www.run4prs.comEver wonder why some runners just seem naturally fast — while others train just as hard but never quite hit those breakthrough PRs?

Welcome back to the WHOOP Podcast! To kick off the New Year, WHOOP Global Head of Human Performance, Principal Scientist, Dr. Kristen Holmes, sits down with 2x HYROX World Champion, Meg Martin. Meg joins the WHOOP Podcast to share what it really takes to push your physical and mental limits—without burning out. Meg shares how a childhood in gymnastics and sports aerobics built her discipline, why most people overdo intensity in their workouts, and how she and her husband balance elite performance with a focus on recovery and longevity. Meg and Dr. Holmes dives into sickness, travel, immune resilience, sleep, and why mindset work is the real secret behind achieving PRs. Meg presents the idea of “fears week”, a habit she has implemented in her coaching technique to help her clients grow on and off the HYROX course. Whether you're looking to compete in HYROX, or hoping to build a stronger focus on mental strength, this episode provides you with the habits and mindset shifts to push your performance limits. (00:47) Meg Martin's Journey to HYROX(02:11) What Is HYROX? (03:32) Building Mental Toughness For HYROX(04:43) “You Have To Love To Hurt” Why Athletes Are Drawn To HYROX(08:07) The Mindset Of A World Champion(10:29) Navigating Illness and Injury As An Athlete(14:48) How Meg Thinks About Sleep, Rest, And Recovery(18:16) Building A Supportive Team & Community(21:59) Incorporating Mindfulness in Coaching (27:54) Finding Happiness & Purpose To Overcome Fears(30:19) HYROX Training True or False Questions(36:29) Volume and Intensity Training As A HYROX Athlete(40:17) How To Build Your Pacing Instincts in HYROX(44:17) Being A Business Owner and Full-Time Athlete(46:55) A Message To New HYROX Athletes: Tips and TechniquesFollow Meg Martin:InstagramYouTubeTikTokSupport the showFollow WHOOP: Sign up for WHOOP Advanced Labs Trial WHOOP for Free www.whoop.com Instagram TikTok YouTube X Facebook LinkedIn Follow Will Ahmed: Instagram X LinkedIn Follow Kristen Holmes: Instagram LinkedIn Follow Emily Capodilupo: LinkedIn

For decades, fitness culture has tended to break people into two categories: you're either a strength guy or an endurance guy. You lift heavy or run far — but not both.But my guest today says you don't have to choose; you can excel at both modalities and be ready for anything.Alex Viada is a coach, a physiologist, and the author of The Hybrid Athlete. He's a powerlifter who's also completed Ironman triathlons, and he's deadlifted 700 pounds and run an ultramarathon in the same week. Even if your goals are much more modest — you'd like to, say, set some weightlifting PRs in the gym and be able to run a decent 5k — Alex's training philosophy can help you combine lifting and endurance in a smart, sustainable way that builds true all-around fitness.In our conversation, Alex explains how to combine training for strength with distance sports like running or cycling, how to test your progress, how to recognize and avoid the two kinds of fatigue, and why becoming a hybrid athlete will help you live more adventurously — and more capably.Resources Related to the PodcastAlex's previous appearance on the AoM podcast: Episode #860: Get Fit, Not Fried — The Benefits of Zone 2 CardioAoM Article: A Guide to the Biggest Thing Missing From Your Fitness Routine — Zone 2 TrainingAoM Podcast #970: The Misconceptions of HIIT (And the Role It Can Play in Your Fitness Routine)AoM Podcast #787: Run Like a Pro (Even If You're Slow)AoM Podcast #777: Becoming a Hybrid AthleteConnect With Alex ViadaComplete Human PerformanceAlex on IGSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When you're young, longevity doesn't feel urgent. Strength training is about PRs, aesthetics, or stress relief. But as life speeds up—and as you watch parents and peers lose independence—the real value of training becomes clear. In Episode 2 of the C.L.A.R.A. series, Andrew and Niki explore what longevity actually means, why strength training protects quality of life, and how consistency through imperfect seasons keeps you capable for decades. They discuss Dr. Jonathan Sullivan's concept of compressing the morbidity window, the dangers of the "sick aging phenotype," and why strength training must become a non-negotiable as life changes. This episode is about playing the long game—so you remain independent, capable, and strong for as long as possible. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro + Episode 2 of the CLARA series 03:15 – What longevity really means (and why it didn't resonate earlier) 03:45 – Compressing the morbidity window & the sick aging phenotype 06:30 – Strength, independence, and not becoming a burden later in life 09:30 – Why "mediocre" workouts still matter for longevity 13:20 – Muscle as a metabolic reservoir (blood sugar, diabetes, bone health) 17:45 – Coaching, adaptation, and training for the long haul 24:45 – Clara shoutout + "your future self will thank you" PS - Ready to finally see real change? Lean In 12 delivers noticeable fat loss, improved strength, and unmatched consistency through expert coaching and daily support — all in one premium 12-week program.

