In this episode, Steph talks about planning and preparing in a different way...this time in regards to PACE. She emphasizes the need for speed in life can be great, but left unchecked often leads to burnout for people. She describes setting "upper" and "lower" bounds for efforts, and how it can help people maintain consistency and make meaningful progress without overwhelming themselves. The conversation draws on the classic fable of the tortoise and the hare to illustrate that slow and steady efforts often lead to greater success than a fast but unsustainable approach.Chapters00:00 Finding Your Sustainable Pace01:51 The Importance of Clarity and Vision04:32 Understanding Upper and Lower Bounds09:32 The Tortoise and the Hare: A Lesson in Pacing

Can technology truly enhance athletic performance, or are athletes becoming overly dependent on data? Join us as we explore how tech overload affects endurance athletes, sometimes hindering performance by drowning them in a sea of metrics. We share personal experiences and introduce Product 28, an initiative urging athletes to unplug, trust their instincts, and focus on the essence of training, much like the precision required in NASCAR, where only a few key metrics really matter. From primitive tracking tools to social media-like community hubs, training platforms like TrainingPeaks and Strava have revolutionized how athletes engage with their routines. We examine the cultural shift they've sparked—where sharing workouts has become as anxiety-inducing as missing them. Strava's evolution, in particular, serves as a fascinating case study of how gamification and social sharing reshape training behaviors, often prioritizing social validation over personal fitness goals. Data paralysis is real, and it's reshaping athletic training. Athletes can find themselves overwhelmed by sleep trackers, HRV graphs, and AI-driven workouts that make decisions for them, leading to outsourced decision-making and a disconnect from their intuition. We recount a personal tale from the 2009 Ironman Coeur d'Alene that underscores the value of listening to one's body over blindly following data. Through this narrative, we highlight the importance of balancing technology with personal insight for a more fulfilling training journey.
Today's episode is getting into the real heart of marathong training - we're exploring what specific workouts and pacing wil be used as we trudge through the most difficult and taxing 5 weeks of our entire buildup - THE MARATHON PHASE! Personally, life continues to move forward with some small setbacks (bike crash!) and the weather is getting warmer (and more humid!) ... we must take it all into consideration as we push the ball forward with only 5-6 weeks remaining in training!

They also unpack the evolution of Ellie and Dina's relationship, the brutal tactics of the Seraphites, and how voice actors from the game are being honored in the series. Plus, a look ahead to next week's emotional flashback episode featuring Joel and Ellie in a space museum.

Jesse's reappearance adds layers to the drama, especially given his relationship with Dina. The infected are getting smarter, adding horror elements not typical in standard zombie shows. Fans of the game will recognize the iconic space museum flashback teased for next episode. Voice actors from the game are given meaningful roles in the show, showcasing their talent beyond voice work. Quotes: “We're seeing Ellie go into the dark side, accepting it because it's the most effective way to get things done.” “It's nice to see Dina not just as a love interest, but as someone Ellie needs to stay grounded.” “Pedro Pascal is the top A-list actor right now—don't come for him, Rowling.” “Voice actors are actors.

Vinny's dentist cut ties (yes, seriously), Grayson's shower routine sparks a full-blown philosophical debate about whether gravity counts as hygiene, and somehow—despite all odds—we're still optimistic about the future of the MCU. We've seen Thunderbolts, and we have thoughts—rants about Marvel's magical goop, overpowered weirdos, and the pacing problem that won't quit. From 3D printing solutions to small talk breakdowns at the barber, it's a rollercoaster of adulting disasters, fast food conspiracies, and the one thing we can agree on: flossing is a lifestyle. In this episode: The importance of warranties when buying appliances. Yard sales can be a new hobby to explore. 3D printing offers creative solutions for everyday needs. Listener feedback can lead to interesting discussions. Personal connections with service providers, like dentists, matter. Small talk can be awkward in certain professional settings. Hygiene habits vary widely among individuals. Shower routines can reflect deeper personal habits. Gravity does not replace the need for washing legs. Humor can be found in everyday life situations. Flossing is essential for dental health. Water picks alone are not sufficient for oral hygiene. Personal experiences with dental issues can shape one's perspective on health. Nostalgia plays a significant role in our appreciation of historical sites. Conspiracy theories can be humorous and absurd. Fast food establishments may have hidden practices to save money. Childhood exposure to conspiracy theories can leave lasting impressions. Classic games and shows evoke strong feelings of nostalgia. Supporting local businesses and artisans is important. The evolution of pop culture reflects societal changes. The Mighty Ducks sequel series faced challenges during COVID-19. Tom Cruise is considered the last true movie star. PAX East is a significant event for gaming enthusiasts. 'Conclave' features a surprising twist at the end. The theme of friendship is central in 'Thunderbolts.' Characters in movies can be overpowered yet mentally unstable. Pacing issues can detract from a film's overall impact. Marvel's current phase is perceived as weak. The future of the MCU is uncertain with upcoming films. James Gunn's direction is anticipated to revitalize DC films. Recorded 5/3/2025.

