Athlete On Fire

Lauren Jones has been sharing her journey of recovery after her labrum repair surgery. Today, on the way to the gym she shares where she is at two months post op both mentally and physically. What has she learned along the way that can help other athletes considering surgery or going through a long, slow recovery.

We had a great conversation with Lo Myrick from what the start up culture taught her to why doing things with intention is so important, especially in the morning. We also talk about how she stays fit on the road as someone who travels a lot. She shares a story about a swim run event in the mountains that is a unique take on mountain running and swimming. Enjoy the show!

Lauren Jones of Life's 2 Short Fitness just underwent Labrum surgery and she tells about the whole process from the signs and symptoms that led to the injury as well as the surgery process and recovery so far through a few weeks. She also talks about setting goals post op to stay motivated and how much she loves to bring adventure, especially SUP, to the masses! Enjoy the show.

If you know who Ryan Atkins is, it is probably because of his excellence in the OCR circuit. Today, we talk about one of his many adventures he plans on taking on in the cold of Canada for a great cause. Fat biking in polar bear country on frozen lakes, sounds about right for one of the most adventurous people we know!

Jesse Itzler is a serial entrepreneur, ultra runner, and general seeker of adventure.  On the show we talk about adventurous parenting, addiction to newness, and mental toughness.  His background is amazing and diverse and to spare the clickbait(y) descriptions about what this guy has accomplished, I'd recommend you just listen to the show to find out who he really is first, then go google the crap out of him!  Thanks for listening.

Our guest is as passionate about the outdoors as anyone we have had on the show. We talk about his calling and many of the adventures that have come along with it. Of his personal achievements, he completed an 1800 mile bikepack from Banff, Canada to his home in Colorado. From day to day, you can find Jalen on his bike exploring obscure regions of wilderness and sharing his travel stories to Colorado's Afro communities.   This episode is sponsored by Health IQ, an insurance company that helps health conscious people get special life insurance rates.

Max Conserva is back on the show to share a new training protocol he helped develop for coaches and trainers to work better with adaptive athletes. So many trainers simply pass off the opportunity to work with athletes with prosthetics or other obstacles when it could be a rewarding and inspiring experience for both.  Today, we talk about the road Max went down to make sure he could reach more athletes like himself.  He lost most of a leg to an accident when he was a youngster.  We hope you will love the show and share with a trainer or coach you know!

Ian Warner is a serial entrepreneur, former collegiate and Olympic athlete, and now, a father and husband.  We talk about the idea he has had for year that he finally made happen and the friend he lost that inspires him everyday to keep going.  This show is where being an athlete and overall good person intersect.

[From Becoming Ultra] Traveling across the country is much more physically demanding than you think.  It's why we give our body a few days to recover before running far. Also on the show, some of the positive mental tricks to get through this first 100k!

[From partner show, Becoming Ultra] In 6 days, the founder of BU will be running his first 100k. There will be no start line, bibs, or fanfare. Just a few friends, family, and a couple running buddies trying to remember his dad on his first birthday since his passing. On the show today, the route and the meaning behind it. Where is the toughest section? What is the strategy for the first 12 miles? Enjoy the show!
