Podcasts about Jonny Brownlee

Today on the podcast we are joined by Alistair Brownlee, Double Olympic Triathlon Champion - to talk about his incredible career and the extreme mental discipline that got him to the very top of athletics. It's his first in depth interview since he announced his retirement.Alistair Brownlee is the only athlete in history to hold two Olympic titles in the individual triathlon event, having won gold medals in both the 2012 and the 2016 Olympic Games. He is also a four-time World Champion in triathlon.Famously, his younger brother Jonny Brownlee is also a decorated triathlete. The Brownlee brothers were considered the dominant male Olympic distance triathletes of the 2010s - often competing together. In 2016, Alistair famously spotted his brother suffering from exhaustion and pushed him across the line in the final stretch of the race that he had been leading. Alistair Brownlee is widely regarded as one of the greatest male athletes ever to have lived. Today Alistair is building a new chapter to his career focused on a range of new ventures, building on his on decades of experience working in sports. We are also very lucky to count Alistair as an investor in Giant's funds.In this conversation, we talk about why relying on willpower is a recipe for failure, what you can learn from elite athletes, nature vs nurture for excellence, and the characteristics that define Olympic champions and top founders.

Amazing crash avoidance and bike handling   Endurance News:   Oceanside start list is out: full of big names, but no Jan Frodeno March 20, 2022 Oceanside is well-known as the place to watch the top pros show off their early-season fitness, and this year is no exception. Even with last-minute drops from the likes of Jan Frodeno, Lionel Sanders and Jackie Hering, there's still an impressive start list for both the women's and men's pro races, featuring some of the top names in long-course racing (plus a few surprises from the short-course side of the sport). We've broken down the top contenders, plus a few wild cards who could be major players on Saturday.   Want to watch it all play out? Ironman 70.3 Oceanside will be streamed live for free on Outside Watch, beginning at 6 a.m. PT/9 a.m. ET Saturday, April 1. The broadcast will be available on-demand after the finish to all Outside+ members. Become an Outside+ member today and get access to the full streaming library of 70.3 racing any time, on any device.   Both the men's and women's races in Oceanside promise to be incredibly competitive. In addition to Sanders, the men's list includes defending men's champion Ben Kanute, his countryman Sam Long, who is fresh off a couple of victories at Clash Miami and Challenge Puerto Varas (which could mean he'll take a pass on Oceanside), two-time Olympic gold medalist Alistair Brownlee (GBR), Australian Sam Appleton, along with Americans Rudolph Von Berg and Matt Hanson (USA). (To name just a few – there are a number of Ironman and 70.3 champions in the field.)   full pro list here   The women's field is every bit as stacked. Defending champion Paula Findlay (CAN) is back, but she'll face a really tough field that includes five-time 70.3 world champion (and four-time Kona champ) Daniela Ryf, 2016 70.3 world champ Holly Lawrence (GBR), Australia's Ashleigh Gentle, who is fresh off a big win at Clash Miami and American Taylor Knibb, who excelled at both World Triathlon and long-distance races last year – her incredible season included a silver medal in the mixed relay, the fastest time of the day at the Collins Cup and a bronze medal at the 70.3 worlds. Chelsea Sodaro is the defending IM World Champ who has been struggling with depression is also planning to race.   As we get closer to the race, which takes place on April 2, we should have a clearer idea of who will actually end up at the race – even if a few athletes pull out, though, it should be an incredibly competitive day.   https://www.tri247.com/triathlon-news/elite/ironman-70-3-oceanside-start-list-bib-numbers-pro-men   Jonny Brownlee and Gustav Iden confirmed for Arena Games London By Jonathan Turner 22 Mar 2023 Four star names have been added to the line-up for the Arena Games finale in London on April 8.   Three-time Olympic medallist Jonny Brownlee, IRONMAN World Champion Gustav Iden, the 2022 Arena Games Triathlon champion Beth Potter and last year's London winner Cassandre Beaugrand have all been confirmed as intended starters.   