Vor wenigen Tagen ging mit Balanced Performance eines meiner Camps zu Ende. Vier Tage Trailrunning, Leistungsdiagnostik, Austausch, Reflexion und viele Begegnungen, die noch lange nachwirken.In dieser Solo-Episode nehme ich dich mit hinter die Kulissen des Camps und teile Gedanken, die mich seitdem beschäftigen.Gemeinsam mit Klaus Gösweiner, Vincent Vermeulen, Dorien Vermeulen, Moran Vermeulen und Marlies „Lizz“ Hirschbeck durften wir 15 Menschen auf ihrem ganz persönlichen Weg begleiten – mit unterschiedlichsten Voraussetzungen, Zielen und Geschichten.Dabei wurde mir wieder einmal bewusst:„Es gibt nicht die eine Methode.“Wir sprechen über Leistungsdiagnostik, Laktatmessungen, Herzfrequenzzonen und moderne Trainingssteuerung. Gleichzeitig geht es aber um etwas, das sich nicht messen lässt:Körpergefühl.Denn so hilfreich Daten, Uhren und Analysen sein können – sie ersetzen niemals die Fähigkeit, den eigenen Körper wahrzunehmen und die richtigen Schlüsse daraus zu ziehen.Ein Highlight des Camps war unser Feldtest am Kulmberg. Im strömenden Regen warteten Vincent Vermeulen und Marlies „Lizz“ Hirschbeck mit Wohnmobil, Laktatmessgeräten und viel Begeisterung am Berg auf die Teilnehmer. Mitten unter ihnen: Julia Mayer, die ihre Bergintervalle absolvierte und die Testung gemeinsam mit uns durchlief. Ein unvergesslicher Tag – inklusive Downhill querfeldein durch den Wald. Ein Video von diesem besonderen Tag findest du auf Instagram.Ein weiterer Gedanke, der mich durch das gesamte Camp begleitet hat:„Wir lernen von jeder Person, die zum Camp kommt, immer wieder dazu.“Es geht um Zuhören statt Dogmen, um Gesundheit vor kurzfristiger Leistung und um die Frage, wie nachhaltige Entwicklung im Sport eigentlich gelingen kann.Außerdem spreche ich über:Leistungsdiagnostik am Laufband und am BergTraining zwischen Wissenschaft und Körpergefühldie Bedeutung von RegenerationGemeinschaft und Teamgefühl bei Campswarum ich keine Patentrezepte magdie Entwicklung von runventure® und meinen Camp-FormatenDankbarkeit, Lernen und persönliche BegegnungenBesonders berührt mich immer wieder, wie schnell aus einer Gruppe von Menschen ein echtes Team entstehen kann.„Das Schönste ist, wenn Menschen merken: Ich bin gar nicht alleine.“Vielen Dank an mein Team und an alle Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer für euer Vertrauen, eure Offenheit und die gemeinsamen Tage in der Ramsau.Leistungszentrum Ramsau: https://www.lz-ramsau.at/Wenn dir die Folge gefallen hat, freue ich mich riesig über:eine 5-Sterne-Bewertung auf Spotify oder Apple Podcastsdas Teilen der Episodeoder wenn du Running Free an Menschen weiterempfiehlst, denen das Gespräch guttun könnte

This week's Frankly is part three of the series How to Think About the Future. Today, Nate builds a framework for understanding the pathways that connect today's choices to tomorrow's realities. Drawing from biology, ecology, history, and systems thinking, he introduces a civilizational terrain of ridges and valleys that is constantly shifting as we are moving through it. Nate also uses the concepts of switchbacks and erosion to explain why some futures emerge by default from existing incentives and momentum, while others require deliberate effort, coordination, and sustained commitment. Through examples that range from cell development to lake ecosystems to political systems, Nate examines how complex systems settle into stable states, and why some transitions are far easier to make than to reverse. As economic, geopolitical, and ecological pressures reshape the landscape we traverse, knowing which futures are downhill and which require climbing becomes increasingly important. The episode offers a conceptual tool for interpreting the composite worlds Nate will outline in the next part of the series, and invites listeners to consider both where they stand in the terrain and whether their daily actions are building pathways toward a more desirable future, or letting those paths erode. How do societies become trapped in self-reinforcing systems, and what does that look like in our current reality? Which futures seem most likely if present incentives and momentum hold? And which social, cultural, or ecological switchbacks are being built today that could open new possibilities tomorrow (Recorded May 22nd, 2026)   Show Notes and More   Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

