he has helped everyone from Olympic athletes to everyday people overcome back pain. Vikas & Dr. McGill discussed in detail about spine biomechanics, how the body works as an elastic system for running, why most runners don't need heavy deadlifts, and practical strategies to build a resilient, pain-free back.Here are some key takeaways:Distance runners are elastic athletes, not strength athletes - Great runners store and recover energy through tuned stiffness in their fascia and tendons, not by building maximum muscle strength. Deadlifts may actually hurt your running performance.Core endurance matters more than core strength - Maintaining good form throughout a marathon requires core endurance to prevent energy leaks, not maximal strength. Train your core.Sitting is damaging your back and your running - Eight hours sitting at a desk, builds cumulative damage that can't be undone by hard training at night. Take frequent micro-breaks at home or in office, to maintain back health.Barefoot running teaches optimal mechanics - Running without shoes forces you to find the sweet spot between absorbing shock and preserving elastic energy. Too much cushioning makes you slower and loads your tendons more.Sciatica can often be resolved without surgery - Most sciatica cases respond to understanding the pain mechanism and following proper movement patterns. Surgery should be considered only after conservative approaches have been thoroughly tried.About Vikas Singh:Vikas Singh, an MBA from Chicago Booth, worked at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, APGlobale, and Reliance before coming up with the idea of democratizing fitness knowledge and helping beginners get on a fitness journey.

In this episode of the Capital Raiser Show, Richard C. Wilson sits down with Michael Houlihan and Bonnie Harvey, co-founders of Barefoot Wine and New York Times bestselling authors of The Barefoot Spirit. Starting with $300,000 of unpaid grape debt, no wine background, and a "desk" in their laundry room, they spent 20 years building Barefoot into America's #1-selling wine brand—without traditional advertising. Michael and Bonnie share what really moves the needle in brutally competitive consumer markets: ruthless focus on distribution, knowing every job in the chain, and making "friends in low places" with the people who actually move product—forklift drivers, merchandisers, and store staff. They explain why you don't get to choose your own growth targets; the metrics are already "written on the wall" by the last deal that closed in your niche. The conversation then shifts to legacy, values, and storytelling. Michael and Bonnie unpack their Business Audio Theater model—Hollywood-style dramatized audio that captures a founder's real story, principles, and hard-won lessons in a format next-gen family members, employees, investors, and partners will actually consume. If you're building a brand, raising capital, or stewarding a family office and want to scale both your business and your values, this episode will reframe how you think about distribution, strategic alliances, and the power of story.

A legendary creature haunts Minnesota's remote wilderness, leaving behind only massive footprints in the snow and traumatized witnesses who barely escaped its clutches.

The clock changed, the light faded, and suddenly sleep feels off, cravings spike, and the calendar is full of sweets and late nights. We break the winter spiral by getting back to first principles: your body runs on time signals from light and food, and those signals need clarity when the days grow short.We start with circadian anchors you can use tomorrow morning: bright outdoor light to cap cortisol, simple ways to block blue during screen time, and why amber lenses belong after sunset. If seasonal affective symptoms creep in, we lay out a sane toolkit—morning lux sessions, red light within daylight hours, and the sleep hygiene that lets melatonin do its deep repair work. Then we pivot to meal timing and macronutrients, showing how earlier breakfasts and dinners unlock nighttime healing, and why winter physiology thrives on protein, healthy fats, and storage crops like root vegetables rather than tropical fruit and sugar.From there, we reframe “cold and flu season” as an inflammation problem amplified by indoor stressors—harsh LEDs, nonstop Wi‑Fi, and sedentary routines. Practical fixes include movement snacks after meals for glucose control, opening a window to balance spectrum, using saunas or natural infrared, and putting the router on a timer at night. We also share a gentle reset you can trust: a short bone broth fast to create metabolic space for healing after holiday overindulgence. Finally, we dig into footwear and pain: how switching slowly to zero-drop, wide-toe-box barefoot shoes improved gait, reduced hip and knee pain, and even how grounding-capable soles can add an anti-inflammatory edge when you can't be barefoot outdoors.If you've felt at the mercy of shorter days, this conversation gives you calm, science-backed levers you can actually pull. Align your light, shift your meals, move a little more often, and let darkness become a nightly advantage. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who dreads winter, and leave a quick review—what habit will you shift first?I will link up my email list so you get notified for the free circadian seasonal shifts webinar in the show notes:https://stacy-baker.mykajabi.com/opt-in-9cffc5f4-f006-4adb-a0a7-6c33a0698b4bResources mentioned:Mycircadian APP DOCTOR (code)Ra Optics (Code DRSTACYND) blue light blockers!Bon Charge (Code DRSTACY) red light panel and circadian bulbsHigher Dose (my FAV sauna blanket with low to no EMF) code DRSTACYCGM (Code DRSTACY and DRSTACYAPP for app only)Analemma Water (structuring)Spring Aqua (my FAV water system) To work one-on-one with me, you can apply HERE!For more from me, follow me on IG @dr.stacy.ndThis information is just that; information only - not to be taken as medical advice.