They can't compete for the overall World Championship title as they haven't raced in either of the first two events in Montreal and Switzerland, but they are sure to add intrigue to the finals which will feature 18 of the top 20 ranked women and men in the series.   Brownlee will be back in Arena Games action Norwegian star Iden won the IMWC title at his first attempt in record-breaking style in Kona last year to add to his two Ironman 70.3 World Championships and is also aiming for the Paris Olympics as he switches his focus back to short-course racing.   On the women's side last year's overall winner Potter could head into London in better form following the Scot's maiden WTCS victory in Abu Dhabi.   And she'll be joined France's Beaugrand, who had a perfect record in England last season – winning both Arena Games and Super League in London as well as the WTCS event in Leeds.   The favourites to become the official triathlon esports World Champions are the respective winners from Montreal and Sursee – Chase McQueen and Henri Schoeman in the men's field and Gina Sereno and Zsanett Bragmayer in the women's.   There is also plenty of British interest aside from Brownlee and Potter for home fans with Olivia Mathias – second in Sursee – Kate Waugh, Dan Dixon and Jack Stanton-Stock all racing.   Mental Mastery with Mark Allen Week 5: A Brain-Boosting Workout for a Stronger Bike Leg This week's Mental Mastery workout from six-time Ironman World Champion Mark Allen will improve your mind's ability to tell your legs how to get those bigger watts and how to sustain them. MARCH 27, 2023 MARK ALLEN    Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! Download the app.   Of all three sports, cycling is the one that usually evokes an image of strength equating to faster performances. Think of your glutes and quads: If those are toned and able to push, you are going to be a faster cyclist. But if you've also got a strong brain, you can take those strong legs to the next level.   This week's Mental Mastery workout is all about improving muscle recruitment. Some athletes try to accomplish this by doing extended periods in a big gear and low cadence rates. But that mostly just teaches you how to ride in a big gear at a low cadence rate without increasing your ability to push and sustain higher watts. Instead, I've shared a workout to improve both of those things for you. The secret? Staying focused. The Mental Mastery components of this workout will improve your mind's ability to tell your legs how to get those bigger watts and how to sustain them!   I often did this type of workout (but in a much less structured way) during group rides. There would be constant points where I had to suddenly accelerate or get dropped, and often the accelerations were accompanied with a jump up in gearing to be able to go fast enough. These accelerations were so much faster than I would ever go in a triathlon, which reset the gauge of how fast I was able to ride making race pace much more tolerable mentally as well as doable physically.   For one year early in my career, I committed to doing single-leg drills twice a week for almost every single week. That was also the season where I made the largest gains ever in my cycling. At the Ironman that year (1984) I came off the bike with a 12-minute lead on all other contenders. Unfortunately, I didn't have the marathon yet to back up the cycling, but the message was clear: This drill works.   Week 5: Key Strength Bike Workout and Mental Mastery Drills The workout this week has two parts, just like last week's session in swimming. The first is going to be done on a stationary trainer, and the second can be done on a trainer or on the road. Along with each of these two short workouts will be your Mental Mastery drills that will help you not only gain mastery over the physical workout, but will strengthen your ability to integrate mind and body into one cohesive unit.     What's New in the 303: South Table Mountain, Unending Trails, Unending mystery By Bill Plock   Golden, March 2023–The small one-engine plane droned loudly overhead under filtered sun. It would rise and almost stall. Then it quietly glided, nose slightly down, for a few seconds before the engine sputtered alive as it leveled off. I supposed that is some sort of emergency training.   