Chasing Mastery: 25 Lessons to Cultivate Your Full Potential in Endurance Sports: Fitzgerald, Matt: 9798990795808: Amazon.com: Books Get Gritty Tip: Chasing Mastery Take-Aways April: There's so much that I learned that it's hard to choose one, but I'd have to say I loved and will continue to think about the power of self-regulation. I think that is such a magnificent concept and speaks to how our daily choices really do determine our long term outcomes. True mastery comes from self-regulation: the ability to control your emotions, thoughts, and actions in pursuit of your goals. Talent and training matter, but they're not enough. The best athletes—regardless of age or ability—are those who develop discipline, resilience, and the capacity to push themselves to their absolute limit. Mastery isn't about being the fastest; it's about taking control of what you can and becoming the best version of yourself. I can choose to be Marcus or Bella…Being good at a sport isn't just about performance or raw speed—it's about mastering your full potential. Rich: What I loved about it is that it's so empowering. On the one hand it helps us to accept that we only have the potential we were born with, but it also gives us all of the responsibility of living up to that potential. The responsibility is squarely on the athlete to master and own all the decisions. Whether it's how well you executed today's workout, the decisions that set you up for success for not, decisions around training, recovery, nutrition, injury - everything. Even the decision to work with a coach or not. TriDot Workout of the Week: “Fartleks” Where does the word “Fartlek” come from and what does it mean? Fartlek - Wikipedia Fartlek is a middle and long-distance runner's training approach developed in the late 1930s by Swedish Olympian Gösta Holmér. It has been described as a relatively unscientific blending of continuous training (e.g., long slow distance training), with its steady pace of moderate-high intensity aerobic intensity,[2] and interval training, with its “spacing of more intense exercise and rest intervals.” Simply stated, in its widely adapted contemporary forms, Fartlek training is alternating periods of faster and slower running, often over natural terrain, including both “level and hilly terrain. Session Note As with interval runs, the goal with fartleks is to be consistent throughout the session from start to finish. Don't go out too fast or cut your recovery periods short early in the session. This will negatively impact your training toward the end of your session. Be disciplined and hold consistent pacing and recovery periods for the entire session. Warmup 2-3 min jog followed by 2x10 yards or meters of each drill: Quick Feet Butt Kicks Skipping for Height & Distance A Skips Asymmetric Arm Swings B Skips Bounds 2 x 40-60 yard or meter Strides Leg Swings Main Set 3-9 x 4 min @ Z4 (60 sec jog) Balance of time @ Z2 Session Note Your goal is to perform each repeat with a consistent effort. The pace of your last repeat should be the same or slightly faster than your first. Be conservative and don't go out too hard on the first one else your later repeats will be negatively impacted. The most significant training benefit will come in how well you perform on the last few efforts. Recoveries should be at an extremely slow jog. Fun Segment: Tri-Battle: April vs. Rich Triathlon Edition – Do Rich and April Agree, or is There a Friendly Argument Brewing? Now we're taking this debate beyond the run and into the full triathlon experience! In this segement, we will break down our Top 5 triathlon favorites—but do we actually agree, or is this about to turn into a friendly (but competitive) triathlon showdown? How it Works: - After each pick is revealed, Rich and April have 30 seconds to defend their choice. - If we agree—great! Mutual validation. - If we disagree—it's time for the Great Triathlon Debate! - Each person gets 30 seconds to makes their case. - At the end, they either: - Convince the other to switch sides - Agree to disagree Who had the better argument? Folks, keep your eyes peeled for our polls this week on social media. Next episode, we'll reveal the results and either celebrate a victory lap or begrudgingly admit defeat. Closing: Thanks again for listening this week. Please be sure to follow us @303Triathlon and @grit2greatnessendurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment. We'd really appreciate it! Stay tuned, train informed, and enjoy the endurance journey!

Près de la moitié des pratiquants se blessent chaque année. Une stat qui paraît folle mais qui traduit de multiples réalités.En compagnie de Hervé Auquier, diplômé en médecine du sport et traumatologie du sport, nous avons donc tenté de comprendre dans ce nouvel épisode de Fartlek si la pratique du running amenait inévitablement à la blessure. Mais aussi et surtout, dans une optique préventive, quelles étaient les comportements à adopter pour éviter cette blessure qui nous attend toutes et tous au tournant. Bonne écoute
Fartlek is a Swedish term for “speed play.” This informal version of interval training is simple, effective and dare we say … enjoyable? And not just because "fartlek" is fun to say.Exercise columnist Gretchen Reynolds is here to vouch for this often-overlooked, decades-old practice. Reynolds, who helped popularize the 7-minute workout, has found that a growing body of research points to the benefits of this approach, even in small doses. According to exercise scientists, it can improve strength, endurance and longevity, and may even lower the risk of dementia. Read more: Don't like to exercise?

Quel amateur de course à pied n'a jamais été confronté à des troubles digestifs dans sa pratique? Dans ce nouvel épisode du podcast Fartlek, nous avons mis la santé intestinal des runners au coeur du débat. Les erreurs à éviter, les habitudes à adopter avant et après la course, la compréhension des mécanismes menant aux troubles digestifs, nous avons passé en revue la thématique en compagnie de Hugo De Winter, diététicien-nutritionniste lui-même désormais passionné de course à pied après avoir côtoyé le milieu professionnel chez les cyclistes.
In this insightful episode, hosts Andy and Cathy dive deep into the world of ultra-running, exploring the intricacies of key quality training sessions. Drawing from personal experiences and extensive reading, they demystify the often confusing terminologies and methodologies surrounding ultra-trail running training. The discussion begins with the concept of Fartlek, a playful and flexible speed training method that allows runners to experiment with different paces. Andy emphasizes the importance of understanding Fartlek as a non-prescriptive session, designed to ease athletes back into speed work while having fun. Next, they explore Threshold sessions, which are crucial for improving an athlete's endurance and speed. By breaking down the fastest pace a runner can sustain for 30 to 60 minutes into manageable intervals, Andy explains how these sessions can enhance an ultra-runner's overall performance. Tempo sessions are then introduced as a versatile tool for building endurance and preparing for longer races. These sessions, which are slightly less intense than threshold workouts, help runners practice pacing and fuel management, making them ideal for both beginners and advanced athletes. As the conversation progresses, the focus shifts to Speed sessions, which push athletes above their threshold pace. Andy and Cathy highlight the benefits of these sessions in improving running economy, efficiency, and injury resistance, while also acknowledging the potential risks for less experienced runners. Finally, the episode delves into VO2max sessions, examining their role in enhancing an athlete's maximum oxygen uptake and overall performance. While acknowledging the genetic factors that influence VO2max, the hosts provide guidance on who should incorporate these sessions into their training and when. Throughout the episode, Andy and Cathy provide practical examples, tips, and insights to help ultra-runners of all levels optimize their training and achieve their race goals. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or new to the world of ultra-trail running, this episode offers valuable knowledge to elevate your running journey.
