Confetti at the finish is only part of the story. We sit down with Walt Disney World Marathon champion Matt Hensley to trace the path from family running roots and college grind to a smart, tactical win built on adaptation, fueling, and a decisive late-race move. Matt walks us through race-week realities—working the expo, long park days, heavy legs—and explains how dew point data and small early adjustments can save a marathon when heat sneaks in. He opens his playbook on fueling (60–90g carbs per hour), mid-race decision-making, and the difference between racing for time and racing for place, including the surge that sealed the pass near mile 20.The conversation widens to purpose, mindset, and coaching. As the founder of Boulder Underground, Matt shares how he coaches beginners to elites by aligning big goals with daily habits, calling on a trusted network of PTs, dietitians, and mental performance experts. We dig into his three-part framework for 26.2—body, mind, and spirit—so listeners leave with practical steps: test nutrition in training, find early flow instead of forcing splits, and anchor to a meaningful why when the tough miles arrive. Along the way, you'll hear a hilarious nearly-Guinness-record family saga, Disney course highlights, and the energizing role of characters, music, and community on race day.We also spotlight our Disneyland meetup details, roll call an enormous list of racers, and celebrate listener PRs from 5K to marathon. Whether you're chasing a Boston qualifier, your first half, or a steadier long run, you'll find tools and motivation to sharpen your next start line.

It is review season, and you might be finding yourself confused: you received high ratings and "exceeded expectations," yet the promotion you expected didn't happen. In this episode of the Career Growth Accelerator, I break down exactly why high performance doesn't always lead to promotion, helping you identify the structural roadblocks and strategic shifts necessary to move from senior individual contributor to staff, principal, or leadership roles,.• Understand why your performance review is never conducted in a vacuum and why your manager's peers—not just your manager—are the "voters" you need to convince with clear evidence,.• Learn why high ratings often fail to translate into a promotion if you haven't demonstrated specific impact on the company's strategic goals rather than just your own deliverables.• Discover the first major roadblock: Structural limitations where the role you want simply doesn't exist because the business context or organizational pyramid doesn't currently support it,.• Explore the concept of "Outer Layers" of scope—moving from self-focus to team-focus, and finally to business-strategy focus—to unlock the next stage of your career,,.• Identify the "indispensable trap" where performing too well at your current inner-layer responsibilities makes you terminal in your role rather than promotable.
What does it actually mean to get stronger? In this episode of Beast Over Burden, Nikki and Andrew break down adaptation through strength training—how lifting builds muscle, bone density, and resilience over time, and why the real goal isn't just PRs. They discuss the two sides of adaptation: using training to drive physical change, and learning how to make your training adapt to your life and schedule so it becomes a lifelong habit. Because strength training only works long-term when it stops being a "to-do list" item…and starts being part of who you are. If you want training that lasts for decades—not just a few motivated weeks—this episode is for you. What You'll Learn in This Episode What adaptation through strength training really means How strength training builds muscle and bone as long-term insurance Why training must adapt to your goals and your life The tradeoffs that come with different fitness priorities How consistency matters more than chasing PRs Why strength training has to become a lifelong habit, not a short-term project Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction and the "A for Adaptation" theme 02:30 – Adaptation through strength training: choosing the goal you want 05:20 – Why real adaptation requires consistent stress and recovery over time 08:40 – Training can't stay on the to-do list: making it a lifelong habit 13:30 – Moving beyond PRs and finding deeper meaning in strength training PS - IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN TAKING ONLINE COACHING FOR A TEST RUN, CHECK IT OUT HERE.