In this episode, Brynn Anderson and I listen together to a rare lecture from the legend Manly P. Hall, recorded on December 22, 1985, before a live audience in Los Angeles, as a way of consciously opening a new year. In this lecture, Hall uses the turning of the season as a metaphor for the rebirth of light and life within each of us, emphasizing that every new year presents the same quiet invitation: to realign. He speaks of happiness not as something to pursue, but as a natural byproduct of alignment; when thought, action, and inner purpose come into harmony with universal law. Rather than urging external change, Hall points toward inner maturity as the true foundation for renewal.A central theme of the talk is light itself. Hall describes the sun as both a macrocosmic source of life and a microcosmic symbol of the illumination each person carries within. To "act as the light within" he suggests, is to live in a way that naturally expresses clarity, balance, and understanding. Over the course of his lifetime, Hall returned again and again to this idea: that personal growth and inner responsibility are not only spiritual ideals, but the real solution to our collective challenges.As we listen, Brynn and I take notes, and we reconven after to reflect on what we have learned.. This episode offers a different kind of New Year opening - one grounded in awareness rather than urgency, and rooted in the understanding that lasting change begins with alignment, as we step forward carrying the light we've cultivated within.www.prs.orgManly P. Hall Bio:Manly Palmer Hall (March 18, 1901 – August 29, 1990) was a renowned philosopher, author, and mystic who delved deeply into esoteric traditions and spiritual knowledge. Born in Peterborough, Ontario, Hall moved to the United States at a young age and soon became a prominent lecturer on occult and metaphysical topics. His curiosity and passion for ancient wisdom culminated in the publication of *The Secret Teachings of All Ages* in 1928, Over his lifetime, he authored more than 150 books and delivered over 8,000 lectures. His teachings spanned subjects such as Hermeticism, Rosicrucianism, astrology, comparative religion, and the symbolism found in sacred texts.In 1934, Hall founded the Philosophical Research Society (PRS) in Los Angeles, a center dedicated to the study of philosophy, comparative religion, and personal development. The PRS continues to preserve his vast collection of manuscripts and teachings.Hall's work has had a lasting impact on those seeking spiritual growth, often serving as a bridge between modern spiritual seekers and ancient wisdom traditions. Despite passing away in 1990 under mysterious circumstances, Hall's influence remains significant among students of esoteric and philosophical studies. Hosted on Acast.