I walk you through how I'm approaching the unusually cold weather, the new technical course changes, and the long stretches without pacers.

I suck at threshold running—and that's exactly why I train it.If you've ever pushed too hard in training and felt wiped for days, this episode is for you. I take you along on a real sub-threshold workout—three sets of controlled discomfort just below the redline—and explain why this “missing” zone is where real aerobic strength comes from.

Plus, there's a free 8-week plan if you want to try it for yourself.Key TakeawaysSub-threshold running helps you build real aerobic strength without constant high effort.Most runners either avoid this zone or run too hard—missing the adaptation.Learning how to pace using heart rate, effort, and terrain awareness is crucial for long-termTimestamps[00:00] Final sprint breakdown and intro: “Dude.

Matt aka Stormageddon emerges from a pipe to surprise Case and Sam with the power up of a movie, The Super Mario Bros. Movie! Can they make it through with only three continues? Music by Vin Macri and Matt Brogan Podcast Edited by Sophia Ricciardi Overview In the podcast recording discussion titled "Another Pass at The Super Mario Bros Movie," hosts Case Aiken and Sam Alicea, joined by guest Matt (Stormageddon), delve into their cinematic experiences of the 2023 film, praising its 92-minute runtime and appeal to both children and nostalgic adult fans. They highlight standout performances, notably Jack Black as Bowser and Anya Taylor-Joy as a proactive Princess Peach, while critiquing Chris Pratt's portrayal of Mario as merely average. The hosts discuss the film's visual splendor and numerous Easter eggs, though they express disappointment over its reliance on pop music rather than classic Mario compositions. Despite some criticisms of the plot's formulaic nature and suggestions for improvement, the overall consensus is positive, deeming the film entertaining while respecting the franchise's legacy; potential sequels and upcoming projects are also touched upon as they conclude the episode.

Triathlon is all about pacing and this goes for workouts, races, and your entire season.

Are you changing for the sake of changing and the dopamine hits?

Zach and Annie dive deep into the art of transition, emotional pacing, and connection in long-term relationships. With their signature mix of warmth, honesty, and thoughtful reflection, they explore how couples can move from emotional distance to reconnection—without overwhelming each other. The episode kicks off with banter about TikToks and volleyball, then shifts into the heart of the matter: how relationships evolve when we learn to slow down, name what's happening inside us, and give our nervous systems time to catch up. Annie introduces the concept of “titration”—a gentle, incremental approach to change—and explains how it can transform conflict, emotional intimacy, and even personal growth in marriage. They also unpack the meaning behind defensiveness, offer powerful metaphors like “two stump spouses” and “learning how to swim before diving into the deep end,” and share a profound story from Annie's own marriage about grief, rage, and radical honesty. Key Takeaways Titration: A Slow Path to Growth Just like IV fluid must enter the body slowly to avoid harm, emotional intimacy must also be introduced gently. In marriage, rushing change can overwhelm both partners. Learning to pace growth allows real connection to develop. Defensiveness Is a Signal, Not a Flaw Annie reframes defensiveness as the body's way of saying, “Something in me needs defending.” This awareness transforms conflict into curiosity: What part of me (or my partner) is trying to stay safe right now? Marriage as a Long Game Cultural myths tell us that getting married is the destination. But marriage is actually the beginning of a lifelong practice. Zach poses the question: When does the future start? The answer? Now. The “Two Stumps” Metaphor Annie shares a client story: two spouses, emotionally worn down, feel like “stumps.” But even a stump can grow a new tree—if both people are willing to name where they are and choose to rebuild. Narrating the Inner World to Bridge Emotional Distance Instead of acting from emotion, Annie shares the power of narrating your internal dialogue to a partner. Her story of grief and rage during her father's passing—and how naming it created immediate connection with her husband—is a masterclass in vulnerability. Learn more about your ad choices.

