Andrew Graham-Dixon's new book, Vermeer: A Life Lost and Found, rests on the conviction that you cannot understand what's in a painting without knowing what its maker was thinking about. In Vermeer's case, that context includes a forgotten liberal sect — the Remonstrants and Collegiants, Christians without a church who believed peace would come through reading and toleration rather than a returning Messiah. Recover that world and a woman alone in a sunlit room is a radical image in a Europe where half of Germany had just died in war. If he's right, the label beside every Vermeer in every museum will one day have to change. Tyler and Andrew discuss whether it was inevitable we'd rediscover Vermeer, how that vanishingly rare sect left its fingerprints all over his life, why the Met has misread its own Allegory of the Catholic Faith, whether Vermeer painted for money or pointedly refused to, where the Gardner's stolen Concert might be, why Dutch music never blossomed as much as Dutch painting did, how the Church of England rivaled the Cultural Revolution in wiping out British art, whether you can still spot an English painting on sight, the love that saturates late Rembrandt and the mystery of his soaring print prices, the nail on the wall that proves two Vermeer paintings are a pair, why the French are to blame for George Stubbs lack of status, whether we can still love Malevich, why Andrews calls recent Richter "almost like printing money," why female artists and antique textiles remain absurdly cheap, why nobody builds beautiful neighborhoods any longer, and much more.

My guest for today's episode is Josh Kerr – mile world record holder. On July 18th at the London Diamond League, in front of 60,000 people, Josh ran 3:42.66 to break Hicham El Guerrouj's record that had stood for 27 years, which was the longest-standing mile world record in the history of the event, and one that many believed might never fall. He did it by calling his shot four months in advance, locking himself into a specific date and venue before he had even finished rehabbing the calf he tore at the World Championships in Tokyo last September.Josh is already one of the most decorated middle-distance runners of his generation — world champion, two-time Olympic medalist, two-time world indoor champion at 3000 meters. But the world record puts him in a different category entirely. He is now the seventh Brit to hold the mile world record, and the first since Steve Cram in 1985, joining a line that runs through Roger Bannister, Seb Coe, Steve Ovett, and Steve Cram. The race commentator on the world feed, Tim Hutchings, called it the ballsiest world record in the history of middle-distance racing. It was hard to disagree.This conversation was recorded two days after the race, with Kyle Merber joining as co-host. We get into the full arc of Project 222. We go deep on the spike Brooks built specifically for his foot strike and what it actually contributed to the margin. Josh walks us through the whiteboard session in Albuquerque where they debated every split for an hour, the 1200m time trial two weeks out that converted the last remaining skeptics, the mental performance framework that kept him in flow state when 60,000 people were watching, and what was happening internally when he cracked that smile before the gun and went completely deaf with 150 meters to go.We also get into what Tokyo taught him, the cage door philosophy Danny Mackey lives by, and who the performance was really for…which is not the answer you might expect.____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSCORE: The CORE 2 Thermal Sensor takes the guessing out of heat training.

Chris Chavez and Kyle Merber drop the full preview of the 2026 USATF Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Icahn Stadium in New York City, held Thursday through Sunday.CITIUS MAG will have daily end-of-day recap podcasts, a daily newsletter, and interviews on YouTube throughout the weekend.Watch on USATF.tv, Peacock, and NBC (Saturday and Sunday TV windows). Free tickets are available courtesy of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's 500-ticket giveaway for Thursday and Friday. If you live within a couple hours of Icahn Stadium, no excuses.Some of the events discussed in this episode:– Women's 10K (Thursday): Thin field after Karissa Schweizer scratched. Top eight from last year's USAs are not competing. Kyle's read: the scratch actually makes for a better race — more wide open.– Men's 10K (Thursday): 13 men entered. Grant Fisher versus Woody Kincaid as the headline matchup — Grant riding the momentum of his first Diamond League victory and doubling in the 5K.– Women's 100m (Friday): No MJW vs. Sha'Carri head-to-head.– Men's 100m (Friday): Noah Lyles vs. Kenny Bednarek. Noah has been everywhere at Fanatics Fest and FIFA World Cup events so the question is how much that toll has taken. Kenny knows this is a great opportunity to get one up on him.– Women's 3000m steeplechase (Saturday): One of the deepest American steeple fields of the season — seven athletes entered at 9:20 or faster. The fastest American time of the year comes out of this race.– Men's 3000m steeplechase (Saturday): Matt Wilkinson at 8:09 is the ninth-fastest man in the world and a clear favorite — remarkable given he was on crutches after last year's USAs and came back with a straight-up PR.– Men's 1500m (Saturday): Top five from last year not competing so the race opens up.– Women's 1500m (Saturday): The rest of the field will be watching Nikki rather than racing their own race, so it's becoming a Faith Kipyegon dynamic where others defer rather than attack.– Women's 800m (Sunday): Roisin Willis is the top seed and story of the year in the women's 800 — US indoor record holder, strong outdoor season, coming off a brilliant performance in Stockholm. Addy Wiley has a Diamond League victory.– Men's 800m (Sunday): Brandon Miller scratched after London. Cooper Lukhenhaus vs. Donavan Brazier as the top billing — two of three members of last year's World Championship team.– Women's 5K (Sunday): Parker Valby vs. Shelby Houlihan. These two have never raced. Parker has run 14:39 this season (going by herself, no one could hang). Shelby was fourth at Worlds, has been running 800s, 1500s, 2 miles, 10Ks — she's fit and she's an 8:15 person with the ultimate kick.– Men's 5K (Sunday): Grant Fisher the heavy favorite.____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSBANDIT: For 2026, Bandit is providing support for any Unsponsored athletes competing at the USATF Outdoor Championships.

Chris Chavez and Preet Majithia reconvene to debrief the rest of the London Diamond League. Chris and Kyle Merber's emergency pod captured the immediate reaction; this episode is the follow-up, covering everything that got overshadowed by the world record.We discuss:– Preet in the building: Eight flights of stairs between the mixed zone and the seating area to watch Josh Kerr's world record run.– Post-race mixed zone: Josh got emotional exactly once — when Hannah England asked him about the mental toll of the entire process. His first beer since his December wedding was that Saturday night. For a Scotsman, six months without a beer is its own kind of suffering.– Was the world record overshadowed by the World Cup? The day before the World Cup final, England played France in a 6-4 third-place match the same evening. The next morning, BBC Sport's homepage had zero stories about Josh Kerr.– Does this get Josh knighted? Chris's very American question.– Does the mile world record mean as much globally as the 1500? Preet raises the question: the mile matters enormously in the US and UK, but does it land elsewhere?– Sawe vs. Kerr: which was bigger?– Women's 800m — Keely wins in 1:56.21: The pacemaker went through 400 in 56.8, suggesting they were targeting sub-1:55 but backed off — if she'd gone through in 55 flat as planned, it might have been a 1:55 race. Preet's context: this was Keely's 50th sub-2:00 performance and her nineteenth sub-1:57.– Would you rather have Josh's career or Keely's right now?The rest of London — the performances that got overshadowed:– Brandon Miller, 1:42.19 in the men's 800m: Nearly a full second PB, fifth all-time for Americans. Timed his kick off the final bend perfectly.– Julien Alfred, 21.66 in the women's 200: Third win in nine days.– Karsten Warholm, 46.61 in the 400 hurdles: World lead, first hurdles race win of the season, meeting record.– Ja'Kobe Tharp, 12.89 in the 110m hurdles: Fifth time under 13 seconds this season — the first athlete in history to go sub-13 in five consecutive 110m hurdles races.– Kayinsola Ajayi, 9.84 in the men's 100m: Beats world champion Oblique Seville for the second time this season — turns and looks at him as they cross the line.– Rai Benjamin, 44.05 PB in the men's 400m: Beats Matthew Hudson-Smith (44.18). First Diamond League 400m win.– Marileidy Paulino, 48.97 in the women's 400m: Fourth sub-49 this season.– Jess Hull wins the women's 3000m, 8:24.69: Fierce surge with 200 to go– Looking ahead: Josh Kerr to appear on the CITIUS MAG podcast Wednesday.

