Send us a textSo, I have a question for you — what if running wasn't really about running? What if it was about something deeper… something you need to hold on to right now? In this week's episode, I'm talking about someone who's become kind of a running philosopher for me — Coach Chris Bennett, Nike's Global Head Coach. If you've ever needed a little push, a little grace, or a little space to just start something — anything — this one's for you. I'm also sharing a few how-to gems from him that helped me get unstuck. Yes, we're talking about runs… but we're also talking about your life, your work, and letting go of what's weighing you down. And of course, I'll give you a quick update on my PCT section hike from Siskiyou Pass to Elk Lake, the beauty, the snow, and the big lesson that this trip — like this episode — is about: purpose, grit, and connection. If you're ready to fall back in love with your own movement, your own rhythm, and your own project, give this one a listen. I'm walking — and running — right beside you. Quote of the Week “Most people aren't running to go faster or go further right now. They're running because they need something to hold on to.” – Coach Chris Bennett Running Maester (Coach Bennett) Short VideosHow to Fall in Love with Running How to Do Your First Run  How to Run on the Beach    References 1.    Bennett, C.

Losses accelerated after the White House confirmed that the cumulative tariff rate on China would actually total 145% (consisting of the new 125% duty on goods, on top of the 20% rate levied in response to the fentanyl crisis), overshadowing cooler-than-expected inflation figures.Dow fell -1,015-points or -2.50% Nike Inc (down -8.29%) was the worst performer in the 30-stock index, Nvidia Corp fell -6.79% after soaring +18.72% in the previous session.  A report from NPR said the White House has paused plans to put additional restrictions on sales of Nvidia's H20 artificial-intelligence chips after CEO Jensen Huang attended a dinner hosted by Trump and promised more investment in U.S.-based AI data centres. Separately, Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore kept Nvidia as a top pick, reiterating his Overweight rating and price target of $162. Walt Disney Co fell -6.79%, with China said it would reduce the number of U.S. movies it imports.  Amazon.com Inc (-5.17%), American Express Co (-5.9%), Goldman Sachs Group Inc (-5.24%), and Merck & Co Inc (-5.32%) all dropped over >5%.

A late session slide erased earlier strong gains on US equity markets to cap another volatile session after Beijing vowed to "fight to the end" in response to President Trump's threat of imposing new 50% tariffs unless China rapidly removed its retaliatory measures - Dow settled -320-points or -0.84% lower, having been up as much as +1,461-points or +3.85% at its session peak – marking the biggest erased percentage gain since April 2020. Apple Inc (down -4.98%) extended its decline into a fourth straight session, with White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt saying that President Trump “absolutely” wants iPhones to be manufactured in the U.S. (the company currently assembles a large majority of its products in China). The Times of India reported that Apple transported five planes full of iPhones and other products from India to the US in just three-days during the final week of March to avoid a 10% reciprocal tariff that took effect on 5 April. Nike Inc (-4.21%) also fell over >4%. Nvidia Corp (fell -1.37%)

In this episode of Talk With a Doc, we delve into a remarkable story of resilience and innovation. Howard "H" White, the man instrumental in building the iconic Jordan Brand at Nike, Inc., is now championing a new cause--the Howard "H" White Center for Cardiac Amyloidosis. Join host Jennifer Semenza as she speaks with Dr. Jacob Abraham, section head for advanced heart failure, and Dr. Jenna Kay, medical director of the new Howard “H” White Center for Cardiac Amyloidosis, both from the Providence Heart Institute. They are joined by center namesake, Howard "H" White, Vice President for NIKE Inc.'s Jordan Brand, and heart transplant recipient. The Howard “H” White Center was established in honor of White, who relied on the expert care at Providence Heart Institute  in 2017 when he was diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosis—a progressive disease that hampers the heart's ability to pump effectively. This often under-diagnosed condition deserves significant attention, prompting Providence to launch this new center to support early detection, research, and treatment.With NBA legend Michael Jordan donating $1 million in support – along with donations from many patients and leaders in entertainment, sports and business – the center aims to improve healthcare equity, particularly as cardiac amyloidosis disproportionately affects the Black community.Tune in as our panel of experts shines a light on this vital health issue and the new initiatives at the Howard "H" White Center for Cardiac Amyloidosis.To learn more about the Howard "H" White Center for the Cardiac Amyloidosis, visit: Providence Heart Institute: Howard White Center 