I stood in the middle of South Table Mountain. Curious if the pilot chose this area to practice with its wide open flat top formed about 65 million years ago during a lava flow. It might look flat but there are plenty of undulations of rock that would make for a bumpy landing.   The plane kept climbing and stalling, the sputtering engine drone was annoying in this otherwise peaceful and majestic place. The plane's peculiar behavior mirrored the history of this mountain. I reflected on the 50 years or so I have been exploring it as it continues to unveil questions about what has transpired here for decades, centuries, millennia really. It's the ultimate historical striptease.   Every time I'm there I see or experience something that makes the journey memorable. It's got a vibe, a little like the forbidden zone in Planet of the Apes, a little like an old Western movie sprinkled with a smidgeon of mystery from a true crime show. But with overarching nature and beauty.   Long before the area was invaded by gold seekers, native Ute's conducted ceremonies and burials on top. Grapeshot thought to be from early Spanish explorers was found in 1895 and In 1869 a trail was cut to the top of Castle Rock.   Mysterious structures and piles of rubble, quarries, a shooting range, and utility poles poke out of the lunar landscape crisscrossed with 16 miles of trails. Bikers roll on gravel and mountain bikes. The smooth trails are also perfect for exploring on foot. Skyscrapers in Denver dot the Eastern horizon while the front range of the Rocky Mountains cascades to the West with the town of Golden nestled in the valley between South Table Mountain and Lookout Mountain.   The prominent Castle Rock on the western edge welcomes explorers to perch on top and view Golden and beyond. Castle Rock once housed a cafe built in 1906 and in 1913 visitors could ride a funicular to the top where a casino had been built. The scar from the rails is easy to see making a straight line on the north side of the rock formation.   By the 1920s the casino had turned into the Lava Lane, a whites-only dance hall offering jazz music and a place to congregate during Prohibition. Business faded and the building was taken over by Ku Klux Klan members as a meeting place. In 1923, almost a thousand white-robed members of the Ku Klux Klan met at the summit of South Table Mountain. According to the Colorado Transcript, “A large fiery cross had been erected on the highest point of Castle Rock and it burned throughout the ceremonies, visible for several miles.” In 1927 the building burned to the ground.   In 1905 Camp George West was built on the south side of South Table Mountain and military maneuvers took place on top. In 1969 the Colorado State Patrol moved to Camp George West eventually building a testing track on top which is also used for bike racing in the summer. In the 1990s Nike attempted to purchase the land and wanted to build a 5,000-person office building, but they pulled out. Rumor has it they were just threatening to receive better tax advantages to stay in Oregon.   As a kid growing up on the eastern face of the mountain, most of it was off-limits to visitors. But thanks to Jeffco Open Space acquiring land over the years, most of it is now accessible. There are seasonal closures in areas to protect raptor populations. Trailheads are found on the East, South and West sides of the mountain in neighborhoods and just east of the National Renewable Energy Lab. The north side is home to Rolling Hills Country Club with very limited access.   The approaches from the west and south sides rise gently from the parking areas and are more doable for gravel bikes than the steeper trail from Golden accessing Castle Rock. Once on top, trails make loops and circumnavigate most of the top edges with trails cutting through the middle. They are a combo of crushed rock and hardened dirt. With so many loops and fun, quick-hit hills to navigate you can piece together all kinds of routes that never get stale.   You will see some mysterious things and in the summer be aware of the large population of rattlesnakes.   The plane finally left and flew east towards Denver. The songs of birds filled the air and a couple of deer emerged from the brush as my feet crunched the small pebbly path curiously looking at graffiti on the gun range I had never seen.   Anatomy of a Run Gait Analysis Capturing Video - front, side and back.

