The Alive Awake podcast

Today, Scott and I discuss whether to focus on speed or endurance in your training, and how to find the right balance of both in order to perform at your best. 

In this epidode, Scott and I discuss the benefits of adding strength training into your training regimen, and how strength training can help to build a stronger, more durable chassis to make you a more well rounded athlete. 

In this Episode, we address a question from a new runner. "IS it ok to run on the balls of my feet?"  Brent and Scott take a look at heel strike, mid-foot strike and forefoot strike and discuss the question "is one better than the other?"  

Whether you are a new or experienced athlete, there are basic training principles that all athletes can abide by in order to perform at our best. 

One of the questions we get asked most by runners and triathletes is "how do I get stronger, fitter and faster?".  In this episode, we discuss the importance of rest & recovery and how proper rest and can improve your performance as an athlete. 

For those people who are looking to make a change in their life, and get fit, and get healthy, there are so many choices, and so many voices to listen to, especially in the online world. It's often difficult to tell what's real, and what's not. 

In today's episode, we shatter the myth of the "get fit quick" schemes, and talk about how to really get results, which is by actually doing the work. If you're a new runner or triathlete, or if you're just looking to improve your health and fitness, this episode is for you. 

in this episode, we talk about always being grateful and carrying a heart full of gratitude. When we're grateful for our health and fitness, regardless of our performance or ability level, it changes our perspective, not just on training and racing, but life as a whole. We need to remember that one day, our bodies will not be able to do this, but today is not that day. 

If you've been living and inactive or sedentary lifestyle, and you know that it's time for a change, the first step is always the hardest. Starting something new can be intimidating, daunting and scary. Our fears, doubts and excuses paralyze us into inaction. Today we talk about how to lose your excuses and get started on your road to being the best you can be.