Rails upgrades don't have to feel like crossing a minefield. We sit down with Ernesto, founder and CTO of FastRuby and Ombu Labs, to unpack a pragmatic path from legacy Rails to Rails 8.1 and how AI can accelerate the work without sacrificing quality. From Ruby 4.0 landing over the holidays to a near-release of RubyCritic 5.0, we dig into the tools, the traps, and the test-suite realities that make or break an upgrade.Ernesto walks us through a free AI-powered upgrade roadmap that analyzes your repo, dependencies, and code to chart a step-by-step plan—covering everything from Rails 2.3 onward. We compare it to their paid roadmap that adds time and cost estimates for stakeholders who need budgets before they commit. Along the way, we talk strategy: why 5.2 marked a turning point for smoother jumps, where major versions still bite, and how to avoid the “big bang” deployment that topples fragile apps.AI shows up as a sharp tool, not an autopilot. Ombu is experimenting with agent-driven PRs that draft changes while humans review and refine. We assess hallucinations (better, not gone), verbose code that bloats review cycles, and the mixed evidence on productivity. Then we get practical about safe AI adoption: organization licenses, editor integrations, and enforcing your existing quality gates like RuboCop, Reek, RubyCritic, and coverage checks so “faster” still means “safer.”We also celebrate community. Philly.rb is back in person at Indy Hall with talks on AI agents and Hotwire Native, and we swap tips on discoverability, speaker sourcing, and venues. Rails remains a strong choice for startups and teams because convention over configuration helps both humans and AI produce sane, testable code. If you care about getting upgrades right and using AI responsibly, this conversation offers clear steps and real-world guardrails.Enjoy the episode?

Vintage Dreams, Modern Hands: A Conversation with PRS Guitars at NAMM 2026They were literally closing down the show floor when I grabbed Alex Chadwick from PRS Guitars for a conversation I wasn't willing to miss.We'd been talking off-mic about something that kept nagging at me—this tension between technology and creativity that runs through everything in the music world right now. So I hit record, security guards circling, and asked him straight: Is technology helping musicians become better artists, or do you still need to learn the hard way?His answer was refreshingly honest. Technology isn't inherently good or bad. It's a tool. When it helps people be more expressive, more creative—that's the win. When it gets in the way of that expression? That's when we have a problem.It's the kind of nuance that gets lost in the usual gear coverage.PRS brought some beautiful new instruments to NAMM this year. The John Mayer Wild Blue Silver Sky stopped people in their tracks—a sharp turquoise finish with the first matching headstock ever produced from their Maryland factory on a Silver Sky. Limited to a thousand pieces worldwide. For Mayer fans and Silver Sky devotees alike, this one feels special.Then there's the Ed Sheeran Semi-Hollow Piezo Baritone. A 27.7-inch scale instrument tuned a fifth below standard, with discrete outputs for both magnetic and piezo elements. But here's what got me: each guitar ships with a signed print of Sheeran's original artwork that appears on the body. He's a visual artist too. The instrument becomes a canvas for multiple creative expressions at once.But the conversation that really stuck with me was about vintage guitars and why we romanticize them so much.Those 1950s and 60s instruments—the ones on posters, in documentaries, making the music that shaped entire generations—they've become holy relics. And the ones that actually sound magical? They cost as much as a house now. So how does anyone access that?Chadwick explained something about PRS's philosophy that I found genuinely compelling. They don't go back to the fifties. They go back to 1985. That gives them freedom—they can draw inspiration from those holy grail instruments without being trapped by their quirks, their inconsistent tolerances, their aged components. They can take what made those guitars legendary and build it into something repeatable, accessible, and comfortable.The goal, he said, is to create instruments that get out of the way. Guitars that let the person be more expressive instead of fighting against limitations.That phrase has been echoing in my head since I left Anaheim. Instruments that get out of the way.Because that's really what this is about, isn't it? All the gear, all the technology, all the innovation—it only matters if it helps someone find their voice. Make their own music. Tell their own story.PRS seems to understand that. In a world obsessed with vintage nostalgia and spec-sheet comparisons, they're building for expression.And that's worth a conversation, even when security is showing you the door.Marco Ciappelli reports from NAMM 2026 for ITSPmagazine, exploring the intersection of technology, creativity, and the humans who make music possible.__________________________This is a Brand Highlight.