In episode 106, Erin shares how conversations have shaped their brand and how she turns those insights into empathetic action. It was after decades in the industry at big-name brands like Nike, Converse, and Nordstrom that Erin and her co-founder realized just how hard it is for plus-size women to find clothes that fit after an elevator conversation with a co-worker. That conversation sparked others that began Erin and Yi's entrepreneurial journey as the founders of See ROSE Go. Accomplished Chief Merchandising Officer with over 20 years of industry experience leading innovative strategies across fashion and retail, Erin's career began as a Nordstrom buyer. It was with Nordstrom that Erin discovered her passion for enhancing the customer experience, through empathy and an in-depth understanding of the customer's point of view. Nike Inc. recruited Erin to lead an Outlet division for Men's, Women's, and Kid's Apparel and Accessories. She was quickly promoted to direct Men's Apparel Merchandising for the Asia Pacific / China region. More recently, she drove significant growth in women's apparel, optimizing product lines and achieving exceptional GM% as the Global Women's Merchandising Director. In these roles, Erin remained consumer-centric, leading insight strategy and product creation to enhance the overall customer experience through superior products. In 2018, Erin co-founded See ROSE Go, a plus-size fashion brand with an ethos in intentional design, innovation, and mindful sustainability. Leading merchandising strategy, omni-channel distribution, and business development, Erin also successfully secured VC funding as a new founder with a newborn at home. In 2021, See ROSE Go received an honorable mention in Fast Company's Innovation by Design Awards for the proprietary tech/lifestyle fabric, CoolROSE™. In 2023 Erin received a U.S. Patent for this fabric. CoolROSE™ was invented as a direct response to issues women deal with but seldom speak about - body heat, sweat, and pilling from friction between body parts. Erin and See ROSE Go have been recognized by Forbes, CBS Money, and WWD for challenging industry norms. She was recently featured with her Co-Founder, Yi Zhou, in Authority Magazine as female disruptors shaking up their industry. It is the See ROSE Go mission to see women embrace their power and “go”. To Erin, style isn't just how a woman looks, it is how she moves and feels and the impact she makes while wearing See ROSE Go.

