Today is a short but important podcast and I think well worth your time investment. I quickly go through the 3 KEYS I believe are the absolute key to any success in life. Anytime I've deviated things take longer or they just won't happen.

Today Charlotte and I talk about the ideology of hacks that make us believe there is some form of shortcut towards the outcomes we want.

We also cover the uncertainty that many athletes are going through in their training for races right now. And the ultimate question. Is it worth it when we don't know if the race will happen?

Today we talk about setting and getting goals. We use a different framework than the typical SMART goals process. 

Regardless of the system. We need to set them to get them. Goals that are set with commitment give us focus. As we speak about, your goals don't need to be for races just to train but we need goals and need to focus on whats the next step. 

Goals and focus right now are really important to our mental health as well as our physical health.

Every single one of us is going to face challenges both big and small and even seemingly insurmountable.

And there are going to be a myriad of challenges you’re going to have to overcome in order to get anywhere near your ‘life’ potential.

There will be sacrifice challenges, there will be injury and health challenges, there will be life circumstance challenges, there will be motivational challenges, there will be many a mental challenge and the list will go on and on.

The challenges we are all facing right now can seem overwhelming.

The problem is that we’re probably the only organism on earth that truly seeks comfort. We prefer to look for ‘outs’ from the daily struggle instead of embracing it.

We need to lean into the struggles. Embrace them, learn from them and move through them.

If we look to nature – it’s glaringly obvious that life is not easy at all.

Life is HARD and that’s ok.

Nature can give us some great lessons. Today is a short podcast on what we can learn from ANTS.

Enjoy.

Our biggest obstacle will always be ourselves, but we can get out of our own way by developing our belief systems through the process of I AM statements and WORK.

So if you are looking to be more and finally get on the real path towards those dreamed about results. Listen now!

Today we are back talking the NO bullshit ways to get good and stay good. We talk about misunderstanding Vo2Max... why focusing on increasing your FTP isn't your best focus and something way more important. How to not fade in the backend of racing.

All this also wrapped up in a listener question about developing muscular endurance.

I recently got to speak with Claudia Sorensen all about fascia, our beliefs, and how injuries show up. We had a really fascinating conversation and if you've had recurring injuries this may shine some light on why (even if you've been doing all the rehab, the stretching, the rolling etc).

Claudia is a Structural integration Rolf Practitioner, an associated member of the Ortho-Bionomy, and a certified yoga instructor.

You can find Claudia at The Little White House in Vernon BC

We need to stop buying into complexity is the way. We see way too many people undervaluing simplicity.

Simple doesn’t make it easy.

But keeping things simple is the pathway to getting really good at endurance sports.

Today Charlotte and I give you the main simple and required things you must do if you care about improving. If you care about seeing what you can do.

The hard thing with simple. It gets rid of a lot of the excuses why you think you can’t get good.

The answer is simple, it just ain’t comfortable.

Charlotte and I continue on with the No BS way to get good... 

I give you a little proud parent moment that shows a level of commitment that we can learn from. We also talk about decoupling your big hairy audacious goals from the calendar and why it's not always good to have a set time of when something should be achieved. It's about showing up and playing the long game. 

If you are committed to getting good and living your best life, we hope you are. We continue is the no BS way here.
