As endurance athletes we tend to take a lot of what we do for granted: going out, pushing our limits mentally and physically, and looking for the "next big goal" to strive towards. None of that is possible without a lot of systems in the body being healthy and functioning well.

In this episode, Joshua Bradley shares with us his journey from high-tech startup CEO, to IBD and Crohn's patient, and his incredibly journey from finding the bike as a way to build health and resilience, and his path to living a life built around his health, family, and daily activities that include strength training, running, and riding.

The return from a serious injury involves far more than the physical healing, yet it seems that we often still forget this. In this episode Dr. Lisa Lewis shares with us insights and advice on how to best see these challenging times as ways to improve ourselves on many more levels. You'll hear from HVT Summer 2023 Intern Jordana at the end as to her reflections and thoughts on this conversation, and why she wishes someone had shared these things with her when she was going through her serious injury and recovery process.

Summer is officially here, and that means it's time to hit the heavier weights (by RPE, or course!) and to get in some plyometrics alongside, to help get your power and strength on the bike or run up! But this goes against pretty much all "common knowledge"! In-season should be just my sport and "core work"....Not if you're looking for your best performances! But the Amount of heavy lifting and plyometrics you do matters, as does the quality of each. In this episode Jason Fitzgerald of StrengthRunning.com shares with us how to think about strength & plyometrics, as well as how to best dose them for the results you want, and deserve!

When we start to ride our bikes, or practice endurance sports, it often hits us as a bit of an addiction: How far can we go? What new roads and trails can we find? Where DOES that road at that last turnaround point for your 70 miler actually go? But as we progress, we begin to look around (mostly up) to see what the best around us are doing to see if we can emulate their progress (ok, ok, we want to do a bit better). While some may look to get as fast as possible, as quickly as possible, others, like co-host of the Wise Athletes Podcast Joe Lavelle, are eyeing optimization for longevity. Not this year, or next year, but the next 5, 10, or 20 years.

Joe sat down with us to talk about his journey as a podcast host and his quest to optimize for longevity: How he fell into road cycling through one of life's twists and turns, eventually found track cycling, and how he looks to reap the rewards, one step at a time, from the low-hanging fruits that are being offered to you at each step along the way.

As we venture on our quest to get in shape, get faster, or lose some weight, it seems everyone around us- especially those we love and whom we care for their opinions- have "thoughts" to share with us...which often undermine our very commitment and dedication to where we want to go. This short episode tackles a few of those objections, and shares tips on how you can keep on track.