Retail sales shows the consumer is still spending August retail sales were expected to decline 0.2% in the month, but the consumer was more resilient than anticipated as they actually grew 0.1% compared to the month of July. Compared to last August, retail sales were up 2.1%. Gas stations were the biggest negative in the report as lower prices for oil and gasoline lead to a 6.8% decline compared to the prior year. If this volatile category was excluded from the headline number, retail sales would have climbed by a more impressive 2.9%. Areas of strength included nonstore retailers (+7.8%), healthcare & personal care stores (+3.5%), food services & drinking places (+2.7%), and electronics & appliance stores (+1.9%). Two areas that continued to bring down retail sales were furniture & home furnishing stores (-0.7%) and building material & garden equipment & supplies dealers (-0.1%). While this report doesn't point to a booming consumer, it definitely doesn't show an economy that is in recession.    What should investors do after the Fed's rate cut? What should investors expect going forward when interest rates decline? Going back 50 years, when the Fed begins its interest rate cuts, 16 out of 23 times 6 months after the first cut the stock market was higher. Could this be like one of those seven times it is not higher six months from now? Investors have to realize that valuations for the market are very high and this could lead investors holding those high valuation equities to sell the news. I do believe if you were a strong investor and have watched what you have paid for the earnings and cash flow of what you have invested in, you should be OK. But if you do hold in your portfolio equities trading at 25 to 35 times forward earnings, this could be a buy the rumor, sell the news situation. At our firm, Wilsey Asset Management, I know our portfolio has an average forward P/E ratio of around 12. I believe this is a very comfortable place to be in this crazy time. I would advise you to analyze your portfolio to be sure it is not overvalued.   Why you should be careful investing in the S&P 500! People continue to shift towards index investing and have a desire to invest in the S&P 500 index fund because they believe it is a good diversified investment. I continue to worry that people do not realize how risky this index has become with the overconcentration in just a few expensive stocks. The S&P 500 currently has a forward P/E of around 22-23x, which is well above the historical average of around 16-17x. The reason for this elevated figure is the outsized weight of the expensive growth stocks. If you look at the 10 largest stocks, which are Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, Alphabet (Google), Meta (Facebook), Berkshire Hathaway, Eli Lilly, Broadcom, and Tesla they now occupy over 35% of the entire index and their average forward P/E is lofty at nearly 40x. People believe they are getting a diversified portfolio, but Apple (6.86%), Microsoft (6.72%), and Nvidia (6.24%) all have larger weights than the entire sectors of real estate (2%), materials (2%), utilities (2%), energy (4%), and consumer staples (6%). Communication services has a weighting of 9%, but Meta and Alphabet make up a combined 43% of the Communication Services SPDR ETF. Consumer discretionary has a weighting of 10%, but Amazon and Tesla make up over 38% of the Consumer Discretionary SPDR ETF. While the performance of the S&P 500 has been great over the last decade, if the performance of these mega cap stocks turn so will the index. With these expensive valuations, I just don't see exciting returns over the next decade. I definitely don't believe they will even be close to what we saw over the last 10 years. Just for reference, the remaining sectors of the S&P 500 are industrials (8%), healthcare (12%), financials (13%), and technology (31%).    How will dividends impact the stock market's return? People may not realize that stock dividends historically have accounted for around 40% of the total return in the stock market. However, because of the unbalanced market over the last 10 years, dividends have accounted for just 16% of the total return. I believe over the next decade as markets adjust to more normalcy, dividends should once again play a larger role in the total return and I wouldn't be surprised to see it return to a similar rate of around 40%. Places you can look for dividends would include real estate investment trusts, utilities, energy, along with financial stocks and healthcare. But as always, when investing, be sure to make sure the investment is not overpriced and is fundamentally strong based on the financial statements.    How Much of a Rate Reduction is Needed to Refinance? With interest rates coming down, more people are starting to wonder if refinancing makes sense, but how much of an interest rate reduction do you need to be worth it? Half a percent, one percent, more? A lot of people get hung up on the interest rate alone, but you must also factor in the costs associated with getting the loan. When you get a new mortgage there are three types of costs- fees paid to originate the loan like points and underwriting fees, prepaid expenses like interest and homeowner's insurance, and other 3rd party fees like title and recording fees. When deciding on a refinance, the prepaid fees are irrelevant because they will still be paid whether you refinance or not. That leaves the origination and 3rd party fees as the actual cost it takes to get a new loan. It is important to differentiate the two because mortgage companies often advertise no point or no cost refinances, but they are generally referring to the origination fees. As the borrower you still have to pay the other miscellaneous fees, you just aren't paying them to the lender. Most people are familiar with points which are upfront fees in exchange for a lower interest rate. Over time the interest savings makes up for the points but only if you keep the same loan. You would not want to pay points if you expect to refinance again or sell in the foreseeable future. Since most people agree that interest rates are at least slightly coming down, most borrowers should not be paying points as there will likely be an opportunity to refinance at a lower rate. Instead of paying points, you can do the opposite and accept a higher interest rate in exchange for “lender credits”. These credits can then be used to pay the fees which results in a true “no-cost” refinance. Consider a situation where you have a mortgage at 7% and the ability to refinance into a 6% loan but at a cost of $15,000 in fees. Instead, it would likely make sense to refinance into a higher 6.5% loan using credits to cover the cost and then refinance again in 6 months assuming rates will be lower. In other words, you wouldn't want to spend an extra $15,000 to save $1,500 in interest over the next 6 months. With this logic, even the smallest rate reduction at no cost would still make sense.   Companies Discussed:  Nike Inc. (NKE), Snap Inc. (SNAP) & Lululemon Athletica Inc (LULU)

He's internationally recognized for his research in the control of, and limitations to, skeletal muscle oxidative metabolism; causes of exercise intolerance in health and disease; respiratory physiology, particularly the kinetics of pulmonary gas exchange and ventilation during and following exercise; and sports performance physiology and nutrition, particularly in relation to endurance athletics. Prof Jones has authored more than 350 original research and review articles (>38K citations) and is co-Editor of three books. He is a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine, the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences, the European College of Sport Science, and the Physiological Society.

He's been an advisor and consultant to the Breaking 2 and INEOS projects with Eluid Kipchoge and professional endurance athletes including Paula Radcliff. Professor Jones gives his understanding of the evidence of the performance effect of the so called “super shoes” and whether they explain the recent pro marathon runner excess performance and if so, by how much. Amateur marathon runners may find interesting our exchange about the Boston Marathon and how it is getting harder to get into, and what amateur marathoners must do to enhance performance in order to qualify and get into the Boston Marathon today. Professor Jones gives his perspective on the popularized notion that when it comes to marathon training “volume is king” and if not, what would be the alternative. We talk about distance runners that are getting older, and how Professor Jones recommends changing training, if at all, for those looking to remain competitive. Finally, we talk about science and evidence-based nutrition protocol throughout the training cycle and pre-race and race nutrition.