The 2026 World Cup Downhill season rolled into France for Round 2, and Loudenvielle delivered one of the most unpredictable races we've seen in years. Photographer and World Cup insider Sven Martin joins me for another edition of Bench Racing as we break down a weekend defined by blown-out conditions, huge crashes, surprise results, and a long-awaited first World Cup victory for Lucas Shaw. We dive into the incredible crash rate that caught out many of the sport's biggest names, the costly mistakes from Asa Vermette and Jackson Goldstone, Loïc Bruni's injury concerns, and why the overall championship picture has suddenly been blown wide open. We also discuss Vali Höll's growing dominance, the rise of the sport's next generation, and which riders left France with momentum heading into Leogang. Bench Racing is your go-to source for technical analysis, insider perspectives, and post-race debriefs after every single World Cup round this season. Tune in for one of the deepest dives into Downhill racing anywhere in the sport.

Slacker has a pop quiz for everyone...

When you hear, 'it's all downhill from here,' do you interpret it as things getting worse or things getting easier?

Quick debate: is it positive or negative to say "It's all downhill from here"? Then Group Therapy had us fired up when Jacob wants to know if he should dump his "unicorn" new lady because of what she did on their first date! Most of us said YES dump her! Plus we got an update from Robin about her 'helpful hubby' and the divorcee!

When you hear "it's all downhill from here", do you think it means things are getting better or worse?

It probably isn't.And the problem starts at the top.Zora Artis and Wayne Aspland have spent 7 years studying the gap between what leadership teams say they're doing and what's actually happening inside organizations. And their findings are uncomfortable. In their latest global study, drawing on interviews with 55 CEOs and senior executives across five continents, they found that leaders routinely leave strategy meetings carrying completely different understandings of the direction they just agreed on. Nobody admits it. And communications professionals get handed the impossible job of aligning everyone else around a strategy the leadership team hasn't genuinely aligned on themselves. In this episode, we break down why the gap has barely moved in seven years, what's actually driving it, and what communications professionals are uniquely positioned to do about it.  The full findings are being presented IABC World Conference 2026 in Toronto this June.Register https://wc.iabc.com/  Download the full Report and Infographic Summary here. Listen For4:11 What does true organizational alignment actually mean beyond agreement?7:44 Why do leaders think they're aligned but act differently after meetings?9:09 How do fear and ego silently destroy alignment in executive teams?12:18 What is “glass head syndrome” and why does it derail strategy execution?17:18 Is AI making organizational alignment better or worse?Guests:Zora ArtisWebsite Artis Advisory | Website Clear Leaders | Email | LinkedInWayne AsplandWebsite Clear Leaders | Email | LinkedIn DougSubstack | Website | LinkedIn Are you a brand with a podcast that needs support?

May 1-3 is round one of Downhill Midwest, at Shepherd Mountain Bike Park in Ironton, Mo. Tradtional-format DH is here! Klint sits down in-person with race promoter Alex Anderson to talk about the event and series.

20 years. That's how long it took one Marine Corps Veteran - a helicopter mechanic, Iraq War combat Veteran, self-described adventurer - to finally say yes. It took one rec therapist in Cleveland who wouldn't give up on him. This week is his first time at the National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic. The National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic is the world leader in rehabilitation. Approximately 400 profoundly disabled Veterans participate from across the country. Veterans with TBIs, spinal cord injuries, visual impairments, amputations, multiple sclerosis, and other severe disabilities are challenged to overcome perceived limitations through adaptive skiing, sled hockey, scuba diving, rock wall climbing, education and other activities. It is the largest rehabilitative event of its kind in the world. Stay tuned all week for more episodes of the Downhill Daily!

