The sports world was shocked to its core this past weekend. As a Celtics fan, I was never the biggest cheerleader for Kobe, but relentless pursuit of greatness was something to behold and extremely inspiring. This episode talks about the mental
We've all read what Men's Health and Muscle & Fitness magazines have told us regarding strength training. But the reality is that our training programs need to mimic EXACTLY what it is we are looking for in terms of our goals towards performanc
We've all done it. We've done 30 minutes on the treadmill and then headed off to our strength training session and pumped out some squats, pull-ups, bench press, whatever (or strength THEN cardio...whatever). Well, science shows this isn't the
In part three of my series on aerobic endurance, I wanted to talk about the types of aerobic endurance needed for performance and the fuel needed for long slow distance events. 
I ran into a situation this past week where being prepared for a health emergency was of the utmost importance. I talk about that along with a recent study regarding shoes on this week's episode. 
2019 was a banner year for being a masters athlete. With the launch of this podcast, running at the Masters National Championships, and coaching several athletes, I’ve learned a ton throughout this year. This week’s episode i talk about what I’
And we're back with another episode dedicated to aerobic endurance. This week I touch base on long-distance versus short distance endurance training and when it's appropriate to use HIIT as a training tool. I talk about using heart rate as an i
Aerobic endurance has many different aspects and types of training associated with it. It can be anything from a 1-mile run to a full marathon. But the training for those two events, while both being aerobic endurance, is not the same. Today I
It's no secret that our healthcare system is broken. From the education that physicians receive to the care plans insurance allows, to the fact that the allied health field is completely shut out from working alongside MD. The entire system is
We've all seen and heard of What the Health and Forks over Knives. Pro-vegan movies that promise everlasting life and make you scared to ever eat another hamburger again. Unfortunately, though, they have little to do with actual science and mor
We'd like to think we can do everything ourselves but sometimes we just need a coach to help us get through the madness of what it takes to be healthy. Whether it's fitness, nutrition, or health coaching, we all need a coach at some point and t
Martial arts isn't something that's only performed in an octagon. It's also a lot more than learning how to do various forms to get the next belt. Martial arts is a means of survival and a way to protect yourself against danger. My guest this w
Tell me you've heard this before...a friend/relative/client/coworker has justified their poor decision making regarding nutrition with the term "everything in moderation". Maybe you've even used it yourself. Or how about this one...the same fri
This week I delve into some of the articles I'm reading again and talk at great length about how they tie into what the masters athlete has to deal with and ways they can help the masters athlete train. https://donate.teamrwb.org/event/wod-for
We all have a drop in motivation. Whether it's family related, or injury, or financial stress, it's there. So this week I wanted to talk about why we have those drops in motivation and how we can move forward to getting past them. 
I thought I'd try something a little different today and review a few of the articles I've read over the past week that I've found interesting. Below are the links to these articles and I highly recommend you read them for yourself. https://s
Last week's episode questioning the application of Olympic lifting, and to a lesser degree, power lifting, into the strength training program of a masters athlete generated quite a bit of discussion. I wanted to revisit the subject this week cl
There's a lot of controversy surrounding the topic of just how much a masters athlete, or any athlete for that matter, requires the use of Olympic and power lifts incorporated into their training program. Yes, there are definite benefits associ
We all have stressors. As masters athletes we may deal with them a little more than those younger athletes. Today we talk about the stressors in our life and ways to deal with them. https://www.environmentalhealthproject.org/health-issues/str
We are all walking around in an inflamed state. Whether it's from poor nutrition, decreased quality sleep, increased stress, or poor gut health, we all have our reasons for being inflamed. This week's episode I want to discuss those reasons, th
As a masters athlete, we tend to fall into one of two groups: those that need to be a part of a community to help push us...hello CrossFit...and those that have decided we don't like the hustle and bustle of going to a commercial gym so we inve
This week I talk about the happenings at the USATF Masters National Track and Field Championships that were held in Ames, Iowa at Iowa State University. I review my events, how I did, and the injuries I overcame. I then talk about the people I
This week's episode is an interview with someone I see on a regular basis, especially when I'm trying to get to the starting line of any event I've signed up for. Dr. Kyle Bowling is the owner of Kentucky Sports Chiropractic in Louisville, KY a
In this week's episode, I talk about the very basics of nutrition. I go over what macronutrients are and how to fuel yourself for short, intense activities versus long, slow, low-intensity activities. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/
