Blood Flow Restriction Training with Dr Mike DeBord - Ep193

In this episode I speak with Dr Mike DeBord about Blood Flow Restriction Training and how it is an extremely effective training method for endurance athletes. 
 
BFR simultaneously creates an environment of oxygen scarcity and elevated lactate levels, which stimulate mitochondria and also upregulate anabolic hormones. 
 
This training method is extremely time efficient, as you only wear the bands for a handful of minutes. 
 
I am sure you will enjoy this conversation with Dr Mike. If you are interested in purchasing BFR bands from B3 Sciences, please consider using my affiliate link which is found in the bio. I only recommend products which I use myself, and after two years of using the B3 bands, I think they are an excellent product. 

Thanks for listening.

Finding Center with Lawrence Van Lingen (Part 2) - Ep192

In this episode I sit down for the second half of my conversation with Lawrence Van Lingen. We discuss the magnificent Tadej and look at his position on the bike, how he makes power, and analyze some video of him in action. We also peek at videos of Bradley Wiggins, Tom Pidcock, and Remco. 

Our conversation digs into the psychology of cyclists and why they do what they do. We agree that it is very important for an athlete to have a clear and authentic understanding of their “why”. 

I am sure you will appreciate Lawrence’s perspective on human movement in our discussion. Thanks as always for listening.

The Han Solo Effect - Ep190

In this walking podcast, I discuss the spectrum of athletes who are coached prescriptively vs those who are coached descriptively. 

By examining this spectrum, we can understand how and athlete or coach understand and relates to the metrics they work with, or in many cases, seem to worship. 

For the record, numbers should not be worshiped. 

My perspective is always to understand the why. I discuss aspects of why we would relate to a metric, such as power, in a certain way.

Acorns and Ice Skating - Ep189

In this podcast, I take a walk in Girona and discuss the inspirational athletic arc of Alysa Liu. If you haven’t read about her story, I recommend it, she embodies a child like, joyful athlete, and also jumped straight from the archetype of the child to the queen.