Des premiers kilomètres en course à pied à la pratique de l'ultra-trail, il n'y a souvent qu'une étape, franchie par de plus en plus d'amateurs en quête d'aventures et de défis. Pierre Masset, jeune trentenaire originaire de Bruxelles, vient de prendre part à une course de 660 km à travers le Valais (SwissPeaks 660) et au Marathon des Sables en 2024. Pourtant, en 2021, il découvrait à peine la course à pied. Dans ce nouvel épisode du podcast Fartlek, nous avons évoqué avec lui les particularités, les folies et dangers ou encore l'attrait de l'ultra-trail, une discipline qui n'est peut-être pas si inaccessible qu'elle ne peut y paraître, à condition de l'aborder avec humilité.
Retiré depuis la fin des Jeux de Paris 2024 de son poste d'entraîneur des Belgian Tornados, Jacques Borlée s'est positionné pour prendre les commandes de la Ligue Belge Francophone d'Athlétisme (LBFA). Dans ce nouvel épisode de Fartlek, Jacques Borlée, 67 ans, nous partage sa vision pour tirer vers le haut l'athlétisme en Belgique, plus particulièrement pour les athlètes et les clubs évoluant à Bruxelles et en Wallonie. Entre transmission, fierté, amour et entrepreneuriat, les idées et les actions ne manquent pas. Pour le haut niveau comme pour tous les pratiquants amateurs de course à pied.
Running has a language of its own with terms that can range from obscure to downright hilarious. Training terms like tempo runs and fartleks can sound like gibberish if you're newer to the sport. We're probably even guilty on this show of using some of this running lingo without explaining first what it means. That ends today, because this show is all about helping you to understand common terms used by runners. Whether you're with a running group or getting ready for a race, you might overhear some of this running lingo and wonder what it means. Coach Hayley is answering these questions by covering the most common or bizarre terms runners like to throw around. This way, you can understand the unique vocabulary of running or even use some of these phrases to impress your running friends. Some of the training terms we'll cover include: What is a fartlek run? Is there a difference between a PR and a PB? What does it mean to sandbag a run? Why you might experience runger if you're training for a marathon There's too many running terms to cover them all but we handpicked the best ones for you to know so let's get into it!

MAS Iron Outside of training deficiencies, low iron is one of the most common reasons for poor results during workouts and races. Recent research indicates that almost 56% of male runners and 86% of female runners suffer from an iron deficiency that severely hampers performance. The problem with eating iron-rich foods or supplementing with traditional iron supplements is that iron is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb and utilize. In fact, only about 25% of dietary iron found in animal sources is absorbed while 17% or less of the iron from plant sources is absorbed. But MAS Iron has found a way to combat these absorption issues to ensure you can get the iron you need for health and performance. By combining the most efficiently absorbed form of elemental iron with clinically proven ingredients to aid in absorption, MAS Iron performs like no other iron product on the market. In fact, clinical research has shown the combination of ingredients in MAS Iron can quadruple absorption and increase bioavailability by 30%, all while reducing GI issues by 50%.

Summary In this podcast episode, Cher and Carina discuss running terms and jargon. Carina introduces common running terms and asks Cher for her thoughts on them. They cover acronyms like PB (personal best) and PR (personal record), as well as terms like DNS (did not start) and DNF (did not finish). They also discuss terms like starting corral, splits, taper, strides, and fartlek. Cher learns the meanings of these terms and finds the running jargon both amusing and educational. Takeaways Running has its own set of terms and jargon that may be unfamiliar to non-runners. Acronyms like PB and PR refer to personal best and personal record, respectively. DNS stands for did not start, indicating a runner who signed up for a race but couldn't participate. DNF stands for did not finish, indicating a runner who started a race but couldn't complete it. Starting corrals are used in larger races to organize runners based on their expected finish times. Splits refer to the time intervals in a run, often measured in miles. Tapering is the process of reducing mileage and intensity before a race to prepare the body for peak performance. Strides are short bursts of speed during a run, typically lasting 10-15 seconds. Fartlek is a type of interval workout with varying intervals and no specific structure. Understanding running terms and jargon can help runners communicate and navigate the running community.

Est-ce une bonne idée de pratiquer le vélo en parallèle à la course à pied? En compagnie de l'athlète Nicolas Schyns, qui a couru les 20 Km de Bruxelles en 1h00.41 en mai 2024 (6e place) avant de prendre part aux Championnats d'Europe de duathlon en juin (8e), nous avons discuté des avantages et des désavantages de l'entraînement croisé (course à pied/cyclisme) dans ce cinquième épisode du podcast Fartlek.
In this Microcast episode, Coach Zoe and TJ discuss the effectiveness of plyometrics in running, the value of reading race reports, the impact of changing shoes during a race, and the comparison between Tabata and fartlek workouts. They also explore the challenge of the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim-to-rim run. The conversation covers the topics of fartlek training and heat training for athletes. It discusses the benefits and drawbacks of different training methods and the importance of self-talk and individual adaptation to heat training. The conversation emphasizes the need for a long-term approach to training and the importance of understanding one's own physiology and training goals. 00:00 The Impact of Plyometrics on Running Economy 04:28 The Value of Race Reports in Race Preparation 14:23 Strategic Shoe Changes During a Race 23:33 Conquering the Grand Canyon: Rim to Rim to Rim Challenge 25:17 Optimizing Athletic Training: Fartlek and Heat Training 31:01 The Art of Heat Training: Adapting to Thermal Stress 49:47 Long-Term Gains: A Holistic Approach to Athletic Training Takeaways Plyometrics can improve running economy and efficiency, even with reduced training mileage. Reading race reports may not always be useful for race preparation, as individual experiences vary widely. Changing shoes during a race should be intentional and based on efficiency gains, with consideration for terrain and foot conditions. Fartlek workouts are beneficial for improving lipid metabolism, glycogen recovery, power output, and muscle fiber recruitment. Tabata workouts may not be as effective for runners due to the impact on metabolic efficiency and neuromuscular adaptations. Fartlek training can be beneficial for athletes when used appropriately, providing a mix of zone three work and recovery. Heat training involves adapting to heat exposure, which can lead to improved performance and thermal tolerance. Individual physiology and self-talk play a significant role in heat acclimation and performance. A long-term approach to training, focusing on consistency, recovery, and refueling, is essential for maximizing athletic potential. Understanding one's own physiology and training goals is crucial when considering different training methods and interventions.

It's Thursday and you know what that means... After a short hiatus, we are BACK with a bang! As What the Fartlek turns 3, what better way to kick of the new series than with the Yorkshire Ewok himself, Mr Mathew Taylor. Matt talks about his running journey, community and his plans to smash Yorkshire Marathon in just over a weeks time. The lads reflect on a German adventure, discussing the new Women's marathon world record in the process. They also talk about injuries, plans for the future and why Pendle Way in a Day is back on the horizon (shudder!) Ben and Emma are back to round up the last 3 weeks of Parkrun and try and help SMJ find love in a new game that is in no way related to ITV's Blind Date - we had a lora lora laughs recording what was quite frankly, CHAOS!

