240. Long drive, strong habits (The road trip playbook)


Listen Later

A long drive doesn’t have to wipe out your routine. In this episode, Coach JK shares his personal road trip playbook; the simple, repeatable systems he’s built from years of car travel.


From pre-trip workouts and audiobook strategies to keeping gas station stops intentional, JK breaks down how to protect your fitness foundations (eat well, sleep enough, exercise regularly) while still enjoying the trip.


You’ll get realistic tips and tactics for before, during, and after the drive. You'll also get a few bonus strategies for when you arrive at your destination.


Whether you’re traveling for work, family, or fun, you’ll walk away with ideas you can adapt to your own trips without turning your vacation into a boot camp.


Listen in to learn:

  • Why movement before you hit the road matters

  • How to use audiobooks without zoning out

  • The mindset shift that stopped mindless gas station snacking

  • Easy ways to keep fruits and veggies in your travel meals

  • The value of short walks after long stretches in the car

  • How to set up your food environment when you arrive

  • Your next road trip can still support your goals — it just takes a little intention.