Did you see Anne Haug's run split in Lanzarote? Did you know that she ran almost the exact same run split last year? Shocking! But what isn't shocking is the early season signs for a number of big name athletes (and some relative new comers).  We discuss Lanzarote 70.3 and Challenge Puerto Varas then we preview all the racing this weekend including Gwen Jorgensen, Hayden WIlde and Tyler Mislawchuk in action in NZ and Cassandre Beaugrand and Jonny Brownlee in action in Portugal. We then unpack an article from Tim Hemming that asks whether the triathlon season is too full?

Last week, minutes after we finished recording, the PTO released the points from Challenge Roth (last week we interviewed the winner) which saw Magnus Ditlev receive the most points of any male performance in history. The PTO called this the greatest ever performance!  So this week, we discuss this in detail. Was it the best ever performance? Or is that something that cannot be decided based purely on numbers and algorithms? We also discuss the news that Jonny Brownlee will miss the Commonwealth Games, lots of baby news in the world of pro triathlon and some serious domination from Flora Duffy, Hayden Wilde and Danila Ryf over the weekend!

Joe Skipper joins Kristian Blummenfelt, Katrina Matthews and Nicola Spirig who will attempt to defy the impossible and break 7 hours and 8 hours for men and women respectively over the full distance. Joe's mentality is that no one, not even the dominant Norwegians and Kristian Blummenfelt is unbeatable.   Dual Olympic champion and Sub7 aspirant Alistair Brownlee has been ruled out of the Pho3nix Sub7Sub8 Project, powered by Zwift due to a stress response in his hip that requires immediate treatment. Brownlee will be replaced by fellow Brit and PTO world number six Joe Skipper who takes his shot at making history against reigning Olympic and World Champion Kristian Blummenfelt on Sunday at the DEKRA Lausitzring in Senftenberg, Germany.   It is a cruel blow for Brownlee, who along with MANA Group CEO and Pho3nix Foundation board member Chris McCormack was part of the initial team that developed the concept of delivering the first sub-7 hour full distance triathlon in late 2019.   “We are extremely disappointed with the announcement, but when you are pushing your body to the limit like Alistair has been, it's a fine line,” said McCormack. ‘Alistair is a true professional and will be there to support Joe, who has been preparing for Ironman Nice at the end of June, so in good shape to take on the challenge.''   ‘It's not going to get easier with Joe', said Blummenfelt. ‘He has a better full distance resume and a higher world ranking than Alistair. I'm looking forward to the challenge.'   “Honestly, I'm devastated, said Brownlee. ‘I was frustrated to miss St George, and now this. I'm gutted. I was so invested in the process and loved working with my team. This was the goal that stimulated me again in the sport, on par with the Olympics. I'll do what I can to support Joe.”   Brownlee, who also missed the recent Ironman World Championships in Utah, will support Skipper by pacing him in the swim, and will also join the commentary team for the live broadcast on Sub7Sub8.com. Brownlee replaces Richard Varga on Skipper's team, with Jonny Brownlee also dropping out to be replaced by German national marathon champion Frank Schauer. Skipper retains the support of the bike pacemaking team led by Alex Dowsett, who is fresh off riding in the Giro d'Italia.     Ironman Des Moines Course Swim This unique 2-loop swim course will take athletes counterclockwise in popular Grays Lake. Starting at the boat ramp, athletes will make their way to the bridge where spectators can get an up-close look at their athlete. Before starting lap 2, athletes will get out of the water, cross the peninsula and head back in the water. This 2-loop, spectator friendly swim course is a great way to kick off your race day.     Bike The rolling hills of this 1-loop bike course will take athletes through some of Iowa's best sights. Athletes will head west through beautiful West Des Moines before hitting the rolling hills of Dallas County and famous bridges of Madison County. In the heart of the course, athletes will ride through Winterset, the birthplace of John Wayne, before heading back north to Des Moines. May the wind be at your back and sun on your face. 4079 ft of elevation gain.     Run Athletes can expect an entertainment packed; 3-loop run course. After exiting T2, athletes will run around Grays Lake before heading downtown to the spectator packed Locust St where local restaurants, bars and parks will give the athletes tons of energy for their final leg of the race. Finish line will once again be in the heart of the entertainment district of downtown Des Moines: Court Ave. Music, lights, and the cheers of the crowd will give the athletes that final burst of adrenaline they crave. Be sure to soak in the beautiful Iowa summer night.     What's New in the 303:   Upcoming Multisport Events in Colorado (runningintheusa.com) Upcoming Classic Races in Colorado (runningintheusa.com)   Video of the Week: Robyn Benincasa is a CNN Hero       Closing: Good luck to those racing Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga and Ironman Tulsa this weekend!

100 days too go and we continue to count down to the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games with British Triathlete, competing for Team England this summer, Sophie Coldwell.The 27 year old from Nottingham is ready to compete in her home Games - her second Commonwealths - after claiming two podium finishes last summer in the World Triathlon Series...in Leeds and Abu Dhabi.She'll be joined in the Team England triathlon squad by mixed relay Olympic champions George Taylor-Brown, Jonny Brownlee and Alex Yee. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

German triathlete Justus Nieschlag joins us this time as we discus the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, injury struggles and recovery, and returning to Arena Games Triathlon. Nieschlag might have been somewhat of an unknown quantity at the first edition of the Arena Games, in 2020, where he took the win over Portugal's Vasco Vilaca and Olympic legend Jonny Brownlee, but now, on home soil at Arena Games Triathlon Powered by Zwift, Munich, he's sure to be one to watch.