This is part nine of a ten-part series from Garrett, a residential contractor on a remote forty-seven-acre property in the southern Appalachians of western North Carolina.On September 21, 2019, Garrett and his longtime friend Cliff hike to a ridge shoulder above the property at dusk to deliberately attempt wood knocks and a call blast. Cliff brings a baseball bat for striking and Garrett brings an audio recorder with a directional microphone.They set up about two hundred yards south of the bluff where Garrett had previously observed three creatures on the talus slope.Cliff's first three bat strikes on a dead oak produce a response within two minutes. A single heavy knock from the north, toward the bluff, at roughly a hundred and fifty yards. A second round of knocking draws two responses from the north and a third from the east, down the Bishop Creek drainage, confirming at least two separate individuals bracketing their position. Cliff identifies the two sources by their different acoustic signatures.Garrett then plays a Sierra Sounds vocalization through a Bluetooth speaker.After nearly four minutes of silence, the ridge produces three simultaneous responses. A sustained rising vocalization from the north at close range. A rapid series of barking tonal bursts from the east, closer than the previous knock. And a massive tree strike from the south, directly on their primary exit route back to the cabin.With three sides covered and only the western downslope open, Garrett directs their descent through trailless hardwood forest toward the meadow. Something parallels them on the north side, tapping position knocks coordinated with answering taps from the ridge behind them. Halfway down, both men experience strong infrasound, a subsonic vibration felt in the chest, teeth, and inner ear that produces disorientation and acute anxiety. A heavy branch snap from forty yards confirms proximity. At the tree line, all sounds and the infrasound cease simultaneously, and Garrett and Cliff cross the meadow to the cabin.Cliff tells Garrett he won't return to the property after dark and drives home the next morning. Garrett retrieves the recorder the following day and finds seven hours of post-encounter audio including knocking at 11:42 PM, a low vocalization at 1:15 AM, and clear heavy footsteps passing within ten feet of the recorder at 3:27 AM.The series concludes with Story Ten, in which Garrett discovers what Earl left behind and finally understands why the creatures have allowed him to stay.Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods?

In this episode of Golf Party Live, we tackle something every golfer—especially beginners—must learn: how to handle adverse lies with confidence. Let's be real—golf is not played off perfect grass. Your ball will end up in divots, hardpan, desert lies, and awkward slopes that can make you want to cry. But here's the truth: golf is recovery, golf is resilience, and golf is problem-solving. Once you understand how to approach these situations, your game becomes calmer, more confident, and honestly… a lot more fun. In this episode, we break down: What an adverse lie actually is How to handle: Divots in the fairway Hardpan lies Desert lies (buried, sitting down, or tricky footing) Extreme and awkward lies The four types of slope lies and how to play each: Uphill lie Downhill lie Ball above your feet Ball below your feet Why it's okay to bump the ball when the rules allow—and what "playing it down" really means Smart strategies to keep the ball in play and your confidence intact This episode is all about learning how to adapt, make good decisions, and stop letting tough lies derail your round. When you know what to do, those scary situations turn into opportunities to build skill and trust in your game. Thank you for tuning in to Golf Party Live. ✨ Share this episode with a golf girlfriend ✨ Tag us and tell us which lie you conquered this week ✨ And as always—have fun and go low ⛳️

Danny Hart joins The Ride Companion for a BANGER episode! In this episode, Danny takes us deep inside the world of World Cup downhill racing. He talks openly about pressure, qualifying formats and how the sport has evolved since his legendary 2011 Champery World Champs run which cemented his name in mountain biking history. Danny shares what it was like winning world championships at such a young age, the highs and lows of a long racing career and how he's managed to stay competitive in one of the toughest sports in the world. From travelling the globe with his family in a camper van to battling the new generation of riders like Jackson Goldstone, Amaury Pierron and Loïc Bruni, this episode gives a rare look into the mindset of a rider who has spent his life chasing speed. We also dive into race preparation, training, bike setup, the mental side of racing, and what really happens behind the scenes at the Downhill World Cup. Danny explains why racing is often far more intense than it looks on TV, and why even after decades in the sport, nothing compares to the feeling of dropping into a race run.

When a fun moment unexpectedly turns into a child's unhappiness or even rude behavior, it can leave us feeling confused, frustrated, and even a little defeated. But what looks like an "overreaction" is often the result of a child's nervous system quietly working overtime... and we weren't aware of it! In this episode, you'll hear: • What's really happening beneath the surface when kids go from excited to unhappy so quickly • How repeated moments like this can shape the way children see themselves (as "too much" or incapable) • Simple ways to reduce these reactions --  FREE: Does your child have a narrow zone of tolerance?