Send us a textWhen life throws the unexpected at you, most people ditch the plan. We took the opposite route. Facing months of broken sleep and the emotional weight of a Toby's cognitive decline, we stuck to our routines amongst the chaos, without giving up on training, coaching, or big goals on the calendar.We walk through the real choices that kept us consistent: shifting expectations so the plan bends instead of breaks, using simple systems to remove decisions on tired mornings, and protecting training time as a clean mental space. You'll hear the difference between predictable chaos and true unknowns, why a set routine matters when you can have it, and how to pivot when you can't. We also get into practical tactics like repeatable meals, hydration habits that run themselves, and focus cues like headphones and warm-up rituals that flip the switch from scattered to locked in.On the performance side, we unpack what to do when top-end strength disappears. The theme is resilience over perfection: show up, assess honestly, and execute what the day allows. Over time, that steady, adaptable approach beats the all-or-nothing cycle and keeps you moving toward PRs, fat loss, or whatever your fitness goal may be.If this season finds you stretched thin, this conversation gives you a blueprint: fewer decisions, better focus, and training that fits the real day you're living.

We flipped the script this week on Second Wind: with our guest delayed, Kyle sat in the hot seat and answered our ten signature questions himself. From a decade-plus of start lines and almost 370 finish-line stories, he digs into the run that changed him, the day that nearly broke him, and why he still laces up when motivation goes missing. You'll hear about the people who shaped his journey, the weird and wonderful moments only runners collect, and what “setback and comeback” looks like from the back of the pack. Kyle talks community, identity, and the quiet wins that matter more than PRs. There's practical advice for newer runners and a candid look at how the sport evolves alongside life. Think of it as a fireside chat with your favorite race buddy—equal parts honesty, humor, and heart. After you listen, hit us with your own answers to the Big Ten and we'll share a few on next week's show!
Today's guest is Martin Bingisser. Martin is the founder of HMMR Media, one of the most trusted independent voices in throws and track & field education. A former competitive hammer thrower, Martin blends firsthand experience with deep historical and technical insight to analyze training methods, athlete development, and coaching culture. Through articles, videos, and interviews, his work bridges elite practice and practical coaching, earning him respect from coaches and performance professionals around the world. In a world of rapid-information delivery and short attention spans, the wisdom of master coaches is becoming increasingly rare. Martin has spent substantial time with two legends in the coaching world, Anatoliy Bondarchuk and Vern Gambetta. Spending time discussing the work of the past, and wisdom through the present is a critical practice in forming an effective coaching viewpoint. On today's episode I chat with Martin in a wide-ranging conversation in coaching lessons on efficiency, adaptability, and performing under pressure (two throws, no warmups, huge crowds). We transition into Bondarchuk's training philosophy: exercise classification, consistency, “strength” as sport-specific force production, and why weight-room PRs can distract from performance. The episode closes with motor-learning insights on rhythm, holistic cues, and how Vern Gambetta's “general” work complements specificity.