This week's episode of The Sunday Shakeout features the ultimate guide to fartlek training for distance runners. I like to use the analogy of food when talking about fartlek training. Let's say that every single night for dinner you ate chicken, broccoli, and rice. The broccoli is raw, the chicken breast was simply thrown in the pan without any spices, and we the rice is just plain brown rice. From a nutritional perspective, this is a very nutrient-dense dinner. You are getting in high-quality lean protein, whole grain carbohydrates, and many micronutrients from the broccoli. However, who really wants to eat unreason chicken, raw broccoli, and brown rice every night for dinner? I sure don't. Training can often fall into this trap on monotony where we do the same thing every single week. Maybe that training is effective, but if you keep doing the same thing over and over, unless you have perfected a training model (which most people haven't) that is monotonous yet works, like the Ingebrigtsen model, then you are going to plateau. You are going to hit the wall with your gains. What if you spiced up your training, changed your training so that you can keep seeing improvement? People think of training more, training harder, or training differently. These are all great things and I think you should look to improve your training in these ways every cycle. However, fartlek training is another way to spice up your training. It can add some variety, some variation. So spice up that chicken, maybe have salmon one night, or steamed carrots. If you add fartlek training to change things up a bit, you might just see some great improvement in your running, something that we all love. But what even is fartlek training. Today, I address that question, and many more. I hope you enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout! In this episode, I talk about: The versatility of fartlek workouts What even are fartlek workouts How to structure fartlek workouts The two main types of fartleks Tips for fartlek workouts Thank you Feedspot!

Si eres corredor o corredora, es probable que hayas escuchado el término "fartlek" en alguna ocasión. El fartlek, que significa "juego de velocidad" en sueco, es un sistema de entrenamiento inventado en Suecia en la década de 1930 por Gosta Hölmer. Casi cien años después, sigue siendo ampliamente utilizado en todo el mundo debido a sus beneficios para mejorar la resistencia y la velocidad en la carrera. El fartlek es un sistema de entrenamiento que consiste en realizar cambios de ritmo durante una sesión de carrera. A diferencia de un entrenamiento estructurado con intervalos fijos, el fartlek es más flexible y te permite adaptar los cambios de ritmo según tus sensaciones y el entorno en el que te encuentres. Es una forma divertida y variada de entrenar, ya que puedes combinar diferentes distancias, velocidades y terrenos en una misma sesión. Para comenzar a introducir el fartlek en tu plan de entrenamiento, es importante tener una base sólida de carrera. Si eres principiante, es recomendable empezar añadiendo gradualmente kilómetros y tiempo a tus sesiones de rodaje antes de incorporar el fartlek. Una vez que te sientas cómodo/a con un volumen de entrenamiento estable, puedes comenzar a experimentar con el fartlek. Recuerda que no hay una regla escrita sobre el tiempo que debes dedicar al fartlek. Es importante escuchar a tu cuerpo y no excederte. Si eres principiante, comienza con intervalos más cortos y aumenta gradualmente la duración e intensidad a medida que adquieras más experiencia y tu cuerpo se adapte. El fartlek es una herramienta versátil que se puede adaptar a tu nivel de condición física y objetivos personales. Al incorporar el fartlek en tu plan de entrenamiento, estarás trabajando tanto la resistencia como la velocidad. Este sistema de entrenamiento te ayudará a acostumbrarte a cambiar de ritmo durante una carrera, lo cual puede ser muy útil en competiciones donde necesitas adaptarte a diferentes terrenos y ritmos impuestos por tus adversarios. ¡Diviértete explorando el fartlek y disfruta de los beneficios que te brinda en tu carrera! _________________________________________________________________ ¿Quieres seguir viendo más? 📍https://www.instagram.com/xim_escanellas/ 📍https://www.instagram.com/estrategas.Traill/ Youtube: 📍https://www.youtube.com/c/XimEscanellasEstrategas/videos __________________________________________________________________ ¿Te gustaría saber más sobre nuestro filosofía de entrenamiento y como podemos ayudarte a dar un paso más en tus entrenamientos?

The half marathon is one of the most underrated distances you can train for and race. Not only is it a good stepping stone in volume for newer runners, but it's a great way to mix up training for more advanced runners. In today's episode, Coach Ruiari and Coach Dylan are going to talk about… Why moving up or down to the half marathon distance can help you combine speed and strength training. Why training for several months consistently is necessary for success in longer races. The importance of building your lactate threshold during training, especially for a half marathon And specific workouts you can use to crush your next Half Marathon If you've got an upcoming Half Marathon or are thinking about what to do for your next race, this is a great listen. Here are some of the sample workouts discussed… Fartlek (short variation): Option 1: 15 x 1' at LT, 1' min at MP + 20-40s Option 2: 2 x 10 x 1' at LT, 1' min at MP + 20-40s ( 4 min between sets) Option 3: 15 x 1' at LT, 1' min at MP + 20-40s, 4 min rest, 10 x 1' at T, 1' min at MP + 20-40s, 4 min rest, 5 x 1' at LT, 1' min at MP + 20-40 Fartlek (long variation): Option 1: After a warmup do, 6 miles of 400m at 10k pace, 1200m at MP Option 2: After a warmup do, 6 - 7 miles of 800m at T to HM pace, 800m at MP Option 3: After a warmup do, 6 - 8 Miles of 1 mile at T to HM pace, 1 mile at MP Threshold Intervals: Option 1: After a warmup, 4 x 1 mile at lactate threshold pace with 60 second continuous jog recoveries Option 2: After a warmup, 10 x 800 meters at lactate threshold pace with 60 seconds continuous jog recoveries Option 3: After a warmup, 3 x 2 miles at lactate threshold pace with 2-3 minute continuous jog recoveries Cutdown Session: 8 miles at Marathon Pace plus 40 - 50s, cutting down 10 seconds per mile Example: 2 mile warmup, Miles 2-10 (8:00, 7:50, 7:40, 7:30, 7:20, 7:10, 7:00, 6:50, 6:40, 6:30), 2 mile cool down HM Pace Specific Sessions: 6 x 1 mile at goal HM pace (60s jog recoveries) 4 x 2 Miles at goal HM pace (3 min jog recoveries) 6-8 miles at goal HM pace (continuous after warmup miles) Connect, Comment, Community Follow RunnersConnect on Instagram Join the Elite Treatment where you get first dibs on everything RTTT each month!

Have you ever heard runners talking to each other? They speak a strange language at times. All this talk of PR's, BQ's, Fartlek's, and the like. What does this all mean? Is any of it important? Let's take a crash course into runners language. Now you can wow your friends at your next group running by being all brushed up on your runnersese!

Yup. Just two brothers talking about fartlek. Life is busy. It's easy to let physical fitness fall by the wayside. Today we step aside from professional concerns and into this area of personal improvement. We share a bit about our own experiences with physical training–specifically running. Fartlek is a Swedish term. It refers to a kind of training that involves varying the pacing, intensity, and length of workouts. We've both experienced the benefits of this and other deliberate approaches to our fitness regimen. Listen in as we geek out about VO2, glycogen stores, and mud runs.

Você vai descobrir de vez o que é fartlek. Se discordar da nossa definição, sinta-se à vontade para se manifestar, mas saiba que você estará errado. E ainda tem como montamos nosso treino, lesões em véspera de prova e muito mais.
Do you remember when running used to be fun? When we weren't so serious about it. We didn't worry about our mile splits, our finish times, or what other people thought about our running. We just had fun running.Well, today that's what I want to talk about - bringing fun back into your runs and 7 reasons I think this specific type of run will help you do that!If you're someone who's: getting bored with your runninggetting too serious with your training and you're not really enjoying it like you used to.been running for a bit and you'd like to gently introduce some faster running into your training, but you really have no desire to hit the track and do those intense speed sessions.Then stick around, as I tell you about a type of run you just might like to try, and who knows, you might have a little fun doing it too!