From creating SWE-bench in a Princeton basement to shipping CodeClash, SWE-bench Multimodal, and SWE-bench Multilingual, John Yang has spent the last year and a half watching his benchmark become the de facto standard for evaluating AI coding agents—trusted by Cognition (Devin), OpenAI, Anthropic, and every major lab racing to solve software engineering at scale. We caught up with John live at NeurIPS 2025 to dig into the state of code evals heading into 2026: why SWE-bench went from ignored (October 2023) to the industry standard after Devin's launch (and how Walden emailed him two weeks before the big reveal), how the benchmark evolved from Django-heavy to nine languages across 40 repos (JavaScript, Rust, Java, C, Ruby), why unit tests as verification are limiting and long-running agent tournaments might be the future (CodeClash: agents maintain codebases, compete in arenas, and iterate over multiple rounds), the proliferation of SWE-bench variants (SWE-bench Pro, SWE-bench Live, SWE-Efficiency, AlgoTune, SciCode) and how benchmark authors are now justifying their splits with curation techniques instead of just "more repos," why Tau-bench's "impossible tasks" controversy is actually a feature not a bug (intentionally including impossible tasks flags cheating), the tension between long autonomy (5-hour runs) vs. interactivity (Cognition's emphasis on fast back-and-forth), how Terminal-bench unlocked creativity by letting PhD students and non-coders design environments beyond GitHub issues and PRs, the academic data problem (companies like Cognition and Cursor have rich user interaction data, academics need user simulators or compelling products like LMArena to get similar signal), and his vision for CodeClash as a testbed for human-AI collaboration—freeze model capability, vary the collaboration setup (solo agent, multi-agent, human+agent), and measure how interaction patterns change as models climb the ladder from code completion to full codebase reasoning. We discuss: John's path: Princeton → SWE-bench (October 2023) → Stanford PhD with Diyi Yang and the Iris Group, focusing on code evals, human-AI collaboration, and long-running agent benchmarks The SWE-bench origin story: released October 2023, mostly ignored until Cognition's Devin launch kicked off the arms race (Walden emailed John two weeks before: "we have a good number") SWE-bench Verified: the curated, high-quality split that became the standard for serious evals SWE-bench Multimodal and Multilingual: nine languages (JavaScript, Rust, Java, C, Ruby) across 40 repos, moving beyond the Django-heavy original distribution The SWE-bench Pro controversy: independent authors used the "SWE-bench" name without John's blessing, but he's okay with it ("congrats to them, it's a great benchmark") CodeClash: John's new benchmark for long-horizon development—agents maintain their own codebases, edit and improve them each round, then compete in arenas (programming games like Halite, economic tasks like GDP optimization) SWE-Efficiency (Jeffrey Maugh, John's high school classmate): optimize code for speed without changing behavior (parallelization, SIMD operations) AlgoTune, SciCode, Terminal-bench, Tau-bench, SecBench, SRE-bench: the Cambrian explosion of code evals, each diving into different domains (security, SRE, science, user simulation) The Tau-bench "impossible tasks" debate: some tasks are underspecified or impossible, but John thinks that's actually a feature (flags cheating if you score above 75%) Cognition's research focus: codebase understanding (retrieval++), helping humans understand their own codebases, and automatic context engineering for LLMs (research sub-agents) The vision: CodeClash as a testbed for human-AI collaboration—vary the setup (solo agent, multi-agent, human+agent), freeze model capability, and measure how interaction changes as models improve — John Yang SWE-bench: https://www.swebench.com X: https://x.com/jyangballin Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction: John Yang on SWE-bench and Code Evaluations 00:00:31 SWE-bench Origins and Devon's Impact on the Coding Agent Arms Race 00:01:09 SWE-bench Ecosystem: Verified, Pro, Multimodal, and Multilingual Variants 00:02:17 Moving Beyond Django: Diversifying Code Evaluation Repositories 00:03:08 Code Clash: Long-Horizon Development Through Programming Tournaments 00:04:41 From Halite to Economic Value: Designing Competitive Coding Arenas 00:06:04 Ofir's Lab: SWE-ficiency, AlgoTune, and SciCode for Scientific Computing 00:07:52 The Benchmark Landscape: TAU-bench, Terminal-bench, and User Simulation 00:09:20 The Impossible Task Debate: Refusals, Ambiguity, and Benchmark Integrity 00:12:32 The Future of Code Evals: Long Autonomy vs Human-AI Collaboration 00:14:37 Call to Action: User Interaction Data and Codebase Understanding Research

Consistency is the foundation of strength training—but it's also the hardest part. In the first episode of the C.L.A.R.A. series, Andrew and Niki break down why strength training consistency matters more than motivation, outcomes, or perfect programming. If you've ever struggled to stick with lifting, lost momentum after early progress, or felt discouraged by slow results, this episode explains why that's normal—and how to stay in the process anyway. C.L.A.R.A. stands for Consistency, Longevity, Accountability, Resilience, and Adaptability. These five principles form the mental framework for lifelong strength, health, and sustainable training. This episode focuses on consistency because everything else flows from it. You'll hear why outcomes like PRs and physique changes can become distractions, how discomfort and delayed feedback sabotage consistency, and why buy-in matters more than motivation. The conversation also explores common obstacles to staying consistent with strength training, including soreness, injury, decision fatigue, limiting beliefs, and the mental load of trying to do everything "right." This episode kicks off a new series designed to help lifters think beyond the barbell and build strength that lasts for decades—not just months. Timestamps 00:00 – Why this series exists and why consistency comes first 03:00 – Introducing the C.L.A.R.A. framework 06:15 – Consistency over outcomes and PR obsession 09:45 – Buy-in, churn, and why consistency drives results 14:00 – Discomfort, delayed feedback, and limiting beliefs 21:30 – Decision fatigue, friction, and the role of coaching 30:15 – Looking ahead to longevity and the long game PS - Ready to finally see real change? Lean In 12 delivers noticeable fat loss, improved strength, and unmatched consistency through expert coaching and daily support — all in one premium 12-week program.