Planning for retirement can feel overwhelming, especially as you approach the transition from earning a paycheck to relying on your savings. The early phase of retirement brings unique challenges, and it's no surprise that there are plenty of misconceptions that can lead you astray. In this episode, we break down five of the most prevalent retirement myths, share insights from working with clients, and offer practical guidance to help you make confident, personalized decisions for your future.   1. "I'll Spend Less In Retirement Than When I Was Working"   This is one of the most widespread assumptions—and financial media often reinforces it by suggesting you'll only need 70-80% of your pre-retirement income. However, the reality is often quite different. In early retirement, spending typically increases as retirees suddenly have more time for activities, hobbies, and travel that were perhaps squeezed out during their working years. Parental obligations can linger, with adult children sometimes relying on financial assistance well into their late twenties or thirties. Unexpected repairs, long-postponed home improvements, or even a burst of "retirement honeymoon" spending are common. Recognizing these patterns, and planning for them, can help set more realistic expectations for your retirement budget.   2. "I Don't Have Time to Recover from a Market Downturn Anymore"   It's natural to become risk-averse as retirement nears; no one wants to see years of savings diminished by a bear market. Today's retirees are living longer than previous generations—often enjoying 25, 30, or even 35 years in retirement. This expanded timeline means you still have the potential (and perhaps the need) to ride out stock market fluctuations and recover from downturns. Avoiding growth assets altogether in favor of perceived "safety" may actually represent a different kind of risk: the erosion of purchasing power due to inflation.   3. "I'll Only Spend Interest and Never Touch My Principal"   This "live-off-the-interest" approach may have worked in an era of higher interest rates, but it's limiting in today's environment. We advocate for a total-return strategy: you draw from a mix of interest, dividends, and capital gains as appropriate. This helps maximize your spending potential and accounts for variable needs and market fluctuations. Clinging to the old mindset of never spending principal may feel safer, but it can artificially constrain your quality of life and generosity toward loved ones or causes you care about.    4. "I Shouldn't Retire Before 65 Because of Health Insurance"   Many people believe they must keep working until Medicare eligibility at 65 due to concerns about the high cost and complexity of health insurance. While the Affordable Care Act and COBRA have shifted the landscape, these options are often misunderstood or overlooked. Model retirement scenarios and run cost estimators to see if pre-65 retirement is out of reach or if it might be achievable—perhaps with an added planned expense for private insurance or by using available subsidies. Make decisions based on personalized numbers, not generalizations or fear. Sometimes, paying for private health insurance can be a worthwhile trade-off for earlier retirement and the memories made with family and friends.   5. "I Don't Need to Worry About Long-Term Care—I'll Just Stay in My Home"   It's tempting to imagine that aging in place solves long-term care needs, but the reality is that nearly 80% of retirees require some form of long-term care eventually. Whether it's in-home assistance or moving to a residential community, the costs are significant—often $80,000 per year or more, and potentially much higher for round-the-clock or specialized care. Failing to plan for these expenses may burden loved ones and potentially result in less-than-desired care options. Medicaid is not a reliable fallback for most financially secure retirees.   Outline of This Episode   01:53 Why early retirement often brings increased spending  05:26 Rethinking life expectancy reality 06:44 Discussing financial planning strategies 09:25 Misconception about living off interest 13:22 Financial plan modeling: test scenarios to see if earlier retirement is feasible 17:13 Importance of clarifying care intentions before a crisis arises     Resources & People Mentioned   7 Common Misconceptions about Retirement Planning | CCRRBC Inheritocracy by Eliza Filby About the Affordable Care Act | HHS.gov Medicare Finances: A Perspective on the 2026 Trustees Report

Lose 10-20 lbs In 8 weeks  - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I break down what it actually looks like to eat, train, and recover like an athlete — and why most people wildly underestimate the recovery side of it. Sophie and I get into the boring stuff that actually works: routine, consistency, eating the same things at the same times, and treating your training like it matters even on the days you don't feel like it. Then we get into the athlete mindset — every day is day one, life is a competition, do whatever it takes — and why that applies whether or not you'll ever play a sport. 90 Day Clubhouse Kickstart Program- https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html Free Calorie Calculator https://ericrobertsfitness.com/free-calorie-calculator/ Buy One, Get One 50% Off, Legion Athletic Supplements Code “ERIC” HERE https://legionathletics.rfrl.co/qj2dy Check out Marek Health at https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf_marekhealth.html?ref=podcast Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@ericrobertsfitness Video Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@EricRobertsFitnessPodcast

Today's episode is about one word, sis. One tiny, three-letter word that is quietly deciding the direction of your entire recovery — and honestly, your entire life. "I want freedom, BUT I'm terrified." "I want to recover, BUT I've tried everything." "I want peace with food, BUT I don't trust myself." Sound familiar? That little word BUT is doing more damage than you realize — and today I'm handing you the one-word swap that changes everything. Grab your Tarjay journal, girl. This one's a game changer. BUT is a fixed mind Here's what the word BUT actually does: it erases everything that came before it. "I want freedom, BUT I'm scared." Do you hear it? The want just got deleted. The fear got the final word. BUT is a full stop dressed up as a sentence — it takes your desire and slams the door on it. BUT is the fixed mind talking. It says these two things can't exist together: if I'm scared, I can't move. If I've struggled before, I can't succeed now. If it's hard, it must not be for me. I lived in BUT for years. I want to get better, BUT this is just who I am. Every BUT was a brick in the wall between me and my freedom. AND is a growth mind Now watch what happens with one swap: "I want freedom, AND I'm scared." Both things get to be true. The fear doesn't erase the want. The want doesn't require the fear to disappear first. They walk together. AND is the growth mind: I can be terrified AND take the next step. I can have doubts AND keep going. I can have a history of struggle AND a future of freedom. This is how courageous women actually move — not by waiting for the fear to leave, but by letting the fear ride in the backseat while the want drives. Not one woman who ever got free stopped being scared first. They just stopped letting BUT have the last word. You can't choose both — choose one Coach Lindsey coming in hot, because I love you too much not to: you cannot live in BUT and AND at the same time. One kills the want; one carries it. So the next level of your life — the recovered you, the free you, the fully-present-at-the-dinner-table you — is asking you one question: what does this next level require from me? It starts here: choose your word. BUT or AND. Fixed or growth. The wall or the door. You're already choosing one, a hundred times a day, in the tiny sentences inside your head. Today, choose it on purpose. The longest walk you'll ever take My business mentor and coach James Wedmore says something that has never left me: "The greatest distance we will ever walk is between our head and our heart." And whew — is that the truth in recovery. Because your head already knows. You've listened to the podcasts, read the books — you could teach a class on what recovery requires. Knowledge isn't your problem, sis. The walk is from knowing it up here… to believing it in here. From "recovery is possible" as information to "recovery is possible FOR ME" as truth. And what carries you on that walk isn't more information — it's AND. Every time you say "I'm scared AND I'm doing it anyway," you take one more step from your head toward your heart. Every meal chosen in fear, every rest taken in doubt, every hand raised for help before you feel ready — those are the footsteps. That's the walk. Try it on Take your sentence — you know the one — and swap the word: "I want to be free, BUT I've had this for decades" → "I want to be free, AND I've had this for decades — so I know exactly how much this freedom is worth." "I want to trust myself, BUT I've broken promises to myself before" → "I want to trust myself, AND I'm learning to keep promises to myself, one at a time." Feel the difference? BUT ends the story. AND continues it. And sis — your story is not finished. A few lines from the episode "BUT is a full stop dressed up as a sentence." "The fear doesn't erase the want. They walk together." "Not one woman who ever got free stopped being scared first. She just stopped letting BUT have the last word." "The greatest distance we will ever walk is between our head and our heart." — James Wedmore "BUT is the wall. AND is the door." "I want this, AND I'm scared, AND I'm going anyway." Your homework this week Catch your BUTs. Every time you hear one in your head — I want this, BUT… — pause and swap it out loud: I want this, AND. Then take your biggest BUT sentence, write it in your journal, and rewrite it with AND. Watch what it opens. 'I want support, BUT…' — girl, swap it "I want support, AND I'm scared, AND I'm reaching out anyway." That's the move. And that's exactly what we do together! Connect with Lindsey:

What actually helps someone recover from anorexia? After developing anorexia as a teenager, Tiffany Luxford spent approximately two years receiving inpatient treatment. Today, she is fully recovered and using her lived experience to improve how eating disorders are understood and supported. In this episode of Psychology, Actually, Tiffany joins Dr Marianne Trent to share what genuinely helped her recover, what she wishes had been different during treatment, and why compassion, connection and feeling understood matter. Together, they explore the emotional distress behind eating disorders, the role of trauma, control and self-criticism, and why separating the person from the eating disorder can help reduce shame and blame. Whether you have experienced an eating disorder, are supporting someone through recovery or work within mental health services, this conversation offers valuable insight and hope. #AnorexiaRecovery #EatingDisorderRecovery #PsychologyActually Highlights 00:00 Understanding the person behind the eating disorder 01:02 Avoiding triggering imagery and numbers 02:43 Eating disorders are more than physical symptoms 03:31 Understanding distress and control 05:03 Loving food while living with anorexia 06:19 Tiffany's experience of anorexia and inpatient treatment 08:59 How compassion can support recovery 09:14 Separating the person from the eating disorder 10:36 What Tiffany needed during treatment 12:35 The role of trauma 13:33 What full recovery feels like 14:53 Can eating disorder thoughts return? 16:16 Rebuilding a healthier relationship with exercise 17:14 Moving beyond comparison 19:38 Externalising the eating disorder 22:35 Reducing shame and self-blame 23:41 The value of lived experience 25:45 Why recovery stories matter 28:21 Tiffany's TEDx talk and The Recovery Wave 30:07 Final thoughts Links:

Send us Fan MailBex Spiller is the founder of The Anti-Burnout Club and creator of the Right to Recover campaign — joins Ela to talk burnout, workplace culture, and why recovery should be a right, not a luxury.We covered Bex's Burnout StoryBex built a marketing agency from her bedroom at 21, then hit a wall physically and mentally while studying for an MBA in addition to long working hours. A GP eventually named what she'd been feeling: burnout — a word she'd never heard before. That crisis, plus losing her father to stress-related heart disease, led her to start a small blog in 2020 that grew into The Anti-Burnout Club, now used by tens of thousands.We discussed where "Push Yourself" Beliefs Come FromBex traces her own drive back to childhood — poverty, losing her mum young, and feeling she had to prove herself. We discussed how hustle culture, school attendance awards, and even old Protestant beliefs about idleness being sinful have taught us that rest equals laziness — when most "laziness" is really overwhelm or unaddressed struggle.We explained why Individual Wellness Fixes Aren't EnoughYoga and meditation apps, whilst certainly great resources, put the burden of recovery on the individual and ignore root causes (e.g. understaffing and poor management in organisations, overcommitment and complex life circumstance in private lives). Bex now focuses on organisations — training managers to have honest conversations about stress, rather than offering wellness perks as a substitute for real change.Bex explained the Right to Recover CampaignEmployees take 9–11 official sick days a year on average, but "presenteeism" (working while unwell) costs roughly 44 lost productive days per person annually! Bex argues that giving people genuine time to recover is both more humane and better for business — and discusses how mistrust and guilt make it harder for people to ask for rest.We talked about the physical toll of burnoutChronic stress has real physiological effects — weakened immunity, stress-related heart disease, allostatic load. Bex reflects on a funeral where a woman's career barely came up compared to how she lived and loved. The takeaway: systemic change is needed, but individuals can start by knowing their own capacity, having honest conversations, and treating recovery as normal, not a failure.About Bex SpillerBex Spiller is an award-winning burnout speaker, author and changemaker. She's the founder of The Anti-Burnout Club and heads up the Right to Recover campaign, which aims to reduce the number of people working when unwell. Connect with Bex: The Anti Burnout Club (free app available) https://bexspeaks.com/ Support the showPlease reach out if you would like some support with your relationship to food OR movement.

Have you ever noticed how much time we spend trying to recover from life?   Recover from childhood. Recover from relationships. Recover from burnout. Recover from loss. Recover from all the things we wish had gone differently.   Please don't misunderstand me. Healing matters. I've done plenty of it myself, and I know many of you have too. But lately I've been pondering... What if recovery isn't the destination? As my 57th birthday was upon me, I've spent a little more time reflecting, and one thought kept coming back to me. What if life is inviting us into discovery instead of asking us to stay in recovery? In this episode, we're talking about what happens after we've caught our breath. We'll explore why our brains are wired to protect us, why our intuition often whispers long before fear starts shouting, and how Positive Intelligence helps us recognize when our Saboteurs are trying to keep us living in yesterday's story. I'll also share the story of Fortuna, a senior rescue horse who reminded me that recovery comes first...and discovery comes second. Watching her settle into a new environment, find her herd, and become part of an equine therapy program was one of those moments that quietly changed how I see life. We'll talk about curiosity, intuition, the wisdom of our brains, and why I believe spirituality isn't about escaping our humanity. It's about becoming more awake to it. Because maybe the goal isn't to spend our lives fixing ourselves. Maybe it's time to become curious enough to discover who we are now. If you've been carrying the weight of believing you have to heal everything before you're allowed to fully live, I hope you'll join me.   --- As a successful individual, you already possess the drive, but connecting your intuition with the right mindset is crucial to living a truly fulfilling life. My intuitive coaching bridges that gap, guiding you toward clarity and the life you've been striving for. Why go it alone when I can help you harness your inner wisdom and mindset to navigate your path? Ready to step into the life that's waiting for you?  

Do you want to know why despite years of therapy and other healing modalities you still feel guilt, anxiety, you still double-guess yourself and keep on people-pleasing? Do you want to know why you keep feeling stuck and you still get caught in the same patterns even though you have learnt all about them? This is because you are still carrying trauma in your body and talking does not heal trauma. It can help you become aware of it, but that's only the first step. If we remain stuck in talking, or in other tools that only work with rational thinking, we never truly break free. In this episode I share why every client I've worked with came to me feeling broken and defeated despite having tried many different healing modalities, and I share what made the difference. This is what made the difference in my own life too, as a daughter of a narcissistic mother recovering from abuse and trauma in my own body. I also share the price I had to pay before I realised that I needed to go deeper, so you don't have to go through the same pain too. Take the FREE assessment NOW to know which is your main coping pattern

Most of what people know about Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) comes from movies and short videos, and those media portrayals often have little to do with what DID is actually like. To get the real picture, today Forrest is joined by Dr. Milissa Kaufman and Dr. Lauren Lebois, experts in dissociative disorders and trauma research. Dr. Kaufman had DID herself, went through treatment, and made a full recovery.  They explore the spectrum of dissociation, from everyday experiences to clinical presentations like DID, before talking about how DID develops as a childhood adaptation to trauma, the problem with the term “multiple personality disorder,” and what the brain science tells us. Milissa describes her own “inside people,” the shame and secrecy associated with DID, and the slow shift from "that wasn't me" to "that was me all along." They then cover what treatment looks like, what to actually look for in a therapist, and what recovery means. About our Guests: Dr. Milissa Kaufman is a trauma psychiatrist at McLean Hospital and Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Lauren Labois is a cognitive neuroscientist and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. They are co-directors of the Dissociative Disorders and Trauma Research program at McLean Hospital.

Chris Chavez and Preet Majithia are back for a packed episode. With Preet heading to the stadium on Saturday for the London Diamond League and the aftermath of the Monaco Diamond League, there's a lot to discuss:– World Cup check-in: England squeaked through in a stressful Saturday night match that Preet describes as not fun to watch.– CITIUS MAG x New Balance at the 2026 USATF Outdoor Championships– Running's baby boom– Emmanuel Wanyonyi, 1000m world record, 1:11.83: Monaco Diamond League. Broke Noah Ngeny's 27-year-old record of 1:11.96 set in Rieti in 1999. Can he inch closer to David Rudisha's 800m WR in London?– Julien Alfred, 21.51 in the women's 200m: Third-fastest women's 200 in history behind Flo-Jo (21.34) and Shericka Jackson (21.41). Why this one is not a shocker and we're living in the best year of the women's 200m with her, Elaine Thompson-Herah, Gabby, MJW, Shericka, plus Adaejah Hodge.– Collen Kebinatshipi goes 43.44 and is now on the conversation for the men's 400m world record, if he can maybe run the first 200m a bit more aggressively. The dream matchup is still Kebinatshipi vs. Samuel Ogazi.– Masai Russell's dominance: The five fastest women's 100 hurdles times of 2026 all belong to Masai Russell. Off the final hurdle, she sometimes begins to celebrate slightly before the line — that tiny relaxation may be the difference between her and the world record.– Agnes Ngetich runs 8:08.95 for No. 3 all-time in the 3000m, but what's up with Faith Kipyegon?– Graham Blanks showcased his best kick against pros in the 5000m in Monaco, which he nearly won.– More from the Monaco Diamond League– Russia was reinstated by the International Olympic Committee but there is still more to be sorted by Seb Coe and World Athletics' stance to keep Russian and Belarusian athletes out until the war in Ukraine ends– Celebrating records by decades rather than all-time to sidestep the doping era problems– Unpacking Josh Kerr's London mile world record attempt now that the full start list has been revealed. Preet argues that most of the field will just get on the fast train with Yared Nuguse as the potential spoiler if Kerr falters. Chris wants Hobbs Kessler to play spoiler from the gun by fighting for the front early.– The women's 800m has been billed as Keely Hodgkinson's world record attempt for months but it should be framed as a comeback race for the Olympic champion. The field is legitimately dangerous with Georgia Hunter-Bell and Femke Bol.+ More____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSBANDIT: For 2026, Bandit is providing support for any Unsponsored athletes competing at the USATF Outdoor Championships.

