The Run Down

I catch up with my main man Benjamino again this week to do a more structured episode where we answer some questions about ourselves. Both deep and meaningful questions and a few light hearted ones for the Ha Ha's.

We go into a bit of depth on the following topics:

• What has been significantly impactful on our lives.
• What mark we want to leave on the earth when we die.
• What makes us unique and proud to be who we are.
• Why Ben shaves his legs and what animal I would choose to be.
• Our thoughts on taking Testostarone as we get older and our bodies begin to produce less of it.

This episode was super fun! We went deep with some of the questions but we also had some good laughs!

On this weeks episode I am joined by my homie Ben, who I've been teasing an appearance of since day one.

His alterego Dr Fat and my alterego CaptnFit have been bro-ing out for what feels like a lifetime!

We talk a bunch of nonsense but also cover off:

• Ben's disc injury
• How to train smart
• The best coconut water in the world
• What the best trump cards you can have in life are

You can find Ben on Instagram @thedrfatblueprint and myself @anthony__dipaolo

This week I jump in hot off a brick session in the cold to talk about a whole lot of nothing that does contain some somethings! I have been on one of those moods where I wanna annoy everyone this weekend so I had to try and control myself after discovering some new Voice controls. In all seriousness I speak about the following throughout the episode:

• Crypto
• Conspiracies
• Ideas for my podcast
• Choosing to focus my energy
• How my calf is traveling
• Yoga
• Justify the purchase of a new GoPro

This week I talk a bit of nonsense about the matrix that we are all apart of and how I'm coping with a recent calf injury. I also go into...

• Trying to video my podcast
• Why you should just be who you are and tell anyone who's trying to stop you to get Fucked.
• My opinion on whether elite athletes should sacrifice long term health for short term success.
• Kids as young as nine are being admitted to hospital for eating disorders
• New weekly goals looming
• Fresh Lockdown Trims

After a week off last week I come out hot this week with all the stories I missed out on! I cover off a range of little side topics like...

• My Current mental health
• How training is going
• My current goals around nutrition
• How important it is to run on a range of surfaces
• Talking general shit

Then I finish the episode with a big ol rant about how irresponsible I think the protests are at the peak of an outbreak.

After a big episode last week I tried to make this weeks episode more light hearted!

I spoke about a range of things! Some of the big ones being:

• For years I thought the only way to get a Winabago was to win one.
• God doesn't have to specifically be what the bible depicts god as. It can come in the form of a lot of things.
• Everyone says they are so supportive of Diversity... but when it comes to diversity of thought they are no where to be found.
• Goals are allowed to change. As long as you feel you are moving in the right direction its ok.

This week I talk about a stage of my life that was very difficult for me! a stage that I'm not proud of, yet couldn't bring myself to stop.

Only 1 person knew about this phase of my life before this podcast and thats due to the shame I felt around it.

I hope that through sharing my story I can help other people who are experiencing similar problems make the move to turn their lives around.

I also talk a bit of shit and ask myself some questions (Because I forgot to get others to ask them).

This week I touch on a few different topics:

• Buying a Crypto Horse
• My Mindset during covid lockdowns
• How to come back from bonking during an endurance event or what I like to call "Damage Control".
• How not rushing your progress and taking it Day-by-Day leads to big things.

In between these topics I talk about my week and other random stuff that I've found interesting and challenging.

I also answer some ripper listener questions that cover a range of topics.

To finish I offer a bit of a teaser for next weeks episode on my Dark Years of dealing with an eating disorder.

This week I begin by airing my thoughts on the recent lockdowns thrust upon us in Melbourne and how I personally tackle them mentally.

I touch on my training for the week and how It has been one of the hardest weeks mentally for me! I explain how I'm grateful for the training buddies I have to pull me through on those dark days!

I spend the majority of the time talking about whether I believe standards are a good or a bad thing! and how 'society' sets standards for us that we don't have a choice in, that aren't always helpful in our lives.

I finish off by answering some killer questions!

This week I go into the differences between Motivation and Discipline. I explore which of the two I believe is more important and where each might be applicable in both training and in life.

I go off on a few tangents including why rabbits tails are white and the real origins of the easter bunny!

I cap off the episode by answering a few questions! I have also addressed the volume issue (Hopefully) so all feedback is welcome! Shoot me a message @toeingthelinepod
