Podcasts about unbreakable runner

Your breath is intimately linked with every aspect of your health – from how you respond to stress to how efficiently your body burns fat. While most of us breathe over 20,000 times a day, few of us pay attention to this automatic process. But it may hold the key to transforming our physical and mental wellbeing. Today's returning guest is the wonderful Brian Mackenzie, Founder & Creative Director of SHIFT, President of The Health and Human Performance Foundation and a world renowned human performance specialist who combines breathing techniques, movement practices, and stress adaptation training to enhance physical and mental performance.    His methods have been used by Olympic athletes, professional sports teams and military special forces and Brian's work has undergone rigorous scientific testing at institutions including Stanford University School of Medicine and San Francisco State University. He is also the author of several books including, Unbreakable Runner, Power Speed Endurance and Unplugged. In this fascinating conversation, we explore: Why breathing is "the remote control to the nervous system" and how becoming aware of our breath patterns can help us instantly regulate our stress responses  The relationship between the way that we breathe and our ability to burn fat The "Five Gear Breathing System" that matches our breathing technique to different activity levels, from relaxed walking to high-intensity exercise Why nasal breathing (while beneficial at rest and low intensities) might limit our performance and oxygen use during higher-intensity activities How a simple daily 45-minute walk with nasal breathing can transform our metabolism, stress resilience and mental clarity The three-stage stress response cycle and how breathwork provides a practical tool to interrupt our automatic reactions to daily triggers Why Brian believes finding joy in mundane tasks like washing dishes is possible when we focus on the process rather than constantly chasing outcomes Practical techniques to establish healthier boundaries with work, technology and stress – including Brian's approach to shutting off work by 4-5 pm and using red light in the evenings to improve sleep Brian is a remarkable individual, with an enviable track record of transforming the wellbeing and performance of a wide range of individuals, and this conversation is full of practical insights that you can utilise immediately to improve your health, performance and the overall quality of your life.

Join us as Brian Mackenzie shares his groundbreaking insights on the importance of breath in managing stress and optimizing performance. Learn about the pivotal role that breath assessment plays in understanding your body's CO2 levels and how it impacts your nervous system and overall health. Brian explains how mastering your breath can enhance your VO2Max, ultimately leading to improved physical and mental resilience. Key Points   ✅ Breath can hold the key to improve VO2Max and optimal recovery and performance  ✅ This simple breath assessment indicates how sensitive we are to CO2, where our nervous system is, and how reactive we are to stress. ✅ Our breath responds to the energy needs of our bodies - via our nervous system - every moment of our lives. By measuring the time of our exhale, we can gain insight into how the deepest parts of our body cope with stress Brian Mackenzie Brian is a health human performance specialist with more than two decades experience of innovating new protocols for research, and for training Coaches, Olympians, Professional Athletes, Entrepreneurs, Musicians, Actors, High Performers and everyday people on the use of biological tools to achieve maximum output in training, performance and recovery through understand physiology.

Die Folge für alle, die länger schneller laufen und Radfahren wollen, beständiger Fußball oder – vor allem – Tennis spielen wollen. Vom zugeklebten Mund über den Rucksack bis zum ziemlich skurrilen Natron-Trick: Andreas haut mal wieder einiges raus.Der Nachfolger von Stefans Relaxator ist der Artzt Vitality Atemtrainer, den gibt es hier. Andreas' Buch „Biohacking für Sportler“ gibt es hier. Die Biohacking-Praxis-Folge zu IHHT gibt es hier zum Nachhören. Die angesprochene Sache mit dem Sauerstoffanteil in der Luft ist nicht ganz einfach. Es geht nämlich um den Sauerstoffpartialdruck, nicht um den Sauerstoffanteil in der Luft. Die Seehöhe, auf der der Sauerstoffpartialdruck in der Luft nur 85% des Wertes auf Meereshöhe beträgt, sind immerhin 14.500 Meter, also noch ein paar Seillängen über dem Gipfel des Mount Everest.Beim Tabata-Training hat sich Stefan verhaspelt. Es sind natürlich 20 Sekunden Be- und 10 Sekunden Entlastung, nicht umgekehrt. (Es war tatsächlich ein Versprecher, Stefans Tabata-Einheiten gehorchen den korrekten Vorgaben.)Von Brian McKenzie gibt es diese beiden Bücher zum Thema Ausdauertraining: „Power Speed Endurance“ gibt es hier, „Unbreakable Runner“ hier.  Zur Netflix Doping-Reportage „Ikarus“ geht es hier. Ein gutes Zink-Präparat gibt es hier (von Pure) oder hier (von edubily). Ein gutes Selen-Präparat gibt es hier. Zur Kühlung der Hoden empfiehlt sich zum Beispiel dieses praktische (und auch formschöne) Kleidungsstück. Ein gutes Vitamin C mit Langzeit-Release ist zum Beispiel dieses. Das offenbar perfekte Verhältnis von EPA und DHA ergibt sich aus einem 1:1-Mix aus Algenöl und Alaska-Öl von Norsan.