Stronger eccentric abilities allow athletes to tolerate higher forces with less breakdown. Use controlled eccentric work to improve robustness without chasing constant intensity. 15:40 – Isometrics depend on intent, not just position Holding a position is not enough to drive adaptation. Martin emphasizes producing force into the immovable position to create meaningful stimulus. Cue effort and intent during isometrics instead of passively holding time. 24:30 – Tendon stiffness supports speed and efficiency Tendons transmit force, they do not just store it. Training should respect gradual loading to avoid disrupting tendon health. Elastic qualities improve when stiffness and timing are trained together. 33:50 – Fatigue management shapes training quality Not all fatigue is productive. Martin highlights watching bar speed, coordination, and effort quality to guide decisions. End sets when movement quality degrades rather than chasing prescribed numbers. 42:15 – Match training tools to the desired adaptation Eccentrics, isometrics, and dynamics all serve different purposes. Martin stresses selecting methods based on the adaptation you want, not trends. Blend methods thoughtfully instead of stacking stressors blindly. 51:20 – Daily readiness should influence loading Athletes do not arrive the same every day. Use simple readiness cues like bar speed and coordination to adjust training. Flexibility in programming helps preserve long term progress. 1:00:10 – Durability is built over time, not rushed Long term development requires patience and consistency. Martin reinforces gradual progression to protect connective tissue. not short term peaks. Quotes from Martin Bingisser “Eccentric strength is what allows athletes to absorb and redirect force safely.” “An isometric only works if there is intent behind it.” “Tendons are not passive structures, they are active contributors to performance.” “Fatigue is not the enemy, but unmanaged fatigue is.” “You have to choose training tools based on what you want to adapt.” “Readiness is not about feelings, it is about what you observe.” “Durability comes from respecting time and progression.” About Martin Bingisser Martin Bingisser is the founder of HMMR Media, one of the most respected independent platforms covering throws, strength training, and track & field performance. A former competitive hammer thrower, Martin combines firsthand athletic experience with a sharp analytical eye to break down training theory, competition trends, and athlete development across all levels of the sport. Through HMMR Media, he produces in-depth articles, interviews, videos, and educational resources that bridge the gap between elite coaching practice and accessible learning. His work is known for its clarity, historical context, and willingness to challenge oversimplified narratives in modern training. Martin has collaborated with coaches, athletes, and federations worldwide, and his content is widely used by throws coaches, sport scientists, and performance professionals seeking thoughtful, evidence-informed perspectives. His approach emphasizes long-term athlete development, technical mastery, and the craft of coaching; making him a trusted voice in the global track and field community.
Maximizing Fitness, Fat Loss & Running Through Perimenopause
What if the reason running suddenly feels harder has nothing to do with your discipline or aging and everything to do with your hormones and how you support them as they change? Many find it shocking that mechanisms of perimenopause typically start as early as our 30s and this tends to be even harder on ambitious females who love to run - but the good news is, YES, we can do something about it!In this episode, Louise, a leading expert for perimenopausal active women and runners, sits down with Sheri, a lifelong runner and high-achieving professional, to share a real, honest look at navigating perimenopause without burning out or giving up the sport you love. Sheri opens up about sudden weight gain, breathing issues, dismissed symptoms, and the frustration of trying fixes that didn't work.Together, they break down what actually helped. A bit less mileage, more specific running and strength training, intentional strategic fueling, hydration, and simple yet highly effective cortisol and stress-management habits that fit into real life. Sheri explains how shifting away from “more is better” allowed her to regain energy, lose inches, improve mood, see physique changes, and hit major performance wins, including strong negative splits and new personal records in her 40s!This conversation is a reminder that perimenopause is not a dead end nor does it have to mean decline. With the right strategy, it can be a powerful reset. If you are a runner who wants to feel strong, clear-headed, and confident again without overcomplicating it, this episode offers practical hope and proof that thriving is still possible.Watch my free masterclass on Lifewave's Holistic Patches here: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/lifewave Learn & level up with my free nutrition guide and award-winning Badass Breakthrough Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/Link to our FullScript where you can see our curated best supplement picks & save 20% off: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/breakingthroughwellness/store-start Take advantage of our podcast listener discount and save 20% off all of Kion's science-backed clean products.