With Arsenal preparing to defend their Premier League title, The NN Pod continues its 2026/27 season preview series by asking what now constitutes a successful season for Mikel Arteta's side — and whether winning the Champions League has become the club's final frontier.The hosts discuss expectations for Arsenal's playing style, the challenges posed by a shortened pre-season and the impact of the World Cup on several key players. With Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, William Saliba and others facing demanding workloads, the conversation turns to player management, squad depth and whether Arsenal can protect their biggest stars while remaining competitive from the opening weeks of the season.Attention then shifts to the opportunities available during pre-season, the upcoming friendly schedule and the Community Shield, before a discussion about Cesc Fàbregas and his return to the Emirates with Como develops into a wider debate about his Arsenal legacy — and whether there could ever be a place for him in the dugout.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:55) - What Does a Successful Season Look Like for Arsenal?(02:22) - Is the Champions League Now the Last Frontier?(04:11) - Can Arsenal Evolve Their Playing Style?(05:49) - Will Every Game Be a Cup Final for the Champions?(09:27) - Does Arsenal Need Respect From Rival Fans?(12:05) - Will a Short Pre-Season Hamper Arsenal?(14:49) - Eight Arsenal Players Remain at the World Cup(15:47) - Which Players Could Seize Their Pre-Season Opportunity?(18:26) - Protecting Declan Rice From Himself(20:57) - Managing Saka, Rice & Saliba's Workloads(23:29) - Do Footballers Get Enough Time to Recover?(25:29) - Should International Teams Protect Arsenal's Players?(28:55) - Has the World Cup Helped Martin Ødegaard?(32:27) - Arsenal's Community Shield Selection Dilemma(34:48) - Will Arteta Show More Maturity With Player Management?(36:28) - Arsenal's Pre-Season Fixtures & Games to Watch(39:29) - Cesc Fàbregas Returns to the Emirates(40:48) - The Great Cesc Fàbregas Arsenal Debate(45:35) - Outro & Looking Ahead