How do you keep a 60-year-old wine brand growing—especially when it's already the biggest in America? You appeal to a new generation of wine drinkers.In this episode, we sit down with Britt West, Chief Commercial Officer at Gallo, to unpack the growth playbook behind Barefoot Wine, the country's #1 wine brand by dollar sales.When Gallo acquired Barefoot in 2005, it was a 600,000-case business. Today, it's more than 14 million cases and still expanding — bringing in an estimated 2.6 million new consumers to wine last year alone.Britt shares how Barefoot continues to unlock growth through smart innovation, consumer-driven formats, and bold marketing that meets people where they are. We discuss:The growth engine behind America's biggest wine brand: How Barefoot keeps growing year after year in a flat category.Consumer obsession as strategy: Why longtime winemaker Jen Wall's 30-year run is built on being “intellectually curious about consumers” — not just about wine.Format innovation that fuels recruitment: How Tetra packs, single serves, and flavored wines are attracting Gen Z and bringing new drinkers into the category.How Barefoot wins culture: From the NFL partnership to viral campaigns like the Bandwagon Box with Donna Kelce, Britt explains how Barefoot makes wine feel right at home in football season and pop culture.Branding lessons for every entrepreneur: Britt's advice for founders on why packaging is your silent salesperson — and why brand relevance beats perfection in the glass.The future of wine: Why Britt believes the current wine slowdown is cyclical, not structural — and how the industry can fight back for consumer attention (and dollars).For any drinks entrepreneur or marketer trying to understand how legacy brands stay fresh this episode is packed with takeaways on modern brand building.

My goal in this podcast episode is to give you LOTS of ideas of things you can do, that each only take 10 minutes, that will level up your life in some way.  I think most of us feel like we want less time on our phones and more time doing things that make us feel fulfilled or have more energy or stronger relationships or make more money or whatever it is.  But, it's just so much easier to default to scrolling rather than adding in a consistent 10 minute habit that really stacks up over time.  Well, that's no longer because I've compiled a massive list of 10 minute habit ideas for you that you can pick from based on your priorities right now.  Let's break it down in the different buckets of life!  For Energy, Focus, and Longevity Take electrolytes first thing in the morning... replenish hydration and minerals for brain clarity and steady energy. Ten minutes of sunlight exposure... triggers cortisol awakening response, regulates circadian rhythm, boosts mood. Red light therapy... 10 minutes in front of a red-light panel to improve mitochondrial function and recovery. Cold plunge or cold shower for 3–10 minutes... boosts dopamine and metabolism for hours afterward. Ten minutes of stretching or mobility work... especially in the morning; wakes up the body and reduces stiffness. Barefoot grounding outside... 10 minutes on grass or sand to lower inflammation and stress hormones. Ten minutes of sprint intervals... short bursts that train mitochondria and improve cardiovascular health dramatically. Get your blood work done and take the right supplements... know your numbers and personalize your protocol. Prep protein... cook or portion protein for the day so you easily hit 30–50g per meal. Eat a high-protein breakfast... reduces hunger and improves focus all day. For Finances and Growth Ten minutes of money tracking... check spending, update budget, or review one financial goal daily. Ten minutes of reading or audiobook learning... one chapter a day equals 20 or more books a year. Ten minutes of skill building... learn guitar, code, Spanish, or design... whatever moves you forward. Ten minutes of reflection... write down what worked and what didn't today. That's how you make micro-improvements. Ten minutes of planning tomorrow... align your calendar with your goals before bed. For Relationships and Connection Ten-minute phone call or voice note to someone you love... strengthens bonds and releases oxytocin. Ten minutes of undistracted connection... put down the phone, hug your kids or partner, be fully present. Ten minutes of gratitude journaling focused on people... write down what you appreciate about those in your life. Ten-minute micro-dates... sit with your partner on the porch, go for a quick walk, or share coffee in the morning. Send one encouraging message... to a friend, coworker, or family member... spreads positivity fast. For Joy, Peace, and Fulfillment Ten minutes of meditation or deep breathing... lowers cortisol and improves emotional regulation. Ten minutes of prayer or quiet reflection... anchors you before the noise of the day. Ten minutes decluttering one drawer or space... creates visible progress and mental clarity. Ten minutes outside... barefoot, walking, or just sitting; sunlight and nature instantly boost your mood. Ten minutes of dancing, movement, or play... raise your state and reset your nervous system. Ten minutes of creative flow... doodle, write, design... get into that zone where time disappears. Ten minutes of laughter or comedy... laughter reduces stress hormones and boosts immunity. How to Make It Stick Pick 3 to 5 habits that fit your goals and rotate them daily. Stack new habits onto existing routines. Track it visually... checkmarks trigger motivation. Focus on consistency over intensity... ten minutes daily beats one hour once a week.   So that's the magic of ten minutes. You don't need a total life overhaul... you just need a few small, intentional blocks of time that you protect every day. Consistency compounds. Hydrate your body, feed your mind, move your muscles, connect with your people, and give yourself those tiny daily deposits that build a truly awesome life.   Link to my 2.0 System that I use to do all of this on the daily!  https://howtobeawesomeateverything.com/pages/2-0weeklyhabitsandplanningsystem   Thank you for listening!! 