Are we watching the rise of the greatest distance running teammate duo in history? Ethan Strand and Parker Wolfe are well on their way to grabbing that title, and their next stop is with Team USA for the World Cross Country Championships.Parker recently won his first professional national title at the 10,000m XC championship in December; Ethan won the 2,000m in electric fashion. Both runners are from the University of North Carolina and now run professionally for the Swoosh Track Club under coach Mike Smith.Ethan is the NCAA Men's Indoor 3000m record holder, having run a 7:30.15 back in 2024; his mile PR is also a sizzling 3:48.32. Parker won the 2024 5,000m Outdoor NCAA Championship, and ran his impressive 29:16 at the Glendoveer Golf Course in Portland recently to secure first in a competitive USATF championship field. Parker has PRs of 3:48 in the mile on the road, 3:34 in the 1500m, and 13:10 in the 5,000m. The boys are back to show how elite confidence is built, how teammates become rivals, and how records are meant to be broken.Tap into the Parker Wolfe/Ethan Strand Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it. Comment the word “PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen. If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!S H O W  N O T E S-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run  -THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffz

www.run4prs.com for a free week of trainingThink you're too old to chase a PR? Think again.The biggest barrier to performance isn't your age—it's your mindset. In this episode, we're busting the myths about aging and running performance. Yes, bodies change—but decline isn't inevitable. You'll learn the science behind how your body adapts at every age, how to train smarter (not harder), and how shifting your mindset might be the most powerful tool you have.From strength and recovery strategies to real stories of runners hitting lifetime PRs in their 40s, 50s, and beyond—this episode will show you what's still possible.

In this video, I break down a simple body recomp plan that works for people who train hard and want steady results. If you do 4-5 WODs a week or any functional fitness program, you'll learn how to eat in a way that supports muscle gain, fat loss, and better performance—without tracking every macro to drop those stubborn final 10lbs.I explain why so many athletes stall out on the last 10 pounds, how nutrition affects strength and recovery, and what one frictionless change unlocks consistent fat loss while fuelling your PRs. This is the exact approach I use with real CBG clients who want to look stronger, feel better, and keep crushing their WODs.If you have questions or want a specific topic covered next—like busy-day fuelling or weekend recomp hacks—drop it in the comments.Learn more about CBG Coaching:https://cbgonlinenutritioncoaching.com/application-ytCBG helps you build muscle, lose body fat (including the last 10lbs), and perform better in your workouts—without the stress of counting calories.Subscribe for weekly videos on nutrition, performance, and body recomposition.Follow on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/cbgnutrition/#bodyrecomp #Last10Pounds #fatloss #musclegain #wod #hyrox #functionalfitness #nutritioncoach #performancefitness

n this solo episode of The Eric Bach Show, Eric shares the lessons he wishes he'd understood earlier in life as he approaches 37. From training, hormones, and bloodwork to money, risk, and relationships, this is a straight-shooting blueprint for building a body and life that actually hold up over the next 10–20 years.What you'll learn:– Why time feels like it speeds up after 30 and how “I'll start later” quietly destroys your potential.– The real cost of always playing it safe and how fear of risk keeps you stuck.– How a single decision to invest in mentorship (even when money is tight) can change your entire trajectory.– Why health is the ultimate wealth and how some 35-year-olds look 25 while others look 55.– How your habits in your 20s and early 30s compound into either disease or high performance later in life.– What “middle age” actually is when you zoom out on lifespan and why that should light a fire under you.– How late nights, partying, and chronic stress now can show up as heart, liver, and metabolic issues down the road.– How to train for longevity without going soft: focusing on movement patterns instead of worshipping specific exercises.– Why chasing old PRs into your 30s and 40s can wreck your joints and what to focus on instead.– A simple approach to fat loss and muscle gain that doesn't rely on gimmicks or “fat loss workouts.”– Why your metabolism usually isn't broken, but your daily habits are.– Why you should get comprehensive bloodwork done in your 20s and 30s and use it as a baseline.– How to think about hormones, TRT, and peptides without skipping the hard lifestyle work.– What alcohol and THC actually do to your sleep, brain, hormones, and long-term performance.– Why steps, cardio, and explosive work like jumps and throws matter more as you age.– How small aches, pains, and old injuries can become major problems if you ignore mobility and recovery.– The importance of buying back your time with money and skills instead of staying stuck doing everything yourself.– Why changing your environment, friends, and sometimes even where you live can be the unlock for your next chapter.– How to build systems and standards so doing the right thing is as automatic as brushing your teeth.– Why motivation is overrated and consistency wins.– How to design a life where you don't feel like you're constantly starting over every year.Who this episode is for:– Men and women in their 20s and 30s who don't want to wake up at 40 wondering what happened.– High performers who feel like their health, energy, or body is drifting in the wrong direction.– Anyone who wants a long-term plan that integrates training, lifestyle, bloodwork, and environment.Work with Eric:If you want a customized plan built around your body, schedule, and goals, apply for coaching at:bachperformance.com/coaching