Just over 6 months ago, Triathlon's Mixed Team Relay was one of the standout moments of the delayed Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Now the event is set to make its debut at the World Triathlon Championship Series Leeds in June, as well as being part of the 'home' Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in six months time. In this special edition of the podcast, produced for British Triathlon, we reunite the fab four of Jess Learmonth, Jonny Brownlee, Georgia Taylor-Brown and Alex Yee, to talk us through their history making Olympic gold medal! They look ahead to Leeds, Birmingham and even Paris 2024 and retaining that title!World Triathlon Championships Series Leeds takes place in Roundhay Park on June 11 and 12. Entries are open now - there's swim, bike and run events for all levels and experiences, and there's a relay option too, where you can team up with two people to complete the Triathlon together by taking a discipline each!

What are the personality traits required to not only reach an elite performance level, but to maintain that level across a career?That's the topic up for discussion as host and business leader, Paul Cheetham-Karcz, welcomes Olympic gold medal-winning British triathlete, Alistair Brownlee, to the Taking Care of Business podcast.Also covered in the conversation is the debate between competition vs participation, the difference between confidence and self-belief in all walks of life and the lessons sport can teach us on the necessity to be ruthless.Alistair also gives us his account of THAT moment where he carried his heat-exhausted brother, fellow triathlete Jonny Brownlee, across the finishing line at the 2016 World Triathlon Series in Mexico.

Finally, after 4 years of trying, our calendars have aligned and we have Jonny Brownlee as a guest on the podcast! The life of a professional triathlete is busy and that offers limited opportunities to meet up. The pandemic hasn't helped but finally, I've pinned down the younger Brownlee and I popped round to his house to catch up on everything. Starting with that Olympic Gold medal in Tokyo just a few months ago and trawling right back through the memories to the day when Jonny joined the North of England talent ID programme back in the mid-2000s. That's roughly 15 years of catching up so please pay attention as we cover a lot of topics including: A short quiz to get Jonny warmed up and help you get to know him a bit better Olympic medals and the importance of taking the time to reflect on key moments in your life Why Jonny never wanted to touch Alistair's Gold medal before he had his own Coping with COVID - not much difference to the rest of us (really!) Local fell races and the joy of running without gadgets The 4-year streak (never off the podium) and then the doldrums (rarely on the podium) Why there is such a thing as good luck and bad luck That moment in Cozumel and why it had a long-lasting effect on Jonny's fitness The debut 70.3 in Portugal and when the wheels fall off in the last 5k of the run The Paris Olympics in 2024 - yes or no?

Hey folks, today we have a repeat of a show we did 3 years ago, in January 2018.  At the time, we released it as 2 shows but today we’re combining them into one.  My conversation with Malcolm Brown is just as timely now as it was then, maybe even more so.  Malcolm is one of the foremost running coaches in the world.  He knows a thing or two about helping athletes to run faster, and the resume of athletes he’s worked with is very impressive:  Alistair and Jonny Brownlee, Vicky Holland, Non Stanford, Kelly Holmes, and Paula Radcliffe to name a few.  In the first half of this podcast, we talk about a very simple subject:  How to run faster.  And the answer may surprise you.  We cover:   3 basic principles underpinning the ability to run fast Why you should measure progress over 12 months and avoid changing the plan until that time 2 qualities possessed by all top athletes, and which you need in order to succeed Why it’s better to be a “Steady Eddie” than a “Shooting Star” The importance of being able to relish training and just enjoy being a runner Lower limb resilience and its influence on your success If you want to race faster than before, do this in training year-round   Moving into the second half of the podcast, we chat about: Why endurance sports require a long term (several years) approach to training Why it’s important for athletes not to get too worried about the outcome of any particular single session The paradox that means no session is critical, but every session is critical, and why training matters but yet it doesn’t matter How reading the book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” can help your training Why you must be equally enthusiastic about recovery as you are about training Why you should aim to peak a maximum of 2 times per year How the best performances come when you’re committed physically, mentally, and emotionally To find out more about Simon’s SWAT programme, please click HERE  Visit Simon's website for more information about his coaching programmes Links to all of Simon's social media channels can be found here For any questions please email Beth@TheTriathlonCoach.com

056: Malcolm Brown on a career in coaching and lessons from the Brownlees This episode's guest is Malcolm Brown a Performance Coach based at the Leeds Triathlon Centre where he has partnered with Jack Maitland in coaching the Brownlee Brothers, that's Alastair and Jonny – two of the greatest triathlon racers of all time.  He was previously the head endurance coach for UK Athletics, coaching athletes to international gold medals at Commonwealth, European, World and Olympic level Malcolm has journeyed through what would be considered one of the most traditional routes for a coach, being a PE teacher by trade, coaching in his spare time almost always on a volunteer basis and then as the system in the UK developed he began to coach professionally, first for athletics, then later in triathlon In this interview, Malcolm reflects over the long arc of his career and draws on the lessons that have kept him so stable, cogent and wise. Malcolm tells it like it is about the state of coaching and how it has been underinvested in, how it lacks the recognition and prominence that it deserves but ardently hopes for better and is active in creating that future for coaching.