Today on another encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to playwright, author and educator Luke Yankee, son of Oscar-winning actress Eileen Heckart. Luke spoke to us about his biography about his mother, Just Outside the Spotlight, his then upcoming play about his mother and the many, many tales he witnessed growing up the son of his actor/mother who was anything but a wilting flower. Eileen was a pistol and o're to be the subject of one of her pointed barbs! We also talk about host Josh Mills' mother Edie Adams who Luke had a first person connection to as well as some of Luke's mother's best known films, The Bad Seed, Barefoot in the Park, Butterflies Are Free and more. Along with that comes great tales about Goldie Hawn, George Segal, Soupy Sales, Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe and many more. While all of these amazing stories are told with a fun and mirth, there was one moment that genuinely choked us up in it's beautiful humanity that we just loved hearing. It was a pure and honest moment that gave us a truly well rounded picture of the complex woman that was Eileen Heckert. Broadway, the big screen and even a pivotal role on the small screen on The Mary Tyler Moore Show are all part of this episode with Luke Yankee. Everyone has a story.

We meet an unusual hiker this week. Ken Posner has been a long-distance runner and hiker over the years, yet he has gradually morphed into a barefoot runner and hiker. Ken and I discuss this–to me–bizarre footwear choice, and he makes a compelling case for the advantages of barefoot walking. Ken has also taken on the fascinating project of “The Grid” in New York's Catskill Mountains, whereby he hikes each of over 30 mountains in every month of the year. This entails over 400 ascents, and the ability to see those mountains in changing weather and terrain as the year develops. Ken has written a terrific book about his pursuit of “The Grid,” which you can find here at Chasing the Grid: An Ultrarunner's Physical and Spiritual Journey in Pursuit of the Ultimate Mountain Challenge . You can learn more about Ken and his barefoot walking at his website, Barefoot Ken and the Long Brown Path . I used my hike last year on the South West Coast Path in the UK to help raise money for my absolute favorite charity, Parenting Matters, on whose board I've been privileged to serve for over a decade. You can learn more about the hike and the organization–and donate–by visiting Hike with Steve - Empowering Parents, One Step at a Time | Parenting Matters %. I hope you want to support this critical mission. Don't forget. Our entire series of videos from our Woods Hole Weekend in 2022 is now FREE and available at my YouTube page at Woods Hole Weekend - Trailer There, you'll find all sorts of tips and tricks that our guests took away from the weekend that helped them with their own hikes this year.

Gravity may be the most ignored signal in human biology, and it could be the missing key to unlocking fat loss, brain optimization, and true longevity. In this episode, you'll learn how Earth's pull shapes your metabolism, mood, and resilience, and discover practical hacks to fight “gravity intolerance” so you can perform better, live longer, and upgrade every system in your body. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Brennan Spiegel, a Professor of Medicine and Public Health at UCLA, Director of Health Services Research at Cedars-Sinai, and author of Pull: How Gravity Shapes Your Body, Steadies the Mind, and Guides Our Health. A leading voice in digital health and immersive medicine, Dr. Spiegel brings decades of clinical and research experience exploring the intersection of the gut-brain axis, neuropsychology, and mind-body medicine. In this episode, he reveals why gravity influences everything from gut health to depression — and why modern medicine has largely ignored its role. His work bridges functional medicine, neuroscience, and biohacking to uncover a hidden force that shapes human performance at every level. You'll Learn: • Why gravity is the most ignored biohacking signal in human health • How gravity intolerance shows up as back pain, fatigue, obesity, and depression • The surprising connection between gravity, serotonin, and mood regulation • How weighted vests, balance boards, and proprioception training hack graviception • Why sleep optimization, posture, and fascia resilience are gravity-based health tools • How Earth's pull influences gut health, metabolism, and even consciousness You'll learn how gravity connects to obesity, back pain, blood pressure, serotonin, and even consciousness. Dave and Dr. Spiegel explore how weighted vests, balance boards, vibration, and sleep optimization can hack your body's response to gravity. This channel dives into mitochondria, neuroplasticity, fasting, ketosis, supplements, and how biohackers can apply these insights alongside tools like cold therapy, nootropics, and even Danger Coffee to build resilience and extend longevity.

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).