A little Christmas magic meets marathon grit. We open with holiday cheer, community thanks, and a few playful ideas—from telethons to extra-big meetup cookies—before diving into a rewind that still gives us goosebumps: the Walt Disney World Marathon story of first-time marathoner and champion, Stephanie Muscat.Stephanie's path started in the pool. Years of swimming turned into tentative laps on an indoor track, then into local 5Ks and half marathons that built confidence. She explains why runDisney hooked her—the DJs at 3 a.m., the pre-start electricity, and the promise of sprinting past Spaceship Earth—and why Disney was the perfect stage for a marathon debut. On race day she kept the goal simple: a smart run around three hours. The early lead surprised her, Main Street USA brought tears, and a bike lead quietly guided the way. At mile 19, rain poured at Blizzard Beach, second place loomed a few minutes behind, and Stephanie turned the weather into fuel. By the time she entered EPCOT, the possibility became a pulse, then a certainty: tape up, arms high, a finish line she won't forget.We also share practical updates for runners prepping for Marathon Weekend, Princess, and Springtime Surprise—training checkpoints, ADR reminders, and big news from runDisney: Dopey Challenge merchandise access limited to registered Dopey runners on day one, with verification and item limits. Our Disney Springs meetup is set, free, and cookie-powered, with a flag raffle and a group photo at 3:30 p.m. The race report packs in festive wins from across the country: PRs and age-group podiums, costumes and community, and a subzero grind that ended in hot chocolate.Whether you're chasing a BQ, jumping into your first 5K, or just here for the Main Street chills, you'll leave fired up with clear tips, real talk, and a reminder that if you make it to the start, you're already winning.

Quase um mês depois do golpe de Estado na Guiné-Bissau, diversas figuras políticas da oposição e ativistas continuam detidos. Apesar das promessas, dívidas do Estado moçambicano a profissionais da saúde e educação continuam por liquidar. União Europeia vai conceder apoio de 90 mil milhões de euros à Ucrânia para os próximos dois anos.

The early alarms, the corrals, the castle, the finish line glow—Marathon Weekend is closer than it feels, and we're tackling the questions you're actually asking. We dig into the big simulation week and why it's more about patience than pace, then talk taper calm and how to internalize race pace without burning yourself out. From there, we zoom into the choices that matter: smart carb loading at Disney (yes, fries can be part of a plan), when a hydration vest helps, and how to keep your hands, feet, and head warm with simple gear that won't slow you down.We map spectator routes that work for early birds and back-of-packers—TTC for easy mid-race cheers and a monorail return to EPCOT for the finish—plus a cheer squad meetup near Coronado Springs around Mile 20–21 for that late-race lift. Sleep still tricky? We share practical routines, layered alarms, and low-stress morning timelines that get you to security, a character photo, and your corral without rushing. We also break down shoe rotation for challenges and the one rule we never break: nothing new on race day.Course talk stays honest: which Magic Kingdom approach feels better, why Cone Alley relief matters, and how to segment the marathon into bite-size goals that carry you through the hard miles. If the wall shows up, tuck into a Galloway pace group or lean on the runners beside you; conversation, music, and simple countdowns can turn a tough patch into forward motion. We wrap with a race report full of cold PRs, muddy finishes, and a spotlight on Rocket City's hat trick challenge, proving again how community turns big goals into finish-line moments. If this is your first 5K or your seventh start at 26.2, there's a plan here to make race day feel doable.Subscribe, share with a friend gearing up for Marathon Weekend, and tell us your best cold-weather or spectating tip in a review—we'll feature our favorites on a future episode.Send us a textSupport the showRise and Run Podcast is supported by our audience.

Mistletoe and Wine became the UK's Christmas Number One on 18th December, 1988; the first of three singles Cliff Richard would take to the top of the festive charts. What makes its triumph so curious is that the song began life as a sardonic showtune written in 1976 for a small musical based on The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Andersen. Originally, it underscored a scene in which the impoverished heroine is literally kicked into the snow by the heartless middle classes. Its journey to yuletide staple began with Twiggy's 1987 performance in an ITV adaptation of the musical. By then the number had morphed into a lively pub singalong, catching the ear of Terry Britten, long-time Cliff collaborator, who passed the tune along.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly discover why Leslie Stewart, one of the songwriters, disliked Cliff's canonical version; explain why British ears appreciate the song with simultaneous earnestness and irony; and reveal what links this festive classic to the iconic theme tune for ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?'...