Breezy Johnson just won the 2026 Olympic Gold Medal in women's Downhill, and she also won Gold at the 2025 World Championships.

From a hotel breakfast room in Michigan, Jeff Risdon set a practical free agency roadmap for the Detroit Lions on Sunday. The legal tampering period opens Monday. Signings start Wednesday. Expect targeted moves over splashy pursuits. Free Agency, Not a Spending Spree Big-ticket names sit out there. Hendrickson was the example. Tyler Lindenbaum at center came up too. Both would be great. Both feel unlikely. A bidding war does not fit the Lions plan. The focus is cost, fit, and familiarity. Scheme matters. Character matters. Past connections to Lions coaches and staff matter. That is the lane. Smart contracts for players who match what the Detroit Lions do, not headline chases. The door is open to being surprised, but the expectation is restraint. Quarterback Room: Keep It Steady The quarterback spot is simple. The team is built around Jared Goff. Kyle Allen as a solid No. 2 works. Bring him back and keep the operation clean. If Allen returns, there is no need to add another veteran. Detroit can still bring in a project as a No. 3. Think a UFL quarterback or an undrafted rookie. Even a low-cost trade for a developmental arm was mentioned. Sam Howell was floated for a laugh more than football reasons. Status quo at quarterback is fine. Backfield Help and a Budget WR4 Running back is a need. The question is investment level at RB2 now that David Montgomery is gone. Detroit wants a complement to Jamir Gibbs. Eight to twelve touches per game. Reliable hands. Good pass protection. A runner who hits the crease without delay. Wilson was the top name on the realistic board. A sturdy between-the-tackles runner with dependable receiving. He has been a second option before and can be that again next to Gibbs. Later in the market, an Isaiah Pacheco type fits too. Downhill. Short-yardage strength. Willing in pass protection. A past knee injury was noted, but the style matches what the Lions can afford if they avoid high prices. At wide receiver, the top three are set, with Saint Jr. and Teslaa among the group. They will command most of the targets. Kalif Raymond can return as the kick returner on a short deal. Another team might view him as a WR3, so price matters. Detroit should not pay a premium for WR4. A ring-chasing veteran could still make sense. DeAndre Hopkins fits if the number is small. Think a one-year, 3.5 million dollar deal with incentives. Strong hands. Savvy routes. Willing blocker. He knows he is not the feature. It is not a priority, and the money may play better elsewhere, especially with internal options like Dominic Lovett coming. But if the price is right, it helps the room. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #legaltamperingperiod #hendrickson #tylerlindenbaum #jaredgoff #kyleallen #uflquarterback #undraftedrookie #rb2complement #jamirgibbs #davidmontgomerydeparture Learn more about your ad choices.

1 Hour and 31 Minutes With David Nasternak and Alex Drain This Podcast Has a Sponsor: Michigan Law Grad Jonathan Paul is the guy with the C you want skating next to the ref and pleading your case. He's also a good guy to sit next to at the hockey games. Segment 1 Curling mixed doubles on the quad box, biathlon, and why speed skating is faster than it looks. Downhill skiing is insane. The Friday night 4-3 OT game was insane. The game was even early, tilted towards the Spartans late in the second. Michigan came out with their backs against the wall and their hair on fire in the third. Refs swallowed their whistles and missed some egregious calls. Barnett's goal sent Yost back to the Old Yost days. Frustration about roster decisions and puck management but Moldenhauer and Perron have become consistent scorers. This game was what the rivalry is all about.    Segment 2 Well, let's talk about the second game. The press box at Little Caesars Arena causes vertigo and lower box hockey tickets are a scam. Michigan came out flat, sloppy, and chasing the game almost immediately. Dave spotted Ivankovic in the press box and then on the ice moments later... because it was the 4th string goalie who looks just like him. Michigan's top-end talent vanished as they gave up a 4-0 lead, the first goal was especially ugly. Perron and Moldenhauer gave some hope but a power play that couldn't enter the zone ended all hope. Michigan looks like the best team in the country on Fridays and deeply mortal on Saturdays. The Hage-Horkoff line goes quiet when Michigan needs them most. Too many statement weekends turn into split-series shrugs. MUSIC NHL on ESPN Theme "The Kids Are Alright" -- Barns Courtney Ice Hockey (NES) theme