Season 16, Episode 402 explores the Brain's Operating System for Human Performance, focusing on Phase 3: movement, adaptation, and performance. Andrea Samadi explains how movement triggers neurochemicals and blood flow, recovery enables adaptation, and measurable performance follows. The episode shows how consistent, purposeful movement plus prioritized recovery creates lasting biological change—improved sleep, lower resting heart rate, higher VO2 max, and clearer thinking—and offers simple strategies to build the movement loop into daily life. EP 402 — Introducing Phase 3 Movement, Adaptation & Performance Watch Andrea teach this episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/Btaihnb5HPs   On EP 402, We'll Cover: Why movement is the missing link in human performance—and why the brain evolved to move before it learned. The Brain's Operating System for Human Performance—how the first three phases connect to create lasting change. The Movement Loop—my new framework explaining how movement leads to adaptation and ultimately performance. The science of adaptation—why the workout isn't what changes you, but the body's response during recovery is. My personal performance experiment—how tracking recovery, resting heart rate, heart rate variability, VO₂ Max, sleep, body composition, and biological age revealed measurable evidence of neuroscience in action. How the world's leading experts helped build this framework—and how their research fits together into one repeatable system. A preview of Phase 3—what you'll learn from Dr. Chuck Hillman, Dr. John Ratey, Kristen Holmes, Dr. John Medina, Jason Whitrock, and the bonus episodes throughout this season. Practical strategies you can begin using immediately to help your brain learn more effectively, your body adapt more efficiently, and your performance improve over time. Opening Welcome back to Season 16 of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I'm Andrea Samadi, and this is where we bridge neuroscience, social and emotional learning, and human performance so we can create measurable improvements in our well-being, achievement, leadership, productivity, and results. Seven years ago, when we launched this podcast, I started with one simple question: If results matter—and they matter now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to create those results? This question stemmed from the fact that very few of us were ever taught how the brain actually learns. How motivation begins. How emotions shape decisions. How relationships influence performance. Or how movement changes the brain. That single question has taken us on an incredible journey through neuroscience, psychology, education, leadership, and human performance. But something unexpected happened along the way. I thought I was collecting interviews. Instead... I discovered that I was uncovering a system. Looking back now, over the past 7 years, I realized every expert was describing the same mountain (or obstacle to overcome) but just from a different side (or with a different strategy). One explained motivation. Another explained attention. Another explained learning. Or repetition. Another explained recovery. Another explained movement. None of them contradicted each other. They completed each other. That was the moment I realized... I wasn't collecting interviews. I was assembling a blueprint. A Personal Discovery But there was still one question I couldn't answer. How would these ideas actually work together in everyday life? Could they work for anyone? Not a pro athlete who has all day to train, but a regular person, like me, who was determined to improve their health, well-being and productivity and results. That's when I stopped being just the interviewer... and participated in the experiment. Over the past year, I wasn't trying to become younger. I think our 50s, 60s and beyond, are an incredible time to practice and perfect our health beyond what we might have been able to do without as much effort in our 40s or younger. Looking back, I can honestly say that I wasn't trying to lower my resting heart rate. It just started to show up in my data when I did certain things, in a certain way. I wasn't trying to improve my WHOOP age (with my wearable device) or optimize my daily recovery score. I was simply trying to answer another question. If movement really changes the brain... Could I actually measure this? Can how much I move improve my data, and can I move too much (push too hard) and measure that as well? So I began paying much closer attention to my own data, and looking at what it meant. Not because I wanted better numbers. Well I did want better numbers, but I also wanted evidence. Something that could be replicated for others. There's lots of ways to measure our data with wearable devices. I used the Whoop wearable, something I have been wearing for the past 5 years. I was focused on my daily recovery. My resting heart rate. Heart rate variability. VO₂ Max. Sleep (specifically how much stress I had while sleeping), REM sleep, and restorative sleep. Body composition (how much fat and how much muscle) Then I looked at my hiking performance (did I need to run fast with a weighted vest to get zone 4 and 5), or could I walk along the canal with my dogs, and get my heart rate up that high without having to drive to the mountain. I looked at how high my heart rate went up with strength training. Week after week... Month after month... A pattern began to emerge. The improvements weren't random. They were connected. When I moved consistently...some easier workouts walking with one or two harder push hiking days, with some days at the gym on the stair climber, and others on the elliptical. My recovery improved. My resting heart rate dropped. My biological age became younger. My body became stronger. My mind became clearer. Long hikes felt easier. The numbers weren't the story. Adaptation was. For the first time, I wasn't just reading neuroscience week after week. I was watching it happen inside my own body. And that's when something clicked. Movement starts the change. Recovery allows the change. Adaptation becomes the change. And performance is simply the evidence that the change occurred. That realization became the foundation for everything you're about to hear this season. The Brain's Operating System As I reviewed hundreds of conversations with world-leading researchers over the past seven years, I realized these ideas weren't isolated discoveries. They fit together. Like pieces of one much larger puzzle. Today, I call that framework... The Brain's Operating System for Human Performance. It's built on five interconnected phases. Each one depends on the one before it. Phase 1 — Regulation & Safety[i] Before the brain can learn... it must first feel safe. Phase 2 — Neurochemistry & Motivation Meaning creates motivation. Motivation creates action. Action begins change. Phase 3 — Movement, Adaptation & Performance Movement changes the brain. Adaptation changes the body. Together they create lasting performance. Phase 4 — Perception & Social Intelligence Understanding ourselves. Understanding others. Building trust. Strengthening relationships. Phase 5 — Integration & Meaning Where knowledge becomes wisdom. Experience becomes insight. Performance becomes purpose. Performance doesn't begin at the finish line. It begins with the foundations. And every phase strengthens the next. Why Phase 3 Matters For decades we've treated learning as though it happens inside classrooms... inside books... inside meetings... inside our heads. But evolution tells a very different story. The brain didn't evolve to sit still. It evolved to move. Movement came first. Learning followed. Every step we take increases blood flow. Releases powerful neurochemicals like BDNF. Sharpens attention. Improves executive function. Creates the biological conditions for learning. Movement isn't simply exercise. It's the input that begins one of the most remarkable biological cycles in the human body. The Power of Loops I had to create another loop to show how this works. Nature rarely works in straight lines. Our hearts beat in rhythms. Our lungs breathe in cycles. Sleep follows repeating stages. The seasons repeat. Life itself is built on loops. Human performance is no different. The greatest mistake we've made is thinking performance is a destination. Or an end result that we will celebrate when we get there. Neuroscience shows us it's actually a cycle. One that repeats every single day. I call it... The Movement Loop. One of the biggest shifts I've made while building this framework is changing the way I think about exercise. Most of us think the workout is the goal. Or we think “I've got to go the gym” and I'm not sure about you, but my old way of thinking used to be something along the lines of “to burn fat, or calories, or so I can create a deficit with the workout.” But Neuroscience—and exercise physiology—tell us something very different. The workout is only the beginning. Think of it by looking at the movement loop. Movement is the Input Every system begins with an input. For our bodies, that input is movement. Whether it's a walk around the neighborhood, a strength-training session, a yoga class, or a hike in the mountains, movement sends a message to the brain and body. It says: "Something is being asked of you." The brain responds immediately. Blood flow increases. Attention sharpens. Neurochemicals like BDNF are released. The nervous system begins preparing for change. Movement isn't what changes us. Movement is what tells the body that change is needed. Adaptation is the Process This is where the real transformation happens. Not while we're exercising. But afterward. During recovery. While we sleep. While proteins rebuild muscle. While neural pathways strengthen. While the cardiovascular system becomes more efficient. While the brain reorganizes itself through neuroplasticity. Adaptation is the body's remarkable ability to respond to the demands we've placed upon it. If we repeat the right inputs consistently, the body doesn't simply recover. It becomes more capable. This is why recovery isn't the opposite of growth. Recovery is the process that makes growth possible. Performance is the Output Performance is simply the visible result of this successful adaptation. It's thinking more clearly during an important meeting. Remembering information more easily. Feeling stronger day to day. Recovering faster after stress. Leading with greater confidence. Sleeping more deeply. Seeing your resting heart rate decline. Watching your VO₂ Max improve. Noticing your biological age become younger. Performance isn't one great day. Or one workout. It's the evidence that your brain and body have adapted over time to your repeated efforts. Then the Cycle Begins Again The beautiful part is that the process never ends. Today's performance becomes tomorrow's starting point. As you become more capable, your brain and body are ready for the next challenge. So you move again. You recover again. You adapt again. You perform at an even higher level. This is why I call it The Movement Loop. It's not a one-time event. It's a lifelong cycle of growth. Every walk. Every workout. Every good night's sleep. Every recovery day. Every healthy habit. You're sending your brain and body another message: "I'm becoming a little more capable than yesterday." That's how sustainable human performance is built. Not through one extraordinary effort. But through thousands of ordinary repetitions that, over time, create extraordinary results. Movement The body moves. The brain responds. ↓ Brain Activation Blood flow increases. BDNF and other neurochemicals are released. The brain becomes ready to learn. ↓ Attention Executive function improves. Focus sharpens. Mental readiness increases. ↓ Learning New neural pathways strengthen through repetition and experience. Knowledge becomes skill. ↓ Recovery Sleep, regulation, and restoration allow the brain and body to rebuild. Recovery isn't the opposite of growth. Recovery is what makes growth possible. ↓ Adaptation The nervous system becomes more efficient. The cardiovascular system becomes stronger. Metabolism improves. The brain becomes more resilient. The body becomes more capable. ↓ Performance Performance isn't a single event. It's a capacity. The ability to think clearly. Learn faster. Recover better. Move more efficiently. Lead with greater confidence. ↓ Confidence Success reinforces belief. Belief increases motivation. Confidence encourages us to move again. And the cycle repeats. The Movement Loop doesn't end with performance. Performance creates confidence. Confidence inspires more movement. And every repetition builds a stronger brain and a stronger body. Throughout this phase we'll explore every step of this loop with some of the world's leading experts.   Movement changes the brain. Adaptation changes the body. Performance changes your life.   The Experts EP 403 — Dr. Chuck Hillman & Paul Zientarski Movement is the Trigger We'll discover why exercise is one of the most powerful ways to prepare the brain for learning through BDNF, executive function, cognition, and academic performance. Key takeaway: Every adaptation begins with movement.   EP 404 — Dr. John Ratey The Brain Adapts We'll revisit the groundbreaking work from his book Spark to understand how exercise literally rewires the brain through neuroplasticity and prepares us for learning. Key takeaway: Exercise changes the brain before it changes performance. EP 405 — Kristen Holmes Adaptation Happens During Recovery We'll explore why sleep, recovery, nervous system regulation, and capacity building determine whether the body actually adapts. This is also where I'll share my own WHOOP data—including recovery trends, resting heart rate, and biological age—to show how adaptation becomes measurable. Key takeaway: Recovery builds capacity. Consistency creates adaptation. EP 406 — Dr. John Medina Learning Creates Better Performance Attention, memory, and learning science come together to explain how movement-supported learning becomes real-world performance. Key takeaway: What we learn shapes how we perform. EP 407 — Jason Whitrock Adaptation Changes the Body We'll explore metabolic health, brain energy, body composition, VO₂ Max, and performance capacity while connecting the neuroscience of movement with measurable physiological adaptation. This is where I'll bring together my own data on muscle gain, fat loss, cardiovascular fitness, and healthy aging. Key takeaway: Movement changes the brain. Adaptation changes the body. Together they transform performance. Bonus Episodes Throughout Phase 3 I'll also be sharing several bonus episodes using my own health data as a living case study. We'll explore: Why recovery is built—not found (so we need to build it into our day strategically). The story behind my resting heart rate. How adaptation changed my body. How it works when you Move Today so you can become Younger Tomorrow. Restorative Sleep Sleep Stress These episodes connect neuroscience to real-world data and show what happens when consistent habits become measurable biological change. Because neuroscience isn't just something we study. It's something we can measure. It's something we can experience. And ultimately... it's something we can use to become healthier... stronger... more resilient... and more capable throughout every stage of life. Key Takeaways for Today Movement is the input. (what we do) Every meaningful change begins with movement. It prepares the brain for learning by increasing blood flow, oxygen, and neurochemicals like BDNF that support attention, learning, and neuroplasticity. The actions we choose every day that provide the brain and body with a stimulus for change. Movement Exercise Walking Strength training Recovery habits Nutrition Sleep Adaptation is the process. The workout doesn't change you. Your body's response during recovery does. Every period of quality sleep, recovery, and restoration is an opportunity for your brain and body to become stronger and more efficient.          Adaptation — What Happens         The brain and body respond to those inputs by becoming more efficient and more capable. Neuroplasticity Increased BDNF Stronger neural pathways Improved cardiovascular fitness Muscle repair and growth Better metabolic health Nervous system regulation Performance is the output. High performance isn't something we find—it's something we build. Every repetition of the Movement Loop increases your capacity to learn, lead, recover, and perform.           Output — The Result          The measurable improvements we experience because of adaptation. Better focus Faster learning Higher energy Greater resilience Lower resting heart rate Improved VO₂ Max Better body composition Higher performance Greater healthspan What gets measured becomes visible. Tracking meaningful metrics—such as recovery, resting heart rate, VO₂ Max, sleep, or body composition—helps you see adaptations that would otherwise go unnoticed and reinforces the habits creating them. Your brain and body are one interconnected system. Better thinking, stronger physical health, emotional resilience, and sustained performance all emerge from the same biological process of movement, adaptation, and continuous growth.   Tips to Implement This Week ✓ Move with purpose every day. Aim for 30–60 minutes of purposeful movement—whether it's a brisk walk, strength training, cycling, yoga, or hiking. Remember, consistency matters more than intensity. Every movement is a signal to your brain and body to adapt. A walk after dinner, when kept consistent, can have an incredible impact on your overall health improvement. You don't need to go all out for results to show up. Start paying attention to your body's signals. You don't need a WHOOP or smartwatch to begin. Simply notice how you feel before and after movement. Ask yourself: Do I think more clearly? Is my mood better? Do I have more energy? Am I sleeping better? Your body is always giving you feedback. Learn to listen. ✓ Protect your recovery. Treat tonight's sleep as part of today's workout. Prioritize restorative sleep, manage stress, and allow your brain and body the time they need to repair, rebuild, and become stronger. We are all at different stages here. This one is always a work in progress for me. I ran into someone I used to see every Saturday on the hiking trails this morning, and I asked him where he had been, or if he was hiking at a different time. I used to see him like clockwork and I noticed he wasn't there as usual. He told me that he was protecting his sleep, and worked out indoors more when the weather was getting hot. In order to beat the heat in AZ, early mornings are the best time for this, but this guy knew to protect his recovery. I thought it was brilliant that he was able to practice what he knew to be important. ✓ Measure one meaningful metric. Choose one health measure—such as your resting heart rate, sleep quality, daily steps, recovery score, or VO₂ Max—and observe how it changes over time. You're not looking for perfection; you're looking for patterns that reveal adaptation. I'll share what I noticed over time on our bonus episodes by watching certain metrics. This has been one of my biggest discoveries. For years I assumed harder was always better. But when I compared my data…you can see 2 of my data charts in the show notes. I found something surprising. A long hike and a morning walk created very different responses. My hikes pushed my cardiovascular system into higher heart-rate zones. My walks kept me primarily in Zone 1 while reducing stress and supporting recovery. Both improved my health. They simply trained different systems. Instead of asking… “Was today's workout hard enough?” Ask… “What system am I training today?” ✓ Move before you think. Before beginning a challenging project, studying for an exam, or making an important decision, spend five to ten minutes moving your body. Then notice how your focus, mood, creativity, and mental clarity improve. ✓ Think in loops, not isolated workouts. Instead of asking, "Did I exercise today?" ask yourself: "How did I support tomorrow's brain today?" Every walk. Every workout. Every healthy meal. Every recovery day. Every night of restorative sleep. Each one is another step around the Movement Loop—helping your brain learn, your body adapt, and your performance improve over time. Review & Conclusion Review and Conclude EP 402, Phase 3: Movement, Adaptation & Performance. As we close today, I hope you're (like I did) beginning to see movement differently. Not simply as exercise. Or to burn calories. Not simply as another item on your to-do list. But as the biological signal that tells your brain and body it's time to grow. Throughout Phase 3, we'll discover that movement does far more than strengthen muscles. It sharpens attention. It accelerates learning. It builds resilience. It strengthens the nervous system. It improves recovery. And over time, it transforms both the brain and the body through the remarkable process of adaptation. This season isn't about becoming an elite athlete. It's about becoming someone who understands how lasting performance is built. Together, we'll explore one simple but powerful truth: Movement is the input (what we do) Adaptation is the process (what happens when we do it) Performance is the output (what we get from doing it) Then the cycle begins again. That's the Movement Loop. Every walk. Every workout. Every night of restorative sleep. Every healthy choice. Every recovery day. Each one is another opportunity to build a stronger brain, a healthier body, and a greater capacity to learn, lead, and perform. Because when movement changes the brain... the brain changes the body. And when the brain and body begin working together... performance is no longer something we chase. It's something we build— one movement, one recovery, one adaptation, one day at a time. Next week, we'll begin our journey around the Movement Loop with EP 403, revisiting Dr. Chuck Hillman and Paul Zientarski, where we'll discover why every lasting transformation begins with movement—and why a single step today can change the trajectory of our brain, our health, and our performance tomorrow. Thank you for joining me, and I'll see you next week.