Today we are featuring two articles that relate to moving genetics into mainstream healthcare. In our first segment, we discuss polygenic risk scores and the transition from research to clinical use. Our second segment focuses on hypermobility Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and the triaging of clinical referrals.    Segment 1: Readiness and leadership for the implementation of polygenic risk scores: Genetic healthcare providers' perspectives in the hereditary cancer context   Dr Rebecca Purvis is a post-doctoral researcher, genetic counsellor, and university lecturer and coordinator at The Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia. Dr Purvis focuses on health services delivery, using implementation science to design and evaluate interventions in clinical genomics, risk assessment, and cancer prevention.   In this segment we discuss: - Why leadership and organizational readiness are critical to successful clinical implementation of polygenic risk scores (PRS). - How genetic counselors' communication skills position them as key leaders as PRS moves from research into practice. - Readiness factors healthcare systems should assess, including culture, resources, and implementation infrastructure. - Equity, standardization, and implementation science as essential tools for responsible and sustainable PRS adoption. Segment 2: A qualitative investigation of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome genetics triage   Kaycee Carbone is  a genetic counselor at Boston Children's Hospital in the Division of Genetics and Genomics as well as the Vascular Anomalies Center. Her clinical interests include connective tissue disorders, overgrowth conditions, and somatic and germline vascular anomaly conditions. She completed my M.S. in Genetic Counseling at the MGH Institute of Health Professions in 2023. The work she discusses here, "A qualitative investigation of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome genetics triage," was completed as part of a requirement for this graduate program.    In this segment we discuss: - Why genetics clinics vary widely in how they triage referrals for hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS). - How rising awareness of hEDS has increased referral volume without clear guidelines for diagnosis and care. - The ethical and emotional challenges genetic counselors face when declining hEDS referrals. - The need for national guidelines and clearer care pathways to improve access and coordination for EDS patients.

I cannot tell you how special this episode feels to me. Laura Galeazzo — who longtime listeners will remember as the very first guest I ever interviewed back in 2016 — is back on the show, and catching up with her brought everything full circle. When I launched this podcast, I was a young mom with two little kids, newly pregnant with my third, dreaming about building something of my own. Laura said yes to being my very first interview when all I had was a microphone, a simple idea, and a whole lot of belief. Since then, she's lived so much life: she's had two babies, become a real estate agent, coached athletes, and continued to chase big goals with the same quiet determination that made her story so compelling in the first place. She's now a 2:49 marathoner and recently ran a huge half marathon PR, breaking through years of self-doubt to rediscover her confidence. I've watched her navigate seasons of grit, seasons without PRs, and seasons where she just kept showing up for herself — and seeing her run her strongest races yet is incredibly inspiring. It feels so right to have her back on the show all these years later, still getting after it and still reminding us what's possible when you keep going.

Send us a textA Facebook group started after a post-marathon lull turned into a global home for older women who run—and the stories behind it will make you lace up. We sit down with Sherry, founder of Old Ladies Running, along with Erin and Diane, to explore how a simple idea grew into nearly 18,000 members who celebrate first miles, comeback races, and everything in between. The heart of it isn't PRs; it's the culture: questions welcomed, no snark, real experience shared freely, and support that feels as steady as a training plan.We dig into why this space resonates where others fall short. Many over-50 groups skew male; many women's forums skew young. This community bridges the gap with practical mentorship and warmth—gear tips that actually help, reassurance through injuries, and honest talk about pacing, recovery, and the mental game. You'll hear how “pain-free plus three” accelerates safe returns, why run-walk can be as fast as continuous running with better next-day legs, and how strength training and dynamic warmups prevent nagging setbacks.There's momentum beyond the feed: after a rain-soaked but unforgettable meetup at Flying Pig, we're organizing a West Coast gathering at Rock 'n' Roll San Diego with multiple distances and an easy-to-reach venue. Members share travel hacks, hotel blocks, and discount-hunting strategies so more people can join. Along the way we reflect on growing up pre- or early-Title IX, claiming visibility as older athletes, and the quiet power of showing up for each other—whether it's a turkey trot, a Disneyland 10K, or a London Marathon charity bib.If you're craving a kinder running space and a push to try the next distance—without the pressure—this conversation is your sign.

