In episode 30 of the Friday Fat Black, Pete and I get to speak with TS and recent sub 10 hour athlete and ALL BLACKS Strength & Conditioning Coach Nicholas Gill on all things recovery. Nic understands that his athletes need to be able to work hard, recover quickly so that they adapt quickly and can get stuck back into more work. Thus creating optimal performance.
It's through this work and with multitudes of other elite athletes that Nic has a great handle on the recovery methods to use. He has also written numerous papers and peered revied journals on the subjects of compression and cold therapy.

In todays Friday Fat Black Pete and I dive into the importance of being realistic about the goals and expectations you set yourself. Personally I hate the saying "you have to be realistic" or "realistically, I can only ....", to me that is being mired in mediocrity. I love Big Hairy Audacious Goals and while you could look at some not being 'realistic' right now - if you are willing to commit (you do know there is an enormous difference in being interested or being committed don't you) and give it the time, patience and dedication needed, backed with a never give up on your dreams attitude then almost anything is truly possible. We Cover:- How goals and expectations are a doubled edged sword - Breaking goals into two parts: Process and Move you forward goals - Focus and concentration - The NEED to look at things from a neutral perspective: What are the 'facts' right now. - Why you shouldn't judge your self worth on a workout or result - The expectations you should start with - Race day, how we focus on the wrong things which push us away from the goals we want. - Life circumstances - When to take your goals and expectations with you and when to leave the behind - Why you choke or make stupid avoidable mistakes in a race - and so much more Links: |

Friday Fat Black Episode 23 - Swimming with Craig Percival In this FFB, Pete and I get the pleasure of speaking with Craig Percival about swimming, the common mistakes and some very simple tips to help you get out of the water faster and in better shape. I've know Craig for a number of years through Aquashop and being around Iornman expos but wanted to get him on our podcast after seeing some success his had with athletes and especially in the swim discipline. I'm talking wholesale changes in swim times and this is what perked my ears up. Craig is not only a very good swimmer himself (now holds the 10k swim record at Ultraman Canada including days 1 and 2) but also a very good coach too. It's a cracking episode. Enjoy. We'd love it if you are getting enjoyment and great advice from our podcasts if you could give us a 5-Star rating and review on iTunes we'd be forever grateful. |