This week, following a request from regular listener David Hill, I'm going to take a short dive into what is called breath work. So thank you David for a great suggestion! I've had several podcast conversation about this specific subject and there's no doubt in my mind that it makes a real difference to health and performance by managing anxiety, improving that ability to relax, and all of the positive knock ons from there.   Breathing is controlled by our autonomic nervous system (ANS), so for the majority of your day it happens unconsciously. And, you're probably thinking, "Well, I've got to 30, 40, 50 without ever having to really think about this so I must be doing something right." Yes, you are doing enough to keep your body alive and running.   In fact, with some conscious breathing you can make some really positive changes to your mind and your body, helping you to be more relaxed or more activated.   I'm going to divide this into 3 categories and provide an example of each that you can try: Purposeful breathing to maintain ease Breathing to improve exercise technique and recovery Calm down breathing to lower anxiety and physiological anxiety I'm going to finish the episode with a couple of little experiments you can try to see how different types of breathing affect your heart rate.   To revisit (or listen for the first time) to the longer podcasts about breathing please click on the links below.   How to improve your health and athletic performance with nose breathing - George Dallam How you can gain the Oxygen Advantage to supercharge your health and fitness - Patrick McKeown How to be an UnBreakable Runner - Brian MacKenzie If you are still breathing you are still winning - Louisa Holmes   If you're a new listener, you can subscribe to the podcast HERE so that you never miss an episode!   I would love for you to share the episode with one person you think could benefit!   To leave a review of the podcast on Apple podcasts CLICK HERE.

Regular listeners will know that I'm a big fan of mobility and strength work, to the point where I have regularly recommended to athletes that they reduce their swim, bike, and run volume and use that time to work out in the gym (or at home). Several years ago I came across a book written by this week's guest, Brian MacKenzie. The book was “Unbreakable Runner” and the principle was to replace a lot of running volume with CrossFit-style workouts. Brian used this approach to complete his first 50 mile ultra on a much lower volume of running than you might expect, and he uses this approach with athletes he coaches. In our chat we discuss: The Unbreakable Runner - less volume, more intervals, and a lot more strength work Breathing as a measure of exercise intensity - Brian introduces the 5 gear system (22:00) Skill development for endurance athletes to reduce injuries (40:50) The negative impacts of wearable technology (56:45) Why mood is the most valuable metric for athlete performance (1:00:10) Valuing your time, and aligning behaviours with goals (1:01) To find out more about Brian please visit the following places Websites HHP Foundation Brian MacKenzie Instagram @shift_adapt   To purchase Brian's books PowerSpeedEndurance UnBreakable Runner UnPlugged Brian also recommended the following book: Awareness by Anthony deMello During the conversation Brian also mentioned the unique strength workouts created by the BEST BIG WAVE SURFER of all time, Laird Hamilton.

In this episode, I have human performance specialist,  former colleague,  and good friend Brian Mackenzie. We revisit his days at Crossfit, first as CrossFit Endurance and then his books PowerSpeedEndurance, Unbreakable Runner and Unplugged. Brian and Co. then focused on shifting the paradigm in training and preparation for endurance events and then expanding the skill first message throughout the world of human performance. SHIFT works with professional athletes, Fortune 500 executives, tactical personnel, and everyday people like us became an amazing lab for understanding how stress and our relationship with it shape human behavior. SHIFT's search for the most universal performance enhancement tool available led us down the rabbit hole of breathwork and ultimately resulted in the creation of the Art of Breath seminar series. The Art of Breath was designed to break down traditional silos in breathwork practices and make this amazing tool available to anybody regardless of the entry point.  Breath control is an incredibly powerful tool for improving resilience and enhancing performance for every living human on the planet.  Our journey traveling and developing this seminar highlighted a simple fact-people, even the highest performers on Earth manage stress poorly.