Have you ever poured your heart into an idea, only to watch it fall flat?Maybe you set up the page, wrote the emails, built the offer, opened the calendar, and gave it your best.And still, nothing happened.In this episode, I'm talking about what to do with a failed dream and how to keep going when something you hoped for does not pan out.I share honestly about my own graveyard of dreams: books that did not sell, writing workshops that barely took off, a merch business that went nowhere, and ideas I really believed in that simply did not work.It is painful to experience a failed dream. When a dream comes up short, it can make you question yourself.It can make you wonder if you heard God wrong, missed something important, or maybe just do not have what it takes.But I do not believe failure has to be the end of the story.Sometimes, the thing that did not work becomes the very thing that teaches you what to do next.In this episode, I walk through three things to consider when you're staring down a failed dream.I know what it feels like to try and feel like you came up short.But I also know that regret is heavier than trying and failing.So if you have it in you, I hope you get up again.I hope you try again.I hope you dream again.Your failed dream may not be the end.It may be a pointer to what comes next.Thanks for being here!

Sis, I'm coming at you with some serious tough love today, because I'm about to call you out on the story you've been telling yourself about your journey. If you've been walking around asking "Why me? Why do I have to deal with this? Why do I even bother trying to recover?" — this episode is your wake-up call. Because I'm about to flip that victim script and hand you the question that changes everything. I just got off a coaching call with a client who's stepping into a whole new identity away from the eating disorder voice, and it lit a fire in me. So buckle up, grab your  journal, and get ready to shift from poor me thinking to powerful me living in the next 15 minutes. The story: You wake up and the first thought in your head is about food, your body, your weight. You spend your days calculating, restricting, obsessing — then beating yourself up for all of it. And somewhere in that mental chaos, the questions start: Why me? Why can't I just eat normally like everyone else? What if I'm the exception? What if I'm just too far gone? Here's the truth I need you to hear loud and clear: you are writing yourself as the victim in your own life story — and then getting mad that you're playing the victim role. You're taking clips from your journey — the hard days, the setbacks, the fears — and making them mean you're doomed. But your thinking is driving your entire life. So let me ask you, girl… how's that working out for you? The facts: 60–70% of people with eating disorders make a full recovery (National Eating Disorder Association) With proper treatment, recovery rates can reach as high as 80% (Journal of Clinical Medicine) People who believe in their ability to recover are significantly more likely to achieve full recovery — and women who reframe their eating disorder as something they're overcoming rather than something they have show better outcomes The majority of women struggling with exactly what you're struggling with right now? They get better. They don't just manage symptoms — they become free. So here's my question: if most women recover… why not you? What "why me?" is really doing for you Here's the uncomfortable truth: that question isn't really about seeking understanding. It's about staying comfortable in an identity that keeps you feeling safe. When you ask "why me?" you get to stay stuck without taking responsibility. You get to avoid the scary. You get to keep the mask on that the eating disorder thrives off of. I'm not judging you — I asked every one of those questions myself. "My eating disorder is different. I've had it longer. It's more severe. I've tried everything." Sis, I said all of it. And every single woman I've ever worked with thought she was the exception too. You know what happened when they stopped playing the victim in their own story? They became the hero. As 1 Corinthians 10:13 says: "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind." Your struggle isn't unique. Your pain isn't special. And your recovery isn't just possible — it's probable. Same facts, different story The facts of your life don't change. But the story you tell about them? That's 100% your choice. "I have an eating disorder" → could mean I'm ready to heal "Recovery is hard" → could mean I'm doing something brave "I'm scared of gaining weight" → could mean I'm about to break through my biggest fear Right now, your default identity is "the woman with the eating disorder." Every morning your brain boots up like a computer running that operating system — so of course the disordered thoughts come first. That's your default setting. But what if you changed the default to recovery warrior? A recovery warrior doesn't ask "why me?" She asks "why not me?" She doesn't say "I can't do this." She says "I'm doing this." She doesn't make herself the victim of her story. She makes herself the hero. As Romans 8:37 reminds you: you are more than a conqueror. Decide in advance Here's the real truth: when I went through my recovery, I wasn't ready. I didn't raise my hand one day feeling prepared. I had to decide I wasn't going to do this to myself anymore. So decide in advance that you're going to recover. Not I hope — but I get to. Not maybe — but I will. Your homework: Write this down today — "I am a woman who is recovering, and recovery is my new identity in this season." And every morning when your brain boots into default mode, interrupt the pattern: "That's not who I am anymore. I'm a warrior now — and recovery warriors don't think like that." When you change your thoughts, you change your identity. When you change your identity, you change your story — and the entire direction of your life. Maybe even a generational change in your family. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You're not broken. You're not too far gone. You're not the exception to the statistics." "The women who recover aren't special, stronger, or smarter than you. They just decided." "Stop making yourself the exception and start making yourself the example." "Your eating disorder has had you for years — it doesn't get to have your future." "You are one decision away from changing your entire life trajectory." "Keep choosing recovery one decision at a time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“You just have to have that confidence in anything you do. That was the biggest thing that had driven me… Having that extreme level of confidence and delusion. You want it to seem hard, but you don't want it to seem impossible.”My guest for today's episode is Marco Langon, the 21-year-old distance runner out of the state of New Jersey who just finished his career at Villanova and signed a professional contract with Diodora. He made his pro debut at the Pre Classic and is currently in Germany as he gets started on his European circuit tour.His resume is strong from his four years at Villanova. He ran a personal best of 3:32 in the 1500m, 7:34 in the 3K, and 13:05 in the 5K, all which put him in the top four in NCAA history. He was at the center of some of the most dramatic finishes of the past season: He dove at the finish line in his duel against Habtom Samuel at BU, and he anchored Villanova to the 4xmile title at Penn Relays after some hotly contested back to back days against Oregon and their anchor, Simeon Birnbaum.His story is pretty impactful. He grew up watching his mom, a lunch lady, navigate a divorce and make ends meet for him and his sister on a single income, and he was stocking shelves in a convenience store freezer while in high school, crying because he knew that that couldn't be his life. He's someone who has been committed to exploring how good he can be at this sport because it could lead to him providing for his family.He signed with Diadora specifically because they took a chance on him before anyone else did when he signed his NIL deal. His personality is not one that necessarily fits into some of the bigger brands marketing strategy and he's quick to admit that himself. So, in this chat, we get into all of that from the moments in that QuickCheck freezer that made the dream feel urgent, his full ride to Villanova, what he's taking from coach Marcus O'Sullivan and what they also butted heads on, the Penn Relays anchor that he describes as the most relieved he's ever felt rather than the happiest, the 1500m versus 5K debate that he's still processing, and what he's looking forward to in his first season as a pro.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavezGuest: Marco Langon | @marcolangonProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSBANDIT: For 2026, Bandit is providing support for any Unsponsored athletes competing at the USATF Outdoor Championships.