Boulder’s Ryan Smith won the Leadville 100 trail run on Saturday night thanks to consistent second-half pacing that left his rivals unable to respond. It was the biggest win of his ultrarunning career. https://303triathlon.com/boulders-ryan-smith-wins-2019-leadville-100-with-consistent-second-half-pacing/   Endurance News: Last week we spoke about the Tokyo Olympic Test Event and the story of the two brits who were disqualified. We have a little more information on that story and information about a rule change that allowed for that disqualification. Remember when Alistair Brownlee threw is brother Jonathon across the line at the ________. The rule that disqualified this year's Brits was not in place when the Brownlee brothers raced. Follow up to the Womens Olympic test event last week: Learmonth and Taylor-Brown's disqualification meant compatriot Vicky Holland was bumped up to third, with Bermuda's Flora Duffy and Italy's Alice Betto taking first and second respectively. Two other Britons were also in the top ten; Non Stanford in seventh and Sophie Coldwell in ninth. Despite their feel-good ending being ruined, Taylor-Brown and Learmonth will no doubt take comfort in the knowledge they had no chance of qualifying for the GB Olympic team at this race regardless of their placing, due to results earlier this year. Holland was the only British woman eligible to automatically qualify for the Games here, thanks to her bronze medal in Rio, but the shortened distance meant the race lost its Olympic qualification status. Afterwards Holland was sympathetic to Learmonth and Taylor-Brown's situation.   Though the American contingent was strong and deep, boasting five of the world’s top 20-ranked triathletes among the starting field of 65, none finished on the podium and only one, fifth-place finisher Summer Rappaport of Thornton, Colo., clinched a spot for the Tokyo Games with her performance. Under USA Triathlon’s Olympic qualifying rules, as many as two spots were at stake for American women in the competition. But one would have had to finish on the podium in order for the second spot to be available. The U.S. is expected to send three female triathletes to the Tokyo Games, and there will be other opportunities to qualify next spring. Don't Fry Bacon Naked: Know Your Sport's Rules: The rule states that "athletes who finish in a contrived tie situation, where no effort to separate their finish times has been made, will be disqualified".  You might remember British Olympic medallists and brothers Alistair and Jonny Brownlee's show of sportsmanship at a 2016 World Triathlon Series race in Mexico. Legal at the time, an exhausted Jonny was helped to the line by his brother Alistair, who pushed him ahead at the finish, but an ITU disqualification rule, similar to the one employed [at the trial event], has since been introduced to stop any comparable incident. Speaking of rule changes? Do you remember when Chrissy Wellington had a flat during her second Ironman World Championship and Rebekah Keat tossed her a CO2 cartridge? I was reading Mike Reilly's book "Finding My Voice" and he talks about how the rule that allowed another competitor to provide assistance was changed. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/new-cycling-world-speed-record-neil-campbell-yorkshire-porsche-a9064286.html   Discussion kickoff: Johannes Herrmann 1 week ago How as triathletes can we complain about people drafting or Patrick Lange littering 200 meters before the finish line in Kona - saying people are not upholding the rules - and find it stupid if someone upholds the rules. 1. Those are all pros earning their living with this sport and they should know the rules as every electirician and tax advisor for their particular job. 2. We should challenge the rules as such in order to make triathlon more attractive as a sport. Question which we should try to answer to challenge the existing rule : Would anyone care or even disqualify two athletes crossing the line together and finishing in for example 14th place jointly instead of 14th and 15th? My guess - no one cares. So change the rule!     Upcoming Interviews: Dr. Kirk Parsley, sleep specialist and former Navy SEAL returning to share some new information about the most effective recovery method - sleep.   Closing: Please support our affiliate brands that support the show and help you get faster!