This show is about rethinking the basic notions of athletic training, particularly the “no pain, no gain” model that’s been widely criticized but is still embedded into DNA of many competitive athletes. This show was syndicated on the Primal Endurance podcast, so if you are an endurance athlete, definitely check out that show and learn how to pursue endurance goals in a healthy, balance banner. I was a pro athlete for nine years and been in the fitness business for 30 years, but in the last couple years I’ve met some people that have absolutely blown my mind with evolved insights and athletic training, performance, and recovery. In particular, we are experiencing an awakening in the fitness world as to the importance of recovery in the big picture of peak performance. For decades, we’ve been stuck in a narrow mentality focused on conducting a thoughtful and effective pattern of workouts as the end-all for fitness success. What a joke. It’s time to wake up and learn some insights that will transform your approach to fitness, and help you preserve your health as you pursue ambitious fitness goals. I compiled some brief insights from an assortment of fitness leaders, patching them together to an interesting and memorable. I know you may like to listen to podcasts on the go, but this show requires some note taking. Do what these folks say you will become a better athlete and healthier person. Here is the dream team for insights and a sound bite for the insights detailed on the show: Dr. Phil Maffetone : The godfather of aerobic training and fat-adapted eating has been preaching the same message for nearly 40 years. Finally, people are paying attention and the MAF training concepts are becoming highly respected and adopted by endurance athletes. * MAF heart rate: The maximum aerobic heart rate is the upper limit for an effective aerobic workout. It’s 180-age in beats per minute. Go faster as a pattern (extremely common for endurance athletes of all levels) and you will dig yourself a grave of overtraining and overstress. * Stressful workouts—return on investment: You need never exceed 90% of maximum heart rate when conducting high intensity intervals, time trials, tempo sessions, or group classes. Topping out at 90 percent of max is vastly less stressful that taking things up to true max. You get only moderately different training stimulation but vastly more stress and recovery time necessary. Oh mercy, I wish I knew and honored this in my triathlon career. Lots of effort and money was left in workouts that should have been saved carefully for race day! Brian McKenzie: The Power, Speed, Endurance guru and author of Unbreakable Runner is now obsessed with breathing and recovery as the primary focus for fitness enthusiasts. If you learn to breathe correctly, you minimize the stress impact of the workout and spend more time in healthy balance between sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous system function. Brian helped endurance athletes embrace the importance of intensity instead of just road slog; now he is poised to help all athletes embrace the importance of recovery—including cutting edge techniques for breathing and hot and cold therapy. Listen to his show on the Get Over Yourself podcast! Joel Jamieson: The guru of Recovery Based Training talks about Rebound workouts, where doing a focused protocol of movements in the gym can actually speed up recovery! I have only recently implemented Joel’s techniques, and with great success. Previously, I thought that sleeping more, napping, and relaxing on the couch were the ultimate recovery tools. Joel’s workout features breathing, stretching, mobility/range of motion exercise, doing positive lifts only (dropping the weight after lifting to avoid eccentric), and doing very short intervals with mindful heart rate lowering during long recovery periods. Craig Marker: Craig and Pavel Tsatsouline of StrongFirst are making some awesome breakthroughs in training theory that you absolutely must try. First, dig the concept of HIRT instead of HIIT. The latter, High Intensity Interval Training, is a term that’s been bantered about for years as the foundation of serious athletic training. High Intensity Repeat Training conveys a different concept where you focus on producing repeat efforts of explosive, intense effort without declining performance and getting tired with successive efforts. This is similar to Jacques Devore’s breakthrough method called Maximum Sustained Power (MSP) that is detailed in the book Primal Endurance. How to transition to HIRT and MSP? Freakin ’ rest more between efforts man! And stop the workout when you notice performance declining! I have recently implemented the HIRT concept with fabulous success. I will be do ing a whole show about it in the future, so stay tuned. HIIT workouts lead to exhaustion, extended recovery time and ultimately burnout. Why do almost all group exercise workouts, high school and college team workouts, and personal trainers believe that HIIT is the way? Dated and misinterpreted science, such as the “bastardization of the Tabata concept” as Craig says. If you are a serious fitness enthusiast, this show can transform your approach, make recovery better, and change your entire life in the process! *TIMESTAMPS:* Some exercise programs are disastrously flawed and set you up for an overly stressful life. [03:51] Recovery is very important. [04:55] The most enthusiastic athletes as well as the casual fitness person need to learn how to work-out in a way that doesn’t do damage. [08:24] The Maffetone method is: slow down and emphasize aerobic development. For heart rate, the formula is 180 minus your age. [12:11] You need not ever exceed 90% of your maximum heart rate, even during the most intense and explosive training sessions. [14:09] Brian MacKenzie ,’s contribution to this is suggesting to endurance athletes to add Crossfit training into their routines. [18:30] What’s the big deal about breathing? [21:32] Dial things down. [24:24] Rebound workouts are sessions you perform when you are trying to recover from high stress training sessions. [26:13] HIIT is high intensity interval training. [30:55] Sprinting is very important. [32:32] When lifting, pick a weight you could do eight times, make sure to do a succession of sets with a declining number of reps in order to make sure you are rested and explosive for each effort.