Chris Chavez, Kyle Merber and Preet Majithia recap all of the major action at the 2026 Prefontaine Classic. Streaks ended, young stars arrived, and the whole distance-and-sprint order got shaken up in a single afternoon in Eugene.Discussed in this episode:– Tate Taylor wins the men's 200m in 19.75 into a -0.9 headwind: The biggest surprise of the meet. Tebogo was the overwhelming favorite. We discuss why it's different from the Gout Gout 19.67. Taylor confirmed he will not be running USAs, and the World U20 Championships in Eugene in August is now the most anticipated junior sprint matchup of the year.– Nikki Hiltz wins the mile in 4:17.49: Ends Faith Kipyegon's five-year, 24-race unbeaten streak in 1500m/mile events on the track, dating to a loss to Sifan Hassan in Florence on June 10, 2021. – This was not peak Faith Kipyegon; Faith posted on Instagram after: “Since Shanghai, I've been dealing with a hamstring injury, but the last two weeks have been a step in the right direction.”– Cam Myers wins the Bowerman Mile in 3:46.06: First Australian to win the Bowerman Mile. Six days after running 3:28.00 in Paris, he sat in, took control at 600m, and closed the final 100 in 13.1 — the fastest of the race. Yared Nuguse second. Ethan Strand third in 3:46.97 after being well back at the bell.– Kyle's argument: please stop making athletes announce signings right before major races.– Josh Kerr, London Diamond League, July 18th: Ten days out from his world record attempt. He's been living in his altitude tent for twelve hours a day, writing for The Telegraph, and posting workouts that Kyle described as “giving serious hope”– Lilian Odira beats Keely Hodgkinson in the women's 800m, 1:56.19 to 1:56.73.– World record watch for London: Keely's situation two weeks out makes any WR talk look ambitious. She's still on the start list.– Melissa Jefferson-Wooden beats Sha'Carri Richardson in the women's 100m, 10.78 to 10.79: MJW extends her unbeaten 100m streak to ten races since the Paris Olympic final.– Sha'Carri's start looked better than it has at points this season. She's firmly back.– Kayinsola Ajayi wins the men's 100m in 9.84: Beats world champion Oblique Seville (9.89). Ties his PB and national record. A college kid finishing an NCAA season and immediately beating the world champion validates the performance.– Jamal Britt wins the men's 110m hurdles over Ja'kobe Tharp: Kyle's call from the preview episode vindicated.____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez⁠⁠⁠ + Preet Majithia | ⁠⁠⁠⁠@preet_athletics⁠⁠⁠⁠ + Kyle Merber | @kylemerberProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSBANDIT: For 2026, Bandit is providing support for any Unsponsored athletes competing at the USATF Outdoor Championships.

It's Tuesday morning. The fireworks are done, the cooler is empty, and somewhere between the cookout and the long weekend you lost your routine. The scale is up. You feel bloated and sluggish and like you undid everything you've been working toward.And the thought that keeps coming back is: I'll start fresh Monday. Or I'll start in Aug. Or September...Here's what I need you to hear before anything else: you did not undo your progress. You had a holiday weekend. Those are two completely different things. And "I'll start Monday" is the single most common way women lose weeks, and sometimes months, to a four-day holiday.In this episode, I'm giving you the exact reset protocol to get back on track today, and I'm talking about why the Monday reset pattern keeps so many women stuck in a cycle they can't seem to break.You'll learn:Why the scale is up after a holiday weekend, and why it's almost certainly not what you think it isThe real reason "starting Monday" is working against you, and the pattern it reinforces every single timeFive specific things you can do today, right now, to re-anchor to your habits and send your brain the signal that you're backWhy eating light all day to "make up for" the weekend is setting you up for the same spiral all over againHow a 20-minute workout today is worth more than a perfect week that starts on MondayWhy the women who bounce back fastest after a disruption almost always do this one thing within 24 hoursYou are not starting over. You are continuing. There is a difference.The summer is still very much here. What you do today is what matters.Join us in the Inspire Fitness program: Use the link here: https://inspirehw.com/ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit.nutritionist?igsh=MTJqZXhjODR2ZzduaA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Casey.Young.RD.CPT?mibextid=LQQJ4d

I've become more convinced than ever that the secret to a great trip isn't the destination... it's the expectations we bring with us.Most vacations don't unravel because of bad weather, delayed flights, or even the occasional wrong turn. They struggle because everyone arrives with a different picture in their mind of what the "perfect vacation" should look like. One person wants adventure. Another wants rest. One wants to see everything. Another just wants to sit by the water. Neither is wrong, they're simply different.The same principle is true in our relationships. Conflict often begins when we spend more time trying to control the situation than being flexible. Healthy relationships leave room for different personalities, different preferences, and different ways of enjoying life. They require self-awareness to recognize our own expectations and clear communication to express them. It means being curious to understand someone else's perspective, along with the willingness to be uncomfortable when things don't go exactly as we planned.This week's episode of our Relationshifts podcast explores how to have a fun and successful vacation and more importantly, how to apply that to our relationships.Whether you're traveling this summer or simply navigating everyday life, this conversation will help you enjoy both your vacation and those you care about a little more.When we shift from controlling the experience to managing our expectations, it will make a difference in our vacations and our relationships.

In this tenth episode in our series on Winning Every Living Day™, we are now deep in the Fire Horse Energy of Intense Challenges and potential Transformations. In this time of awareness, when we can let go of everything that no longer serves us and step into and transform into our new self, ready to embrace our authentic and newer way of being, I was reminded that sometimes life challenges us to reframe our circumstances! As parents, there is nothing that we care about more than the safety and well-being of our children! However, that is not always guaranteed, and sometimes unexpected circumstances occur that completely throw us off guard. How do we respond and how can we help ourselves and other parents who experience similar events.

