On this special episode we share an episode of The Resilient Humans podcast where host Kevin Wood interviews Kari! Here's what they cover in this great conversation: "Kari Schneider joins me today. As a certified life coach, expert in strength and conditioning, exercise physiology, and biomechanics, Kari worked her way to her dream job at the Canadian Sport Institute. She opened her own functional fitness training centre in 2005, and worked with the best athletes in Canada. In 2020, she closed her brick-and-mortar and transitioned to coaching online. She shares her story of overcoming significant challenges and depression, which led to her current autoimmune disease. We also talk about victim mentality, behaviour change, the transformational process, and the less talked about side of resiliency."   The Empowered Team is your ticket to your next level - learn more via the link below: https://bit.ly/TheEmpoweredTEAM

This week's guests on the Pacey Performance Podcast are Dana Agar-Newman and Jeremy Sheppard. Dana is a senior practitioner at the Canadian Sport Institute Pacific, and a head strength conditioning coordinator at the University of Victoria. He has also worked in rowing and rugby, including with the Canadian women's rugby sevens team at Rio 2016. Jeremy is a strength conditioning coach with Canada Snowboard, previously having also worked with the Canadian Sport Institute. The duo have recently written the jumping and landing training chapter in High Performance Training for Sports (second edition). Here, they discuss aspects of their research such as jump testing analysis and performance metrics, explaining the metrics to measure between differing sports and athlete levels. They also talk about tools to avoid, and whether to pursue variations in training. In addition, the pair also talk about jump sustainability and what works in different sports and for different athletes. This includes what to consider when developing jumping exercises, force vectors, and landing evaluations. When it comes to jumps training, performance development and analysis, this week's guests quite literally wrote the book on it, so hit the play button now for all this insight and much, much more. This week's topics: Jump testing analysis Tools to avoid due to their unreliability Differing sport-specific analysis metrics Differing metrics based on athlete experience and level The process for developing jumping exercises Arguments for and against lots of variation in training Force vectors and choosing exercises based on vertical and horizontal Jump sustainability, and the programming that influences it Landing evaluations and differences between sports What landings can tell us about other training variables, e.g., deceleration

Nutrition is always a hot topic with runners, and today’s guest, Trent Stellingwerff brings a wealth of knowledge and extensive research into how nutrition affects our physiology. Trent and I cover a wide range of topics that touch on more than just nutrition, from the notion that trying to do 5 or 6 things really well is simply impossible and leads to doing nothing well and his focus on health, mobility and wellness over an entire lifetime.  We cover whether there is really one way to eat that is better than any other, and how dietary choices are dependent on one’s individual history, training loads, and a continuum of macro and micro nutrients.  You will also learn why a simple focus on what and how much you eat for breakfast is probably the most important food choice you can make to help your performance and overall health. For you listening that are not simply runners but also are perhaps doing Triathlons, Trent works with a wide variety of athletes from runners to rowers, cyclists, swimmers etc.  Our discussions covers the different training loads in terms of hours of training and how those impact the nutritional needs and focus for athletes of all types. Today’s Guest Trent Stellingwerff Trent  Stellingwerff is an applied sport physiologist with a specialization in the area of performance nutrition. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Human Nutrition and Exercise Physiology at Cornell University and he earned his Ph.D. from the University of Guelph in Exercise and Skeletal Muscle Physiology.  He is currently the Director of Performance Solutions at the Canadian Sports Institute, with a focus on providing his physiology and nutrition expertise to Canada’s national rowing, track and field and triathlon teams.  He also heads the Canadian Sport Institute’s Innovation and Research division. Trent previously worked as the senior leading scientist in Performance Nutrition for Power Bar at the Nestle Research Center in Lausanne, Switzerland. Trent ran middle distances in his collegiate career for Cornell until he was sidelined by injury.  Trent’s lives with his wife Hilary, a two time Olympian, and their children in Victoria, Canada. What you will learn about: How just a focus on breakfast can make a huge difference in our overall health and performance. How accurately measuring energy input and output is like trying to measure rain in a hurricane.  Both are fraught with over and under-reporting. How it is important to understand the calorie and nutritional breakdown of what you are eating but not stress over the number of calories as it is less important than the overall balance of what is in each item. How runners tend to be picker about what they eat but can quickly get into trouble by not fueling enough to support the pounding their bodies endure.  How the pounding forces and upright posture of running impacts the GI system and leads to somewhat unique issues related to digestion and fueling. How athletes in the hotbed of distance running (Kenya and Ethiopia) are eating pretty close to the land.  Their dinner probably just walked by them a few moments ago. How the pounding forces and upright posture of running impacts the GI system and leads to somewhat unique issues related to digestion and fueling. What the role of supplements should be in our diets   Inspirational Quotes: Are you happy, healthy and are you running well?