We discuss: Loïc's path from applied cryptography and offensive security in France's defense industry to submarines, e-signatures, Docusign, and now Superhuman Mail What 3,000+ engineers actually do at a “simple” product like Docusign: regional compliance, on-prem appliances, and why global scale explodes complexity How Superhuman thinks about AI in email: auto-labels, smart summaries, follow-up nudges, “Ask AI” search, and the rule that AI must never add latency or friction Superhuman's agentic framework: tools vs. agents, fighting “agent laziness,” deep semantic search over huge inboxes, and pagination strategies to find the real needle in the haystack How they evaluate OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and open models: canonical queries, end-to-end evals, date reasoning, and Rahul's infamous “what wood was my table?” test Infra and cost philosophy: local-first caching, vector search backends, Baseten “box” pricing vs. per-token pricing, and thinking in price-per-trillion-tokens instead of price-per-million The vision of Superhuman as your AI EA: auto-drafting replies in your voice, scheduling on your behalf, and using your inbox as the ultimate private data source How the Grammarly + Coda + Superhuman stack could power truly context-aware assistance across email, docs, calendars, contracts, and more Inside Superhuman's AI-dev culture: free-for-all tool adoption, tracking AI usage on PRs, and going from ~4 to ~6 PRs per engineer per week Why Loïc believes everyone should still learn to code, and how AI will amplify great engineers with strong fundamentals while exposing shallow ones even faster — Loïc Houssier LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/houssier/ Where to find Latent Space X: https://x.com/latentspacepod Substack: https://www.latent.space/ Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction and Loïc's Journey from Nuclear Submarines to Superhuman 00:06:40 Docusign Acquisition and the Enterprise Email Stack 00:10:26 Superhuman's AI Vision: Your Inbox as the Real AI Agent 00:13:20 Ask AI: Agentic Search and the Quality Problem 00:18:20 Infrastructure Choices: Model Selection, Base10, and Cost Management 00:27:30 Local-First Architecture and the Database Stack 00:30:50 Evals, Quality, and the Rahul Wood Table Test 00:42:30 The Future EA: Auto-Drafting and Proactive Assistance 00:46:40 Grammarly Acquisition and the Contextual Advantage 00:38:40 Voice, Video, and the End of Writing 00:51:40 Knowledge Graphs: The Hard Problem Nobody Has Solved 00:56:40 Competing with OpenAI and the Browser Question 01:02:30 AI Coding Tools: From 4 to 6 PRs Per Week 01:08:00 Engineering Culture, Hiring, and the Future of Software Development

Jarrod Gies brings more than just sales wisdom to the table; he's also a dedicated fitness coach, kickboxing instructor, and advocate for the powerful connection between physical fitness and professional success. Jarrod shares practical insights on how routines like morning walks, strength training, and mindful meal prepping are not just good for the body but are vital boosters for energy, focus, and resilience in high-pressure sales roles. He explains how discipline in the gym translates directly to discipline in the office, and why making time for recovery and hydration is just as crucial as closing deals. Grab your water bottle and get ready for an episode that could transform both your life and your pipeline. Outline of This Episode [05:05] Why timing your workout benefits your mood. [07:56] The impact of hydration and nutrition on your health. [10:26] Jarrod's tips for an effective recovery routine. [11:07] Why fitness is the foundation for your success. [14:18] A personal story of how taking care of his health improved Jarrod's work performance. [16:45] Fitness isn't just about the gym, it's about maximising every aspect of life. Building the Positive Feedback Loop Jarrod frames the relationship between physical fitness and sales performance as a "positive feedback loop." Energy and productivity drawn from regular exercise boost stamina and reduce fatigue, setting sales professionals up for higher daily outputs. The discipline necessary for a successful sales career supports consistency with fitness routines. Jarrod breaks down how fitness reinforces: Stress management and resilience: Exercise reduces stress hormones and helps salespeople recover more quickly from the daily pressures of quotas, targets, and objections. Cognitive performance: A strong body supports a sharp mind, meaning crisper thinking, better decision-making, and more effective selling. Confidence under pressure: Physical training fosters self-confidence, making it easier to handle difficult negotiations or challenging clients. Discipline and habits: Consistency in fitness translates directly to consistency in following up, prospecting, and closing sales. Jarrod's Winning Wellness Routines for Sales Professionals Rather than adopting extreme programs, Jarrod champions sustainable, high-impact habits: Morning Workouts for Mental Clarity: Starting the day with a strength session sets the tone for focus, goal-setting, and enthusiasm. Exercise triggers endorphin release, providing an energy boost that carries into morning calls and meetings. Prioritizing Hydration and Nutrition: Jarrod emphasizes the importance of starting the day with water and a balanced breakfast that includes protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Meal planning and prep prevent reliance on quick (and often unhealthy) fixes that can lead to energy crashes during critical selling hours. Recovery and Sleep: Recovery is as essential as rigorous workouts. Quality rest, stretching, and downtime allow both the mind and body to recharge, reducing the risk of burnout and chronic fatigue. Health Is the Foundation, Not an Extra One of Jarrod's core messages challenges the all-too-common habit of sacrificing health for what feels like higher productivity. Neglecting well-being leads to low energy, poor focus, and higher absenteeism. By making fitness and self-care top priorities, sales professionals not only feel better and live healthier but also gain measurable improvements in daily output and long-term sales performance. Jarrod's own experiences powerfully illustrate the sales-fitness connection. Early in his career, poor eating and lack of exercise led to midday fatigue and fewer client visits. Adopting healthier habits resulted in more calls per day, higher energy, and a measurable spike in sales numbers. Even during career disruptions, returning to a structured fitness routine provided the anchor needed to restore focus and productivity at work. Fitness isn't just about sculpting bodies or hitting PRs; it's about building a foundation for sustained high performance in sales and in life. For anyone looking to excel in sales, making health and fitness a core part of your routine isn't just advisable; it's essential.