Halftime 2026. Remember, halftime isn't the end of the game—it's where iconic coaches, leaders, and champions make adjustments. It's where winning teams regroup, refocus, and come charging out of the tunnel with a renewed fire. Maybe the first half of your year has been incredible. Maybe it's been one of the toughest seasons of your life. Or maybe it's been somewhere in between. Wherever you find yourself today, hear me loud and clear...the game is NOT over. You still have six months to create breakthrough and end 2026 in epic fashion. Six months to strengthen your faith. Six months to improve your health. Six months to restore relationships. Six months to chase the dream God placed on your heart. Six months to become the person you're truly called to be. In this special Halftime Episode, I'm sharing the 5-biggest reflections I'm personally walking through, along with 10-powerful questions that challenged me deeply. My prayer is that they challenge you too. Don't just listen to this episode...pause, reflect, answer the questions, and then go take action. Because the best may still be ahead of you. In this episode, you'll discover: Why every great comeback begins by honestly reviewing the scoreboard. How gratitude builds confidence and why celebrating your wins is essential for sustained growth. Why championship seasons always include losses—and how to transform pain into purpose instead of letting setbacks define you. The simple adjustments that can dramatically change your next six months. Why small daily disciplines truly become the "small hinges that swing big doors." How to evaluate your faith, family, fitness, finances, fun, and leadership at halftime. The importance of dreaming again, believing again, praying again, and stepping boldly into what God is calling you to do. 10 soul-punching questions that will challenge your heart, sharpen your focus, and help you finish 2026 stronger than you started. What it really means to stop surviving...and start playing to WIN the second half. The truth is this...the scoreboard at halftime doesn't determine the final outcome. Championships are won because someone chooses to make adjustments. Someone decides to believe again. Someone gets back up after being knocked down. Someone renews their faith, recommits to the process, and refuses to quit. That someone can be YOU. As you reflect on the first half of the year, don't waste this opportunity. Recover. Refocus. Reignite. Give yourself permission to celebrate what God has already done, learn from every setback, make the adjustments you know you need to make, and attack the second half with everything you've got. Your story is still being written. The best version of you is still waiting to emerge. And remember...the best is NOT behind you. The best is yet to come. If this episode challenged or encouraged you, I'd love to hear from you. Share it with a friend, post it on social media, and tag me so I can see who's committed to making the second half of 2026 their strongest yet.

They talk strength training, running volume, recovery, race planning, periodization, and how athletes can stop chasing every race peak and start building toward bigger jumps next season.This episode also covers Worlds takeaways, controversial judging moments, burpees, lunges, wall balls, and why smart off-season training can separate athletes who improve by seconds from athletes who improve by minutes.5 Timestamp Highlights:00:00 — Intro + Worlds Catch-UpRich and Ryan open with travel stories, post-race fatigue, and the shift into full off-season mode.06:40 — Why Off-Season MattersThe guys explain why stepping back from race-specific HYROX training can lead to bigger long-term gains.07:37 — Strength Training for HYROXRyan breaks down his squat-focused strength block and how to build durability without wrecking recovery.13:30 — Running Less, Training SmarterA discussion on replacing some easy runs with low-impact machines to show up fresher for key sessions.41:19 — Race Planning + Peak TimingWhy athletes should stop trying to be race-ready all year and instead build toward the races that matter most.

“A big part of it was finding the right environment, the right people, and the right team that I was excited to be a part of.”My guest for today's episode is someone we've had a great joy of watching develop from high school through the collegiate ranks. Gary Martin is now a professional runner. He's signing with Brooks and joining the Brooks Beasts, and it feels like it was just yesterday that we were sitting down with him at the Armory after his New Balance Nationals mile victory.For those who've been following along with CITIUS over the last couple of years, you know that Gary is an athlete that we've propped up and he's even written for CITIUS MAG. So now, four years later after competing for the University of Virginia, his resume speaks for itself. He has a 3:48 mile PB from the Millrose Games (second fastest in collegiate history), he has an ACC cross country title, and a DMR national championship.In this conversation, we get into why he chose the Beasts, what he asked Danny Mackey about in his first meeting with him, the move to Seattle, the training progression in college, and the self-belief that will suit him as a professional runner. Plus, we also get into what his hopes and expectations are for his pro debut this weekend in the Bowerman Mile at the Prefontaine Classic.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez⁠⁠⁠⁠ Guest: Gary Martin | @gary.martin20Produced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSBANDIT: For 2026, Bandit is providing support for any Unsponsored athletes competing at the USATF Outdoor Championships.

Hi Friend, today we're talking about something that's incredibly close to my heart: healing. Whether you're recovering from surgery, healing from an injury, navigating illness, moving through grief, burnout, or simply trying to feel like yourself again, I hope this episode reminds you that healing is never about perfection. It's about giving yourself the time, grace, and nourishment your body deserves. Over the past few weeks, I've been reminded just how extraordinary the human body really is. I recently underwent hip surgery, and while I intentionally kept much of my recovery private, I spent that quiet time doing what I've always done best: learning, reflecting, cooking, and listening to my body. As a classically trained chef I believe food is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves. It can't replace a great surgeon, physical therapist, or medical care, but it can provide the building blocks our bodies need to repair, recover, and regain strength. Every meal is an opportunity to nourish ourselves from the inside out. Today, I'm sharing the healing foods that filled my kitchen during recovery and the science behind why they matter. We'll talk about protein, leafy greens, berries, sweet potatoes, ginger, turmeric, bone broth, healthy fats, hydration, and simple meals that are comforting, nourishing, and easy to make. I'll also share a few lessons this season has taught me about slowing down, accepting help, and finding gratitude in the smallest moments. If this episode resonates with you, I hope you'll share it with someone who needs a little encouragement today. Maybe it's a friend recovering from surgery, a parent caring for a loved one, someone feeling burned out, or simply someone who could use the reminder that healing takes time and they're not alone. So make yourself a cup of tea, take a deep breath, and let's spend a little time together. This is an episode about nourishing your body, honoring your resilience, and remembering that every small act of care is a step toward healing.

In near-perfect conditions following a week of brutal French heat, Sunday's Paris Diamond League produced three Diamond League records.In this episode:– Audrey Werro came to Paris explicitly targeting the women's 800m world record and ran a personal best of 1:53.80 — a Diamond League record, meet record, world lead, and Swiss national record. She's now the only woman ever with multiple sub-1:54 performances (three of them, all this season). The world record is 1:53.28, set by Jarmila Kratochvílová in 1983. Werro is 0.52 back.– Femke Broeders-Bol's 800m transition is real. The reigning 400m hurdles world champion ran 1:55.60 in the 800m — a massive personal best — finishing second behind Werro's Diamond League record. Her move to the 800m is no longer an experiment.– Cam Myers ran 3:28.00 in the Paris Diamond League 1500m — a personal best by over a second, the 27th fastest time in history, and faster than Jakob Ingebrigtsen at the same age (Jakob ran 3:28.68 at 20). Myers beat a field that included 3:27 man Azeddine Habz and 2025 World Championship medalists Jake Wightman and Reynold Cheruiyot– What it all means for the Bowerman Mile at the Prefontaine Classic– Grant Fisher won the Paris Diamond League 5000m in 12:54.80, edging Jacob Krop (12:55.22) and Andreas Almgren (12:55.38) in a stacked field where ten athletes broke 13:00. The win also marked the fifth Diamond League victory by an American men's mid-distance runner in 2026 — the most ever in a single year, with seven meets still remaining.– Marco Arop dominates the men's 800m. He confirmed after the race that he intends to go for the record this year: “Clearly I'm in shape for it”– Trayvon Bromell beats Noah Lyles and there's Twitter comments afterward by the Olympic champion– Jamal Britt runs 12.89 PB in Paris — his 10th win of 2026, his 12th meet since April– Collen Kebinatshipi runs 43.54 Diamond League record in Paris. + More highlights and shout-outs from around the running world including Western States.____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez⁠⁠ + Preet Majithia | ⁠⁠⁠@preet_athletics⁠⁠⁠ + Mac Fleet | @macfleetProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSBANDIT: For 2026, Bandit is providing support for any Unsponsored athletes competing at the USATF Outdoor Championships.
