    #655 - Lindsay Jones: 14 Minute PR at NYC for the Veteran NFL Media Member
    Nov 8 2024
    If you told me two weeks ago that Lindsay Jones would be a guest on the podcast, I would have called you a liar (while secretly wishing you were correct). Lindsay is one of my favorite NFL media members, she is the Senior Editor/NFL for The Ringer, and an experienced amateur runner. Well, it happened - Lindsay Jones is on the show I couldn't be more excited! Last weekend she set a 14 minute PR at the NYC Marathon despite juggling her never-ending professional to-do list (especially during the NFL season) as well as parental responsibilities. In this episode she details how she got faster at age 43 and is excited to keep getting faster in the future despite living a busy life in the tumultuous world of sports media.

  • #654 - Brad Culp and the Norwegian Method: The Culture, Science, and Humans Behind the Groundbreaking Approach to Elite Endurance Performance

    #654 - Brad Culp and the Norwegian Method: The Culture, Science, and Humans Behind the Groundbreaking Approach to Elite Endurance Performance
    Nov 1 2024
    Norway has long stacked the field with champions in sports like Nordic skiing and sailing, but a new generation of athletes has arrived on the endurance scene, smashing records and grabbing medals in running, cycling, and triathlon. Sports journalist Brad Culp unpacks the rise of the Norwegian method and its meticulous scientific protocols, which upend long-held beliefs about training and performance. With its rugged terrain and harsh weather, Norway has a way of hardening competitors for any test. Culp explores the how the Scandinavian culture imbues a unique biopsychosocial approach to performance. He also introduces the athletes, coaches, and scientists who are shaking up the world of endurance sports. Their secret? Plenty of volume at low intensity, punctuated with hard-fought double-threshold workouts, which seems to turn workhorses into winners—they know when to hold back and when to go all-out. The Norwegian Method is a real-life story of how discipline and determination can be employed to overcome seemingly impossible odds and achieve breakthrough performances. Culp gives endurance athletes a blueprint of how to adapt their training to look more like that of Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Kristian Blummenfelt.
