Sometimes (gasp) I make a mistake in a podcast episode. Please forgive me! Toward the end, when I'm talking about my research, I state 40 ml of fluid. That should be 40 OUNCES of fluid. Oops!

Register for the WTHPS here! The summit is approved for 7.0 BOC CAT A CEUs and 7.0 Oklahoma CLEET CEUs. NSCA CEUs are pending.

Today in the podcast, I riffed on fatigue. To be fair, firefighting is tiring work, and the ability to persevere when fatigued is important. But intentionally flirting with or chasing fatigue as a badge of honor is counterproductive.

Hear more in the episode and hop over to your favorite listening platform to leave a rating and a review. I'd really appreciate it.

Also, I just dropped creatine swag, and it's pretty groovy. Check out the storefront here.

You may not know this, but I’m originally from South Dakota. When I met Allie Barry, who is researching the volunteer fire service in my home state, I knew we needed to connect. 

Allie Barry, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the School of Health and Human Sciences at South Dakota State University where she teaches in the exercise science program. Her research focuses on improving cardiorespiratory fitness through increased levels of physical activity, leading to the development of specific Wellness Fitness Initiatives in fire departments. She is the Tactical Representative for the South Dakota National Strength and Conditioning Association.  She was awarded a FEMA early career investigator grant to examine ways to increase physical activity and nutrition in volunteer fire departments in South Dakota.
