We all justify why we can't or won't do something we really want. Like making more money, winning losing weight, getting faster. It doesn't matter. When we tell the world we want something but tell ourselves something else, it's time for a little tough love. We hope this helps you out of some of your default excuses!
That early morning workout is more important than you think. Free up the later part of the day and get hurt less often. That injury, it's on you. What are you going to do now? The mentality of being hurt. Enjoy the show.
A running set that you only need a cheap watch to complete. And no fitness. And ideally no other thoughts but push a little harder this time. A bodyweight workout completely by feel for 10, 20, or 30 minutes. You finish by grading with one number instead of hundreds of reps. Get out of your head today.
You ever have a workout buddy that actually makes you less motivated? How do you keep the mindset where it needs to be? The rules for training with others. Father's Day fun facts on the show. Three stories about dad that are pretty funny. Lots of hustling. Shout out to Leadville runners.
My dad has been gone for 8 months. How about a deep Letterman style countdown on 8 things we can't control but can learn from? DONE. Perspective for athletes and of course, humans.
New format trial! The host gets contracted to help develop a whole school of athletes. Why the feedback from endurance sports is sometimes a tough sell for newbies.

A spring race in Colorado with a couple visits from the biggest of our predators. Running and marking a course in 18 inches of snow. The lack of complainers for this certain day.

Chris Stoutenburg leaned back on a railing when he was 20 years old and fell two stories, landing on his arm on a patch of grass the size of his body. It was a lucky fall and the beginning of his story on the show. He went on to travel the world and win multiple championship for Team Canada in wheelchair basketball, co-founded a successful Cross Fit box and founded WheelWod.com. An inspiring story that reinforces that we are not our circumstances, we are how we react to them.

Two years ago, I spent the first round of the NCAA tourney with my dad and 5 ex college buddies. It was an amazing experience and making the start of this first tourney without him pretty odd. Also, spring is unpredictable so when you get snowed in, try this workout. Kudos to people asking for accountability and saying goodbye to a climber who helped shaped the sport.
