In this episode, Stefanie Flippin provides a deep dive into Lululemon's FURTHER project. Stefanie is a Lululemon sponsored athlete who participated as an athlete, coach, and scientist.

There has been many podcasts and articles published about FURTHER yet this may be the most detailed analysis released at this time.

Stefanie shares her experience along with Peter Bromka with a cameo from Matt Chittim.

Today on group chat we have Kofuzi, Laura Thweatt, and Peter Bromka (and a tiny bit from Matt Chittim).

Episode Rundown:

The weekend was JAM PACKED with running goodness and we couldn't wait to dive-in! Today on the show we have Peter Bromka, Lindsey Hein, Marcus Brown, and Matt Chittim.

This wide-ranging conversation features Laura Thweatt, Peter Bromka, Lindsey Hein, and Matt Chittim.

We go through the following with plenty of our trademark tangents:

In this conversation, Mario Fraioli discusses his coaching career, what he loves about the profession, how he has grown as a coach, the challenges his athletes face, his communication around those topics, and much more with Stefanie Flippin and Peter Bromka.

This is our new take on this format. Instead of addressing specific training and racing topics, we want to know about the philosophies and evolution behind some of the best coaches in our sport.

Mario emphasizes the importance of building long-term relationships with athletes and the value of trust and longevity in coaching. He also discusses the significance of taking risks and setting big goals in athletic performance. Mario addresses the challenges of imposter syndrome and the importance of understanding the athlete's context.

He also shares his thoughts on enduring vs absorbing training and the impact of social media on athletes' mental health. In this part of the conversation, Mario and Stefanie discuss the impact of social media on athletes and the importance of using it in a healthy way. They also explore how to evaluate new training methods and trends, emphasizing the need for self-awareness and critical thinking.

The conversation concludes with a discussion on the creative aspect of coaching and the joy of finding unique training solutions.