In 2025, Lafayette High School's Xavier Richardson reached a season that had been years in the making.The Lexington, Kentucky senior didn't rise quickly or cleanly. His path was marked by races that fell apart, progress that stayed hidden, and belief that came late. By the time this year arrived, Richardson wasn't chasing a breakout. He was waiting to see if patience would finally pay him back.The results followed. During his junior track season in the spring of 2025, despite being known primarily as a 1600m and 3200m runner, Richardson stepped down to the 800m at the Kentucky state meet. He won it. His first individual state title.The breakthrough showed up across the board. PRs of 1:53 in the 800m, 4:09 in the 1600m, and 8:58 in the 3200m.The fall confirmed the shift. By the time cross country rolled around, he carried that momentum, running 14:44 for the 5K XC in his season debut. He went on to place second individually at the state cross country meet while helping his team secure the championship. Racing for something bigger than himself. Weeks later, Richardson finished runner-up at NXR Southeast, earning his first trip to Nike Cross Nationals. Performing under pressure.But the season wasn't built on results alone.Richardson's rise was shaped by years where progress felt invisible. By learning to trust the people around him. By staying through losses long enough for them to teach him something. This season didn't erase the failures. It made them matter.As he closes his high school career in 2026, and looks ahead to what comes next, Richardson's stands as proof that patience compounds. Not loudly. But decisively.Tap into the Xavier Richardson episode of The Sunday Shakeout.
We're back this week with a full breakdown of the Battle of the Bean 5K in Kansas City, Missouri, a race that reminded us winter running doesn't mess around. From the pre-race jitters to frozen fingers at the start line, we recap what it was like to toe the line with a real feel of –1°F. But the race itself is only part of the story. The rest of the episode dives deep into what running in extreme cold actually does to the body. We talk about how sub-zero temperatures affect muscles, joints, breathing, circulation, and overall performance. We explore why pace feels harder than effort suggests, why warming up is such a challenge, and why post-race recovery can be just as tricky as the run itself. We also touch on the mental side of running in brutal conditions and how cold weather forces runners to adjust expectations. This episode isn't about chasing PRs. It's about resilience, preparation, and knowing when showing up is the victory. If you've ever questioned whether a run was worth it once you stepped outside, this one's for you.
Every few years, a high school runner comes along who forces the entire country to look toward one place.This fall, that place was Flagstaff, Arizona, and the runner was Yohanes Van Meerten.Yohanes is a prominent high school distance runner from Flagstaff High School in Arizona, who just finished an outstanding junior season. We're not kidding when we say outstanding: he was the runner up at Nike Cross Nationals, the highest finish ever for an Arizona athlete at the meet.He also won the Arizona state championship, setting an overall course record and becoming the first runner in state history to run a 5,000m race in under 15 minutes. He set a course record at the Mt. Sac Invitational, running three miles in 14:10.10. His outdoor PRs include 4:26 in the mile, 9:14 in the 3200m, and 14:28 in the 5,000m.Yohanes was born in Ethiopia and adopted into the U.S. at age one. His story is unique as he emerged as one of the top national high school runners during his junior year, following the impressive 14:28 performance in the 5000m at Nike Outdoor Nationals last spring.He's Arizona's fastest. He's one of the nation's best. And he's just getting started. Yohanes is here and ready to tell his story.Tap into the Yohanes Van Meerten Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

Greg Foster, Co-founder and CTO of Graphite (recently acquired by Cursor), joins the podcast to discuss the massive shift occurring in software engineering: the move from maximizing "Inner Loop" speed (writing code) to solving "Outer Loop" bottlenecks (reviewing, testing, merging). With AI generating code faster than humans can review it, the traditional Pull Request model is under pressure. Greg explains how "Stacked PRs" and agentic review workflows are essential for high-performing teams, and why he believes the role of the software engineer is evolving into an "architect of agents." We also cover the strategic rationale behind the Graphite/Cursor merger, the controversial "PRs per engineer" metric, and why he predicts that by 2029, manual code writing will be near zero—but demand for engineers will be higher than ever.
240 - Joel Hoekstra In episode 240 of “Have Guitar Will Travel”, presented by Vintage Guitar Magazine, host James Patrick Regan speaks with guitarist Joel Hoekstra, in their conversation Joel describes living in New York City and growing up in the suburbs of Chicago with his parents who were both classical musicians and Joel tells us why he didn't pursue piano.