After a brief recap of last week's track and field action, we bring you the second half of our conversation about fartlek training. This episode focuses on how and why we construct sessions at specific intensities beginning with marathon effort and getting faster.
We're taking a deep dive into the art of fartlek training in a 2-part series. We'll cover why it works, how to execute, and a cornucopia of example sessions. We begin with history, structure, how it translates from elite athletes to the running masses, and an examination of some of the most famous fartlek sessions. Enjoy!
Sarc Fighter: Living with Sarcoidosis and other rare diseases
Jack Boepple is a former Boston marathon runner. A dedicated Cyclist and a fisherman who disappears into the wilderness for a week every year with his canoe and camping supplies. But even all of that couldn't prevent sarcoidosis from attacking his heart. In Episode 60 of the Sarc Fighter podcast, Jack shares the story of how sarcoidosis knocked him back more than a few steps -- and how he never saw it coming -- even when he was in the hospital beating most of the tests.

Please excuse any spelling errors. Welcome back to the Sark Fighter podcast. And joining me now is Jack Boepple Lives in Chicago and he's a fellow SARC fighter. Jack, welcome to the podcast. Thank you. Glad you to have me. So you reached out to me after listening a little bit because, • • uh, you have cardiac sarcoidosis. How did you first find out that something was not right with your heart? • • • • • • Um, actually, it was the event itself. So three years ago, March, • • um, I'm sitting on a couch • • • and I could feel • • some palpitations going on. And I put my hand on my chest and it felt like my heart was just rolling. • • So I asked my wife, can you just check my pulse? So she did, that looks fine. Then she put her hand on my chest and she's like, we got to go to the emergency room now because it was just doing all these flip flops. She could tell. She could tell there was something wrong. And I'm like, uh, • • I've had palpitations before. I'm fine. I'm just going to play through • • • • um. • • And so I didn't do anything. That was a Friday. • • And I woke up the next morning and I was still off. • • So I took a baby aspirin I sent a note to my primary, uh, provider, realizing through the portal, realizing she would not see it or address it until Monday. • • And then that day, we went for a long walk. We had friends over, smoked a cigar, had some wine, sundae, went for another long walk, came home, got on the rowing machine, rode for 45 minutes, and by rowing, actually felt better. Um, but I got a phone call on • • • • Monday morning from, um, the primary nurse. And she said • • everything you just described to me, you need to be in the emergency room right now. And I said, I don't want to go to the emergency room. So she made an appointment for to see the primary. And I saw her in the afternoon and, • • • um, she took an EKG • • and she used this very technical term • to tell me what she saw. It looks funky. I'm like, what does funky mean? Uh, so she's like, I think you need to go. I want you in the Ed. I mean, right now. • • And • • • • her office was like a 20 minutes ride from • • • • the, um, hospital. And I'm like, • I want to send you an ambulance. But you're not going to go, are you? I'm like, no, • • • • • I drove to the Ed, • • they checked me in, they did another EKG, and when I got to the Ed, they fast line me. Usually you have to wait forever. I got right in. They did another EKG, they said something's funky. Then they brought in a cardiac specialist. He said the same thing. So they kept me for observation. • • • And the next day, they • • • • • • • did an EKG and they said, based upon those results, we either going to send you to stress, uh, test, or we're going to do an angio on you, uh, angiogram. And I'm like, come on, • • • • • bring on the stress test, because, • • • • um, • I work out quite a bit. • • • • • • • Um, • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • I'm losing the term, but all my blood numbers come back great. • I mean, there's nothing wrong with cholesterol. My cholesterol numbers are off the scale. Great. • • • • • • • • • • • I'm like, come on. There's nothing wrong. So then they • • • decided, um, they're working to do a stress test. They're going to do the angio. And I got someone asked me, are you ready to have stents put in your heart? Like, what are you talking about? • • And I'm like, sure, but you're not going to find anything. And so they, • • • • • um, • • • bring me in, I do the angio, and I come out of it, and they're like, yeah, you're right. There was no blockage. Nothing. I'm like, yeah, I told you that, right? But we still want to hold you. And now it's about 400 in the afternoon, and my wife's been there all day. And • • • • I say, go home. Go get some lunch, go take a shower, go feel better. • • And • • • • • in the room talking to a nurse, and next thing, there's four more nurses flying in the room, • and they're saying, we got to go to ICU. I'm like, what? We got to go to ICU now. Wait, you're feeling fine? They've done the angio. • • • • • • • • • I know, but the listeners don't know yet. • • • But you and I live, uh, in a parallel • • • • lifestyle, uh, with respect to the way we work out. You were biking 120 miles a week. You've done a half iron man. You are on, uh, your rower all the time. So you're not just, like, a kind of standard walking around fit guy. Fitness is your lifestyle. • • • Absolutely. • • • • • • • • Not only is it done for physically, but you probably can relate to this, that it's a mental release. And so when you're doing you're on your bike or you're working out, all of sudden a you're solving all the problems you're trying to work through. Yeah. So the nurses come rushing into the room, you're sitting up saying, okay, something's funky, but I'm killing it on all these tests. And they keep accelerating the level of care, • • • • • right? All these nurses are running around me, and I have one nurse just staring at me, and I'm staring at her, and she goes, hello. And I say, hello back. And she jumps backwards. • • So apparently I found out later that • • • • I think my heart rate is, like, • • • • 100 and $8200 something very high. • And apparently, when it's that high, um, you're coding. And so they're not used to anybody • • being conscious when this happens. And so • • • • they're willing me down to ICU. I'm fully conscious of what's going on. They get me in there, they hook me up, and, • • • • • • • um, • • • they're pumping me full of all these • • • drugs, um, to try to get the heart rate down, Amyotarone. They just give me an IV of it. They're just trying to do this. • • • And after about 8 hours of my heart at this elevated rate, they come in and say, • • we're going to have, uh, to shock you. I'm like, really? And • • • • • • • • • • • I'm like, in the morning now, • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • like, wow, this is real. All of a sudden, this is real. • • My wife is with me, and I'm like, I want her with me. But I'm like, that's selfish. I don't want her to see me be shocked. So I asked her, do you want to be here for this? And she's like, no. • So she leaves the room, and they give me, • • • um, a Twilight drug and said, you won't remember anything. • • Uh huh. So they hit me. I remembered, no way, • • • really. And this is to get your heart rhythm back into a normal range, right? It's a • • • reset. So they were trying to reset my heart. And it • • did. • • • • • • And, • um, they said most people, just after it happened, the nurse said, you did so well. I'm like, what does that • • • • mean? They said, you didn't swear. I'm • • • • • • • • • • • • • like, I got through that. • • • • • And, • • um, they described it like being hit by a truck. And I said, I don't know what that means, but I played football, and I feel like I just got hit by a professional linebacker, and I didn't have any pads on. I mean, it just wax the hell out of • • • • • • you. • • Uh, so the rest of the night and when you're nice to • you, you're watching your • • • monitors. • • • • • • • • • • And I said a prayer that • • • night, and I said I would never, ever talk about it to • • • anybody. • • And a few days later, we had someone visiting us, a good friend of ours, and she was on a spiritual journey long before