We're living in the golden era of NCAA middle distance running, and Elliott Cook is right in the center of it. Elliot is the NCAA Outdoor 1500m runner-up (3:39.57) from 2024, while also coming in 8th at the US Olympic Team trials that year, running a career best 3:33.84. His other PRs include a 3:55 mile and 1:45.26 in the 800m.In high school he was a four-time Ohio D1 Central District champion, a state indoor 1600m champion in 2020, and nabbed district titles in the 800m and 1600m; he also had a top-10 finish at Nike Cross Midwest. Now a senior at Oregon finishing up his last days as a collegiate runner, Elliot battled a hip injury throughout the winter, but was able to compete this spring and summer, where, in July he ran his 800m personal best. He competed at the US Olympic Trials again this past summer, running a strong 3:35.36 to finish fourth in his heat, but missed the finals in a stacked field. Elliott's rise reminds us that progress doesn't always announce itself, sometimes it builds quietly until the moment everything clicks. If you're chasing something big, take a page from his story. Stay patient. Stay consistent. Your breakthrough might be closer than you think.Tap into the Elliot Cook Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it. Comment the word “PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen. If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!S H O W  N O T E S-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run -THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffz

In this inspiring strength training transformation story, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson sit down with Coach Mac McGregor and his longtime client, Gillespie Ferguson, to explore one of the most powerful journeys ever shared on Beast Over Burden. Once a self-described "unathletic" late starter plagued by chronic pain, self-doubt, and years of setbacks, Gillespie rebuilt not just his lifts but his entire understanding of what he was capable of. Through patient coaching, persistent work, and a deep friendship formed through the process, he transformed from a hesitant beginner into a confident, physically capable Coast Guard volunteer on the Isle of Skye. In this candid conversation, Mac and Gillespie walk through the early struggles of pain and insecurity, the slow technical rebuild of every lift, the psychological work of staying committed through setbacks, and the surprising breakthrough that came years into training. They also share the dramatic impact of Lyme disease, the process of starting over from scratch, and why knowing how to train is the ultimate form of resilience. This episode is a reminder that strength is not reserved for the gifted—it's for anyone willing to start, struggle, and keep showing up. Whether you're a beginner, someone returning from pain, a coach working with complex clients, or simply someone who needs to hear that transformation is possible at any age, this is an episode you don't want to miss. What You'll Learn in This Episode How Gillespie went from chronic pain and self-doubt to the strongest he's ever been Why rebuilding technique can feel slow—but changes everything The role of psychology, confidence, and patience in long-term coaching How Coach Mac used experimentation and customization to solve persistent pain What to do when progress stalls (sometimes for months at a time) The breakthrough moment when strength finally "clicked" How improved nutrition and mindset accelerated transformation The surprising impact of Lyme disease—and how to start over the right way Why strength training skills stay with you for life How training helped Gillespie earn a place in the Coast Guard Why this strength training transformation story is so powerful for late starters Timestamps 00:00 – Intro: Meet Mac & Gillespie 02:25 – Gillespie's beginnings: not athletic, not confident, but willing 07:40 – Early training attempts & meeting the first lifters who inspired him 11:10 – Working with Carl Schutt & the challenges that carried into lockdown 15:55 – The first in-person session with Mac & rebuilding from scratch 21:30 – Psychology of pain, fear, and believing you're "not built for strength" 26:05 – The slow technical fix: empty bar squats, 40-kg deadlifts, constant troubleshooting 30:20 – When progress finally took off: nutrition, confidence, and consistency 35:42 – Hitting big PRs: 187.5 kg deadlift, 140 kg squat, and more 39:55 – Disaster strikes: the onset of Lyme disease 43:20 – Starting over with a fresh LP after treatment 47:00 – Becoming Coast Guard–ready: strength meets service 50:25 – What Gillespie wishes he could tell his younger self 54:10 – Mac and Gillespie reflect on friendship, persistence, and purpose 58:00 – Final thoughts & how coaching changes lives PS: Get early access to Black Friday Sales > https://bit.ly/3LmWhx2 - Save 50% on Online Coaching and Nutrition - Save up to 50% on the Barbell Academy - Gift Strength and get a bonus month   Connect with the hosts Niki on Instagram Andrew on Instagram Connect with the show Barbell Logic on Instagram Podcast Webpage Barbell Logic on Facebook Or email podcast@barbell-logic.com