The boys are back (and they're looking for trouble - see if you can sort out that lyric) for Episode 48, kicking off 2026 with the standard blend of profanity, punk rock references, and sometimes solid safety insights. And it's another NOFX reference for an episode title.This episode tackles the problem of bloated safety stuff; those processes, procedures, and bureaucratic bullshit that organizations accumulate without ever stopping to ask "why the fuck are we doing this?" Inspired by a LinkedIn comment about Episode 45 with Perry, one of the six PRS listeners, the crew dives into the critical distinction between safety work that actually matters and compliance checkbox theater that wastes everyone's time.Before a focus on safety, though, there's some discussion about HR and accounting sometimes trying to 'wag the dog' of operations. This isn't an HR podcast, though. There is some cross-purpose, though, and there might be folks conflating goals.The conversation gets real about how safety professionals need to approach experienced workers with curiosity rather than authority. The guys emphasize starting from a place of "they probably know something I don't" - asking questions, understanding context, and actually giving a shit about people's perspectives before imposing solutions. They propose a practical exercise: list everything your safety program does, get brutally honest about why you're doing each thing, then talk to workers about better ways to achieve those outcomes. The goal isn't to eliminate safety. It's to separate genuine risk management from lazy compliance work.Throughout the episode, there's the normal chaos: discussions of armed guards, activist emails, construction security, cricket matches lasting five days, and Ron's ongoing journey to the pinnacle of safety as an OSHA 30-hour certified trainer. The episode wraps with talk of upcoming guests and connections across the industry, proving once again that safety done right is about relationships, real conversations, and not being afraid to call bullshit when you see it.By the way, if you're one of the six folks listening and you have suggestions for guests, drop us a line. Bonus points if they know things about safety and punk. DISCLAIMER: You probably shouldn't take anything in this podcast too seriously. Punk Rock Safety is for entertainment only. It's definitely not a replacement for professional or legal advice, and the fair amount of piss-taking, shithousery, and general ridiculousness ought to clue you into the fact that no one - and no organization - is endorsing (or un-endorsing, if that's a thing) any products, ideas, or other things. Except NOFX. We definitely endorse them.Oh, and give your money to Punk Rock Saves Lives. They're a rad organization that works in mental health, addiction, and human rights. And they're awesome people who can use your help to keep on kicking ass at what they do.https://www.punkrocksaveslives.org/Let us know what you think at info@punkrocksafety.com or on our LinkedIn page.Merch at punkrocksafetymerch.com

What if the strongest performance booster you're ignoring isn't a supplement, but your night routine—how you sleep, eat, and wind down before bed. If you want help turning that into a simple plan instead of guessing, start here
Send us a textA late start, a canceled senior season, and a move to Bozeman turned Lucy Kolpa from a soccer defender into one of trail running's most compelling rising names. We dive into how she traded splits for summits, built a durable engine without a coach, and learned to treat races as a celebration of big mountain days rather than a verdict on her identity.Lucy opens up about the moments that shaped her: walking on to DIII cross country with no high school PRs, discovering how sleep, hydration, and structure turbocharge confidence, and finding freedom in objective‑based long runs. She explains why winters aren't an off‑season—downhill days, backcountry tours, and finally cracking skate skiing add massive aerobic volume with minimal impact, sharpening technique and resilience for steep, technical courses.We break down her 2025 near‑podiums at Broken Arrow and The Rut, the surprise of holding her own at Sierre‑Zinal, and a 2026 plan centered on the Broken Arrow 23K, Beast of Big Creek in the Skyrunner World Series, and a return to The Rut 50K. Lucy shares her simple weekly framework: two quality sessions, one big mountain long run, and lots of truly easy miles, plus yoga and light strength to keep IT bands happy. We also get real about ambition and authenticity—how to chase sponsorship and bigger stages without losing the underdog mindset that makes training fun and sustainable.If you love mountain running, Bozeman culture, or stories of steady, joyful progress, Lucy's journey will light a fire. Listen, share with a friend who needs a nudge to get outside, and leave a quick review to help more trail fans find the show.Follow James on IG - @jameslauriello Follow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_pod

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.

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.

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!

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.

Dr. Bill Evans is here to explain how exercise physiology, 80–20 training, and smart periodization translates into real performance gains for runners at every level.Dr. Evans has his PhD in Exercise Physiology and is an Assistant Professor of Exercise Science.

His lab also integrates strength training and injury-prevention work into the mix to really give athletes a full-spectrum model.Dr. Evans never competed at the collegiate level because of a back injury, but has an impressive portfolio nonetheless: he owns PRs of 1:57 in the 800m, 3:58 in the 1500m, and 15:21 in the 5,000m. He also recently ran a 2:37 marathon.From the lab to the track to the marathon start line, Dr. Bill Evans lives the science he teaches.

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.

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.