I was. And she asked the one question where I had to tell what • happened. And she asked, how does this change your relationship with God? And I looked at her, and I'm like. I said, it didn't. I said, when I'm sitting there and I'm watching those monitors and I'm watching my heart, trying to get back to where it was, this abnormal • • • state. I said a prayer of thanks. I said, thank you for the great life I • • • had. Please watch my offer. My wife. Please watch over my • girls. I'm not the type of person to sit there and beg and plead. So I said a prayer of • • thanks, • • • mhm, because I've been thankful for all the great opportunities I've had. Sure. • • • So the thing I said I would never talk about. I talked about. • • • • • • And it's been a real journey since then. • So then the doctors are trying to figure out what caused all this. So they went down the Lyme disease • • route. • • • • They did, um, all these different things. I did a cardiac MRI. I don't know if you ever had to do one of those. That's not one of those MRIs where you can just put in the tube. I fall asleep in those things. Mri I do, too. That doesn't bother • • me. Yeah, so they put me in, but you got to hold your • • • • • breath throughout, um, the test so your chest isn't moving up and • • down. And so they can isolate what's going on the • • chest. And after that cardiac MRI, they sort, uh, of had an idea that maybe it was sarcodosis. So that was their working theory at that • • time. And they would not let me leave the hospital until I had an • • • • ICD and, um, pacemaker installed on my • chest. So from the time I entered the hospital, the time I left, it was eight • • days. Went through all these • • • tests. It wasn't • • • • • • • • • until several, um, weeks later that I actually did a Pet scan. And that was basically their • • confirmation • • • that it looks like sarcastosis. As you probably know, they never can say it is sarcodosis unless they do a • • biopsy and they can actually confirm it. Well, Pet is noninvasive, • • • so, • • • uh, they figured out it looks. • • • • • • • • • • • Like where in your heart, Jack, is it on a valve. • • • • • • • • • • • • Or the way it was described to me, it's both on the • • • inside and the external of the heart. And that's the tricky part is the external part of the • • heart. The internal part of the • • • • • • heart. • Um, you can eventually address through ablazion. But if it's also on the external part of the heart, the external ablaze procedure is much different. They have to go underneath your ribcage and • • • up and then break the sac around the heart, then try to do the blazing that way, which is a much more tricky operation. Yeah, but I went from being on no medications whatsoever to being on. I can't tell you how many • • • • • • pills. One of the reasons I reached out to you is a lot of the folks talk about how the sarcmens just beat them up. And I've been fortunate. • The methotrexate I'm • • • • on and, um, the pregnantone I'm • • on, they really didn't, um, beat me up too bad. But the cardiac meds just wailed on me. Amy odorone. One of the side effects of amioterone • • • • • • • is, • • um, sun. But if you get in the • • • • • • sun, you just start burning up rather quickly. Like I could literally, on a sunny day, walk across a sunny parking lot when my wife would pick me up from the train station and I'd be beat • red. So it turned me into a • • • • • vampire. And you're an outdoors guy, right? • • So, nine, 09:00 the morning to four, 04:00 the afternoon. I just stayed in the • • shadows, and it • • just killed me. Just. • • Absolutely. I wanted to be. • • • • • • • • • Outside. Are you retired • • • or what is your job? Were you not working? What was going on then? So I'm still working. Uh, • I work for, um, Blue Cross. Blue Shield of • • Illinois. I don't know if you've ever, um, heard of Lean or Six Sigma, but that's sort of my gig. Basically it's process improvement type of work. I go in and look at • • • • • • things. • • • • Um, yes, but in the summer months, I like to be outside. I love the • • • • • • • • fish and do all that stuff. So that was really a Downer trying to get addressed to those drugs. And there's other drugs that they keep on wanting to slow your heart down. So lisinopril is one of • • them. It just slows everything down. And I was being lethargic, and I'm like, this is not how I want to • • • • • • be. And so that sort of started the journey towards getting off. How do I get off? Uh, these cardiac meds. So they transitioned me about a year later to this drug called Soda • • • • • Law, which doesn't have any side effects. Amy, odorone, but it has different side effects, which is more • • lethargy. And I'm • like, I can't do • • • • • • • • • this. I started, um, exploring • • • Ablation and • • • • • my, • • • • • um, um, electrical cardiologist. He's done a bunch of Ablations, but the fact that it might have to be both internal and • external, he said, I want to give you • • to refer you to one of the experts in the field to do this, because if it's external, I don't have experience doing that. Tell us all what Ablazion actually • • • • is. So my understanding, I'm going to get this wrong, and you get people. Okay. I won't correct you, that's for sure. So it's basically the same approach as an angio. They come in • • • through the leg, • • and when they find a • • • • • • • • • • • spot, • • um, they believe is • • Sark, they try to poke it and figure out, is this causing the heart to go crazy or not? Yeah. And if it • does, then • • • • • they do, um, some type of cauterization or some type of way • • • to remove that tissue. The granuloma. Yes. Right. Okay. • • • • • • So I, um, talked to two different experts. • • • • One guy said, you just might have to live this way the rest of your life. And I talked to another guy like, you're too young to be living like • this. This is what we can do for you. And it • • • was considered a high risk procedure. But I'm like, I can't continue to live like • • • • this is like. You can't pass a couch without taking a nap. Right. With talking about the lethargy and all • • • that. It wasn't that, um, bad. • But for me not to be able to work • • • • • out, that was my • • • • release. I needed to be able to work out, • • • • and it • • just beat me to the point I couldn't do anything. Got it. So eventually actually did this • ablasian. And before you do the Ablasion, they stopped you on all cardiac meds because they want the SARC to be • • • active. So what does that mean? When the sarcas is active in the heart, that means you can go into V TAC. And • • so two • • days before the procedure, I'm off all cardiac meds. I'm sitting at my desk upstairs, my wife's downstairs, and my device • • • fires. And so I • scream and she comes running up and she finds me basically in a fetal • • • • • • • position, um, • • • because I wanted to be tack. And so the device did what it was supposed to do. They've called an insurance policy, and • • • it reset the heart. And • • • • • • so the guy doing the um, Ablaze like, yeah, we want your heart to be active so we can find it. And after he did the procedure, he came in and visited with me, and he • • • • • • said he was all amped up, all excited. He's like, we found five spots, and we got him. • • • • And he's like, no more um restrictions, no more cardiac men. You can start going back and doing your normal • • activities. • • And they were in there for five, 5 hours. And they said, we still see stuff on the external part of the heart. But you know what? We had you under for five, 5 hours, see what this • • • does. And here I am, a year later, I haven't had • • • • events, and I'm off cardiac meds, which is good. I'm working out again, but I always have to watch my heart rate because you don't want this little device to fire. And so you still have • • • • • the um, pacemaker. Is that essentially what it is? Pacemaker and ICD ICD, which is basically shocks your • • • • heart. So if that thing fires, that means you're • • • • • • having laypersons from heart • • • attack. Correct. And the technology in the ICD is nothing but amazing. They can set the levels as to when it goes into pacing • • • • • mode, when it, um, will fire a warning to your heart to say, Knock it off and then to the full • • • • • • • • • • • • • reset. It's just rather amazing. The other thing about the • Ablazion • is the device was pasted me, like, seventy, 70% of • • the. So instead of my heart working on its own device had to keep on helping it. And I'm like, that doesn't sound right to • • • me. And so after the um, Ablasian, I'm being paced less than one 1% of the which is just • • • • huge. My heart's • • • working by itself now, which is what I • wanted. You're still taking a very small amount of prednisone, right? Yeah. • • So when I did all this started, they had me at twenty, 20, and then they stepped it down. I'm at two, 2.5 • • now. • • • • • And • • the Maxwellsight, I'm on • • fifteen, 15 once a • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • week. I know that's • • • • low, • • • • but it's still a drug. Also, they throw in • • • the Alanronite and • • • • • the • • • um, looking for the other drug. I'm on folic acid. So the allndronate to try to help • • • alleviate bone loss. Um, I think the folic acid does something else to counter one of the side effects of the • • methotrexide. Okay. By Sark Dock, actually. Who's one of the docs has been on your • • podcast, Dr. • • • • • • Sparn. He's, uh, my Doc. • • • • • Wow. Listening to your podcast has started connecting a bunch of dots for • • me. I think one of the podcasts you talked about, what's the most important factor in dealing with Sarcodosis? I'm listening to this, and I'm trying to • guess, and I like health. And I was wrong. It was zip code. And I'm like, okay, I'm very fortunate to be where I • • am. One of the leading guys in Sark research is • • here. He's my Doc. So I got very lucky. • • • And my cardiologist, um, at Northwestern, have been nothing but outstanding. • • • • And the guy to do the Ablation, um, was out of the University of Chicago, who was considered a leading expert in doing Ablasians. • • • And I feel very fortunate. • • • • • • So I guess when I wrote you just like three years. • • • • • • Wow. I know a lot of this discussion on this is • • about the people that hits the most is the pulmonary people. • • • • • But there's a small population of cardiac people out here, too, • • that there's additional level of complexity that goes into it. And even rarer is those of us who are neurosark people. • • • • • • • • So, • • • um, it is a lot. So, uh, let's back up a little bit. Thank you for sharing the story of your • • incident, but you mentioned your wife and your daughters, and you are my age, so I'm assuming that your daughters are grown or nearly grown. So tell us about your family • • • • life. Yeah. So my wife and I, next year, will be married. Forty, 40. We were high school • • sweethearts. I was a football player. She was a • • cheerleader. Cute. You got me by a couple of years on the marriage. I think we were on thirty 38th year, but, yeah, go ahead. All right. • • • • • • • • And with, um, the Air Force Academy. So, uh, I was in the Air Force, and both daughters were born • • while we were in the Air Force. Uh, so the oldest, Christine, • is, • uh, thirty 35. The Madeline is thirty 31 • • • and is an occupational therapist. • • Uh, and she loves what she does. And she • • welcomed a son into the, uh, world a year ago. So it's our first grandchild. And my daughter Madeline is in marketing, um, living downtown Chicago, having a blast. • • • • • • • • • • So it's been a lot of fun with the girls raising them. They're, uh, both University of Iowa grads, and they had a lot of fun • there and learned a lot, and they made a lot of friends. In • • • fact, my wife's, um, husband is also she met him at the University of • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Iowa. Again, both of, um, them are very close to us. • • So we're staying here for a while. Yeah. Your daughter's husband, I • • • believe. Yeah. • • Right. Well, that's, um, • • • • • • • • • • • cool. So you've led an active life. You were a football • • • • • • • • • player. I've got to talk a little bit about the bicycling and so • • • • forth. So you, uh, were riding one 120 miles • • • a prior to this. And I consider myself pretty avid cyclists. But for me, one 100 miles a week is a week that I put a star next to in my logs. Like, this was a really good week. And you were doing that • • regularly. Yeah. That was several years ago when I was really, just really into • • • • • it. And, • • • um, my baseline is jogging. So that's where I started. And I've • done four • • • • marathons, including the Boston Marathon, which was joy to Drew. Congrats. Thank you. • • • • • • And three of the four marathons, um, I did under four, 4 hours was my goal. And • • • • so I was training for this, um, one • marathon. And I usually never signed up in advance • • because if the weather was bad in Chicago, I didn't want to be running in nasty weather. And so I went to sign up the day before, and they were like, • • • no, it's, um, all full. I'm like, But I trained for a marathon. I'm ready to go. So someone then told me about triathlons. And I swam in high school, too. So I'm like, okay, I can do the swimming part. So I got on a bike and it was one of these old swim • bikes. And I realized, all right, I got to do something better than this. And so I started upgrading the • • bikes. • • And my very first Triathlon, um, I did was a half Iron Man because I trained • • • for a marathon. I'm like, uh, I can do this stuff. And I'm like, after I did it, I'm like, oh, I can do a full Iron Man. And my wife's • • like, not happening. • • Uh, so a full Iron Man for people that don't know is you start out with • • • • a two, 2.4 miles, I • • • • • think. And then you ride your bike. One 112 miles, you run a marathon, correct. All back to back to back, correct? Yeah. So I did a half version of. • • • • • • • • • • That. So we • • • host an Ironman event here, uh, in Roanoke, Virginia, where I live, and it's a half. And I just did the bike part last • • • year. Not as part of the event, uh, but just to do it. And of course, here we live in the mountains, • • • • • so it's a very • • difficult. Fifty 50 it is. • • • Fifty, 56 miles. • • Uh, • • right. I can't imagine doing, um, all those other things on either side of it yet. Lots of. Lots of people do. Or to double it. That's. • • • • • • • • • Crazy. But it's something I really enjoyed. I just enjoyed the feeling of being outside and in • • • • • shape again. That's part, uh, of the journey. I'm trying to what's my • • new exercise normal. So last • • • • • • • • summer I was only, um, able to get forty, 40 miles a on the • • • • • • • • • • • bike. I think I even wrote this to you. I'm pedaling, I'm pedaling. I'm like, I know I'm going fast. And I look down the speedometer and I'm like, no, you're • • • • • • • • • • • not. That's part of getting older, too. I understand that. • • • • But just the energy doesn't seem to be close to what I've expected on the trajectory of getting • • • • • older. Now, the ablation that you had done, uh, when was that? That was March of last year. So you're still basically recovering from that, would you • • • • • • • • • • • • say? • • • • • • Um, • • • • • again, I don't think so. • • • • • Because it's a year out and I had no cardiac events. So should I start having cardiac events • • • • again then? Maybe I need to go back and get another • • one. And I've heard there's been people that have to go back and get repeated ablations, but I think if I go back again, they're going to play with the external part of the heart because there's still the scarring there on • that. • • • • • • • But otherwise, I, um, feel pretty good. So you're walking around feeling good, • • but your fitness level hasn't returned to the fitness level that you had pre ablaze and • precise. No, not even close, right? It might not. • • Right. I will never run seven and a half miles every other day ever again. It just won't happen. Right. So I now do • • intervals. I was told that's mhm even better for me. So I get my heart rate to a certain, um, • • point, and then I walk until it gets to a certain point. And I keep on bouncing up, back and forth. Right? Because • • • • • • • • • again, I don't want this device to. • • • • • • • • • • Fire. Um, it seems to me like you're living right on the edge. So you're doing intervals, which is where you run really hard and you watch your heart rate get jacked up. And then when it gets to a certain point, you walk until it comes back down. And then you do it • again. And, uh, then you walk until it comes back down. Then you do it again. And I've done this on the bike, and I've done it running as • • • • well. And the word, um, when you're running is, • • • • uh, Norwegian word • • • • • fartlek, which is not what it is. I think it's F-A-R-T-L-E-K. • Fartlek. It's named after the guy that developed. So, um, you're doing that. So you're really pushing the boundaries, right? Yeah, I'm trying to get back to feeling fit. So I guess to answer your early • • • question, I'm better than where I was before the Ablaze, but I'm not preparedak event. Uh, so not even • • • close. So how have you reimagined your life now since you've had to go through. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Sarcodosis? • • • • • • • Um, I think I take things more in stride now. • • • • • • Maybe it's just, um, everything I just look at, • • like, thankful for every moment I have now. Because, again, I thought this could have been it. I can't tell you how many times my wife and I have been told that if I had not been in • • • shape, no way. There's just no way I would have made it. So the fact • • • • • • • • • that I just, um, did a stress test, and the nurse looked at my record and she's like, I've never seen anyone be in V tag that long and come out of it. • Okay. • • • • • • So I feel very blessed. Um, so I try to look at that. I do a lot of volunteer • • • • work. I refocused my energies, um, and doing volunteer work again with the skill set I have, it's very specialized. • • • So I work with a group called Catch a Fire, which • • is basically a clearing house for, um, nonprofits to find volunteers. So over the last three years, I've done about over ninety 90 with • them, ranging • • • • • • • from, um, helping do Mission Vision value statements to Excel training, • • to doing data analysis to doing all these different • • things. And I've met all these different non profits across the United States. I've actually worked with some guy in Australia, worked with a couple of folks in • • • • • • Africa. It • • really seemed to be focusing more on • • that, hoping to get to retirement, um, at some point. Right. Because I think that • • • • will keep my mind • • active. Right. And when you go outside and so you ride your bicycle • • • • • • now on the trails and paths, um, around Chicago, trying to stay off the road so you don't have to fight with the cars. Right. So they converted old rail lines around here a long time ago. So there's a whole network. The one near me is called the Prairie Path. • And it's limestone paved • • • • • • and it's just a much safer • • ride. Back in my heyday, when I was really, um, going at it, I would ride on the streets, but I usually drive a half hour west of where I am to get more towards the countryside where there is less • • • • traffic. All it takes is one guy not paying attention • • and you're in a world of hurt. Yeah, no, it's • • true. I'm riding more and more offroad myself, but I still do get out on the roads. We're very fortunate • • • that you can be rural very quickly when you're outside Roanoke, Virginia, as opposed to Chicago. • • • • Right. We're a small • • • • city. Virginia's Blue Ridge is how, um, we're now marketing this. • • • • • • • • Region. And you've got a grandchild. • • • • • • • • • • Um, four years ago I had none. Now I have six. Holy cow. So, grandchildren changed the way I, uh, look at • • • • life, that's for • • sure. And, um, I'm sure that that's the same for • • • you. • • • • • Absolutely. He just turned one. And so, • • • • • • • • • • • • um, we've actually, uh, made going over the last three weekends. We're looking around, it's snowing outside. Let's see if our daughter wants to visit her. So we go over • • • • there, we eat lunch, and then we play for a couple hours until he's ready for a nap. So that's just really refocus what's going on. • • • • And he's at an age • • • where he's very active, like my oldest daughter was. And • • so it's like playing with my daughter again. He wants to fly around the room. And so it's just a lot of fun doing that. • • So it's the point. Now he recognizes me and as soon as he sees me again, he wants to start flying around the room. So it's a lot of fun. But I will tell you, making that little kid fly around the room, I'm gassed after it's over. Right. • • • So I think again, that's part • of dealing with how my body reacts to stuff. Now, before I could do anything, • • • • and I'd be • • • • • • fine. • • • • • Yeah, it's frustrating. You, uh, can't do what you once did. So they call sarcaidosis the Snowflake disease because it impacts each of us • • • • differently. I've also run the Boston Marathon. Um, Congratulations. Thank • • • • you. I just always thought of myself as, uh, the guy that would always be fit and would always be healthier • • • • • than a certain large percentage of the people walking around beside me. • • • And I guess now I think I was arrogant to think that because sarcodosis just knocks you back a step. Two steps, three steps. • And it's hard to realize that • • • • • while playing with my grandchild tires me • • • • out. Yeah, • • • • • • • • • • absolutely. Again, your form of, um, it is • • • much. I think each form is so unique, and I was so lucky to have my aspect of it addressed through the Ablasian. So it's sort of like. But every time I go out, I am looking at that watch going, Is my heart gonna play nice today or not? So it's always in the back of your mind, is what's going to • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • happen? To answer, I think, your earlier • • • • • question, it's always there in being thought of. So your doctor, Dr. • • Spoon, said that your sarcoidosis is not active, but he described it as simmering. Can you tell us what that is? Because I hadn't heard that before, but I think there are times when that's been my • • case. Right. So the last Pet scan I • • • • • • • had, he said, um, great • • • • • • news. There's no stark activity, uh, in the • • heart. There's no stark activity in the • • lungs. But as I look at your lymph nodes, they're • • glowing. And he said, it's not • • active. So let's just call simmering. It's • • there. • And let's not mess with your current medication • • regime, because ideally, they would love to taper you off. But I've had more than a few doctors tell me that if • • • you let the Sark flare again as you taper your meds, it comes back with a vengeance. And I really don't want vengeance, because vengeance, in my case, means I get more scarring on my • • heart. And then I got to rinse and repeat the medications, the ablaze again. So if I have to live with the • • medication regime I live on right • • now, so be it. And I think I've heard a couple of people on your • • • • podcast. I've just got to learn to live with what's being done. But in my choice with the cardiac Mans, I had another alternative, which was the ablasian. • Right. But you don't want to have to do another ablaze, • • • • • because even if that works, your heart will never • • be what it once. • • • • • • • • • Was. Every time they do that, it hurts your heart a little bit more. Right. And every flare you get hurt your heart a little bit more • • • permanently. • • And the phrase heart transplant has been used in front of me before, and that • • • • just scares me. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • And again, I don't want to ever get there, • • • • but it's out • • • • • • • there so whenever they do an Echo cardiogram, they're looking to ejection fraction. And I'm like, • • • • • • borderline. Okay. And they're like, if it drops to a certain point, then, • • uh, the next consideration • • • • • is heart transplant. I'm like, let's not go there • • • • • • yet. Let's see what we can do without before we get there. • • • Right. So you get up in the morning • • • • • • and do you work from • • • • home? What do you do? Do you go to work? I'm in a hybrid schedule. So two days at home, three • • • • • • • • • days at work. • Um, and, • um, three days are downtown Chicago. Uh, so if you ever been to • • • • Chicago, the Blue Cross building is right across from Millennium Park. If you ever went and saw the • • bean. I can see that from my office. Wow. • • • • • • • • • • • And the Metro, which is the, um, commuter training. You take that in • • • • there. We actually have a bus that runs from this train station, um, to the building. But I walk. I walk every time. So it's about twenty, 25 minutes. And again, I like being • outside. Yeah, I love the bean. The bean is so • • • • • • • cool. It's a sculpture that's shaped like a bean, and it's about the size of a small house. Is that fair? Yeah, that's fair. And it's just you see a mirror reflection no matter where you walk around it or under it or • • • • • • whatever. I love the bean. That's so cool. Um, and so you're, uh, walking twenty, • • • • • • 25, um, three days a week, and you're feeling fine, right? Yeah, they're back. So I'm walking fifty, 50 • • • • • • minutes. It's feeling okay. • • Um, • • • • • • • • • • • • • • awesome. You mentioned your relationship with God before we were talking, and other people have brought that up. Have you become more or less religious, or do you look at things in a more philosophical way? • • • • • • • • Now I'm going to go • • • towards no. But I also will say I continued, I'm continuing my spiritual journey. I'm continuing to try to • • • • • • • • • • • understand my faith, • • • um, about that. So right now I'm reading something • • that's • • where there was a group • • • • • • • • of priests, um, that actually did a critical evaluation of, • um, the four Gospels, trying, uh, to say, is this something that Jesus really would have said? And it's • • • • • really in depth. So I keep on exploring things. They might not be popular topics to talk about, but I'm just trying to • • • explore my • • • • • • • • • • faith. If you think about the volunteer work, I • • • • • • do think Christianity, a lot of it is about giving • • • • • • • • • • back. So, yes, I've been doing more and more and more of • • • • • • that. • • • • • But, • • • um, it's something I continue to explore, and it's just to • • me, it's fascinating. I think the underlying • • message • • • of Jesus, • • • • again, • • • • uh, love your • • neighbors • • • • • and love God above all. I think that's a great message, and it's hard to practice it sometimes loving your neighbors, but it's great to aspire to that. • • • • So I'm really interested in understanding about • • • that. Got you, Jack. Is there anything else you want to add at this. • • • • • • • • • • • Point. • • So this is an um aside. • • • • • • • • So after I had this cardiac • • • • • • • • • event every year since, two, um, thousand and one, I've gone on a canoe • • • trip. I don't know if you heard of • • • • • • • • • • • • Quetico. Yes, I've been there three times. Okay. • So for the • • • • • listeners, if you've heard of Boundary Waters in • • Minnesota, it's a place where there's no motor boats. It's canoes only quadico is the Canadian version of that. It has bigger in • • size and it may allow fewer people • • in. So I've been doing quadico trips, eight day, seven night trips since two 2001. And when nine • • • 911, we were in the • • • • • • • field. Nine 911, I what happened • • • on • • Tuesday? And, • • uh, uh, we were in the field. We had no • • idea. And when we came out of the field, we were • • • • • • • • • • told they like playing jokes. And you come back like, there's something like the camp ran out of hot water and the guy that picks us up • • • • says they • • • bombed the towers in the Twin Cities. • • • Um, I'm like, who's going to bomb Minneapolis St. Paul, right? Yeah. And so we thought it was a joke. We didn't believe it. And it took a phone call • • • home and for my seven year old daughter at that time to say, yes, they bombed New York to make it • • • • • real. • • Anyway, I go up to quitaco every year. And after this cardiac event, I said, I'm going. And my wife is like, you're not. I'm going. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • And two months before a • • trip, I got a blood clot. So with • • • • • this device, the ICD pacemaker, um, they run wires, uh, through your veins, down to your • • • heart. And typically, if a blood clot shows, it shows up • • • early. But mine showed up late. So now I'm on blood • • thinners. And if you know about the credit • • • • • • • code, there is no seven 711, no emergency care. You're all by yourself. There's no communication. Correct. Unless you have a • • • cell phone, right? Yeah. When we went, there were no cell phones, no walkie talkies, • • nothing. And • • so I'm going. Even with this heart condition • • • • • • • • • • and my reaction to Amy odorone • • • • • and the blood thinners, I'm going, which • • is • • • fairly not smartly, dangerous. A month before I went, I'm owing the grass • • • • • and come in and take a shower. And I'm washing myself. I'm, um, like, what's • • • this? I had a • • • • • hernia. • • And so I'm like, come • • • • on. So I bought one of those • • • • girdles that pushed it in. So I, um, went to Quidico that year with. You • • did? Yes. With all that going on. And my wife was not pleased, but I'm like, I got to go. This is sort of, um, like my annual • • • release. So I thought you would appreciate that • • story. It goes back to what I need to, um, be. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Outside. One of my bucket list things is to get back • • • • • • there. It's been over twenty 20 since I went, but I went three years in a row with a local group of guys and the fishing is the best fishing I've ever had in my • • life. But it's rigorous because we would paddle, I think, about one 110 miles where they dropped us off. Then we would sort of paddle back to a pickup • • • point in the canoe. And then you Portage between the Lakes. So you're carrying your canoe, you're carrying your backpack, you're looking out for • • • • bears, and you just basically fished your way to the, um, next campsite. Is that how you guys did it? Absolutely. • • And there's • • something people like. It's just canoeing. Well, the portagne is what kills people. So I brought a couple of newbies this year, • • • and the portages just kick their butt. Yeah, well, they can be a mile • • • • long. Some of them are very short. You hop for there's four, 400 within the Quittico Wilderness. Right. And only, as I recall, only two, 200 of even have names, and the rest of them are just regarded as large puddles. They're not worthy. But you go • • • • from body of water to body of water to body of • • • • • • water, and you follow your map and, • • um, hope you don't get lost. I had some scary moments, but I can't believe you're able to do that with • • • Sarcardosis. Yeah. So I'm still doing it • • • • • • • • • and made it through that trip. Uh, okay. But, • • um, that's what I want to • • • • • • do. And you've talked about it, I think, on your podcast several times • • about you got to get back • to what feels right. Your body might not be one 100% the way you want it, but you got to get back to what you want to • • do • is make the effort. So I just keep on making the • • • • • effort. Do you carry the canoe yourself when it's your, um, turn on the. • • • • • • • Portage? This year I did, yes. This year I, um, canoe because I had a solo canoe, and I did • • • a solo paddle because I was with two other guys, two new guys, and I couldn't find a four fourth. I • • • • sold. Okay. Call me. What month do you go? • • • Typically, I typically go after Labor Day just because the mosquitoes are down. Okay. And that's a good time to go. And again, if you're going back there at some point and you want a suggested • • • route, I've been through all the entry points in quadico, and I've hit most of the major paths, so I definitely have suggestions or, uh, tell you where it would be fun to go. Okay. Yeah, we'll have to talk. We'll start boring people really fast if we get into a deep dive into this remote Canadian • • • • • wilderness. • • • • • But, yeah, I can't believe that I'm, um, talking to somebody else who's actually been there, because when I bring it up, • • everybody, they have no idea what I'm talking about. Sometimes boundary waters mean something to people. Right. But critico, you fly in on a float plane, they drop you, uh, off, and • • then it's fantastic. I love it. Well, Jack, thank you so much good luck at the critico this year. If you're planning, uh, to go in September again. • • Absolutely. Okay. All • right. And I wish you all the luck in the world with fighting sarcodosis. • • • And thanks, uh, for fighting the good • • fight. Alright. Uh, thanks and I appreciate you let me tell my. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