Brian is the co-author of an epic textbook on training titled Power, Speed, Endurance , and the New York Times bestseller, Unbreakable Runner. As the founder of the CrossFit Endurance movement, Brian gained notoriety for challenging the dated conventional endurance wisdom of a mileage obsessed, “more is better” approach. Brian’s comprehensive program blending traditional aerobic mileage with varied forms of explosive strength training, flexibility/mobility work (he’s a close associate of MobilityWOD.com and Becoming a Supple Leopard author Dr. Kelly Starrett), breath work and recovery has busted the boundaries and barriers of the old school approach. Brian has occasionally faced challenges and controversy by those favoring status quo. Consider this salacious magazine article title from Outside magazine in 2013: “Brian MacKenzie's Controversial New Approach to Marathon Training: The mastermind behind CrossFit Endurance says the best way to train for a marathon is to run less and torture yourself more in the gym.” Well, it’s not nearly as simple and crude as the frequently referenced juxtaposition of “quantity versus quality” suggests. It’s now becoming clear that chronic cardio is not only ineffective but can also destroy your health. Furthermore, it’s also evident that endurance athletes are deficient in many areas of general fitness, especially preserving efficient technique as they become fatigued. If your low back and hip flexors get cooked at mile 20 of a marathon (because, for argument’s sake, that’s a butt-long way and you’ve perhaps never run further than that in training), some of the energy your cardiovascular machine is still able to produce for the final six-mile slog is wasted. Instead of maintaining a balanced center of gravity and generative efficient explosive force with each stride, you center of gravity caves and you collapse a bit into the ground on each stride. This is where the explosive training goes in. Loading a squat bar with weight, running sprints or performing any other explosive efforts is in many respects simulating what happens to your body at mile 20, but without having to exhaust yourself by running the first 20 miles in training before obtaining that desired breakthrough adaptation. Explosive work is not an endurance “hack” (you will never hear Brad use that word on this show or in life, ever). Rather, it’s adding a critically important training modality to your game in order to best prepare your body for daunting competitive challenges without falling apart. With Brian passionately advocating to expand our training consciousness, he has come off as an intense guy, which he is. After all, that’s him sprinting in Tim Ferriss’s epic Four Hour Body book trailer and his thumbnail image with his individual finger tattoos spelling “U-N-S-C-A-R-E-D.” What was cool in meeting Brian person was how thoughtful and chill he is. The conversation went off into the metaphysical and reflective direction instead of just going into his boiler plate PowerSpeedEndurance message. Brian starts by discussing the perspective he has gained from his recent terrible accident, surgery, and recovery process, gives a refreshingly expanded perspective of the dated and oversimplified quality versus quantity debate, countering the “more is better” mentality with the priceless maxim, “Better is Better.” Perhaps the best takeaway from the show is Brian’s emphasis that the next evolution in human performance will come in the area of recovery, and complementary practices such as breathing, cold therapy, and heat therapy, of which he is super focused on these days.