This one's a little different—no guests, no live race calls—just me sharing the full story of how I went from a bullied high school runner to a thru-hiker to an ultra runner trying to get comfortable being uncomfortable.I talk about quitting school to hike the Pacific Crest Trail, building a monster endurance base through FKTs and 8,000-mile slogs, and how I've had to completely rewire my brain and body to embrace faster, higher-effort racing. We hit on pacing, fueling, treadmill hiking, crew control issues (yes, I admit it), and why I “Jeff” everything in life.Plus, I talk about my weird obsession with making my own drink mix, being risk-averse in ultras, and how training for Cocodona (year 5!) is going. There's a bunch of insight here—especially if you're a thru-hiker looking at ultras, or an ultra runner wondering what lessons the long trails can teach.Oh—and we start by breaking some actual running news: Des Linden is coming for the 50-mile world record at Tunnel Hill.

Get ready for a wild and unapologetically off-the-rails ride on this week's “Kliq This,” as Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver kick things off by pondering one of life's real head-scratchers: ever have a day where you just want to be a small Asian woman getting railed…by yourself? The conversation only gets crazier from there, with Sean offering White Lotus updates and Kev comparing it all to who-knows-what from past pop culture. You'll wonder if the guys have traveled to an alternate universe—or maybe they're just enjoying their front-row seats to the strangest corners of wrestling and TV. Before you know it, Nash and Oliver are dissecting a particularly spiky moment on AEW Dynamite, featuring Moxley, Cope (or maybe Edge—you be the judge), and that now-infamous toilet brush from hell. A little ringworm talk floats by next, because what's a wrestling deep dive without a few nasty tales of unclean mats, questionable promoters, and every other pitfall of life on the road? As Kev always says, you don't truly know pain until you see how nasty things get when half the roster's dealing with ringworm and you're seriously debating whether to walk out before showtime. Looking for more road stories and real talk? Kevin's got you covered on how to survive travel, the subtle art of “regularity” on the road, and why you should never trust the catering in certain promotions. He also dives into behind-the-scenes madness with talent arrivals, bizarre run-ins, and all the million little things that make wrestling shows the glorious cluster they often are. If you've ever thought about bringing your own toilet paper to a gig, congratulations—you and Big Sexy think alike. Of course, it wouldn't be “Kliq This” without the guys hitting you with left-field humor and some big-guy financial chatter. Kevin muses on everything from investment advice to bracket busters, because apparently, a deep dive on Kenyon Martin and the Florida basketball program pairs perfectly with stories about near-death experiences in the ring. Think of it like the perfect storm of wrestling nostalgia, stock tips, and comedic tangents only Nash and Oliver can conjure. By the time they wrap, your head will be spinning with random trivia, locker room memories, and the undeniable, unfiltered chemistry that only happens when The Big Guy and Sean get in front of the mic. Come for the unholy joke about iguana eggs, stay for the inside scoop on how not to get impaled by a spiked brush. If you're looking for that genuine, laugh-so-hard-you-cry vibe with just a touch of backstage scandal, you've found your new favorite hour right here on “Kliq This.” Enjoy the ride…and maybe pack some baby wipes.

On today's episode, we're lucky to have a couple of special guests to discuss prehospital transcutaneous pacing. Medics turned medical students and EMS researchers, Josh Kimbrell and Judah Kreinbrook recently published a case series decsribing EMS pacing capture. Like many of our favorite topics this came from a paramedic asking a clinical question with loads of dogma and little evidence. What they found should motivate us all to be skeptical when it comes to determining if TCP is actually working.

Click the Link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! In this landmark episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling analyze groundbreaking research that validates their core teaching principles about fasting effectiveness. The hosts examine two studies from the same research lab, comparing one-day versus two-day weekly fasting protocols. This shows that participants following the two-day approach experienced significantly greater visceral fat loss, while simultaneously reporting reduced hunger compared to traditional calorie restriction. They unpack the surprising finding that fasting participants consumed more calories while exercising less, yet achieved superior results, challenging simplified "calories in, calories out" theories. The research demonstrates how combining strategic fasting with protein pacing (prioritizing protein at 35% of intake) substantially improves fat-free mass retention while dramatically reducing dangerous belly fat. This provides listeners evidence-based validation for adopting a sustainable fasting lifestyle. This episode provides compelling scientific support for what the hosts have taught for years: that strategic fasting combined with mindful eating delivers superior weight loss results with less hunger and greater lifestyle flexibility than conventional approaches.
