We are fresh off of hosting our annual "sprint" adventure race and this is a great time to talk about getting comfortable while being uncomfortable. Adventure races come in many different formats although common themes are that they are multidisciplinary (in this case, running, gym challenges, basic navigation, and puzzle skills) and definitely put you out of your comfort zone!

Tune in while the coaches talk top-tips to keep your cool under pressure. Broad-based physical, mental, and emotional preparation help you deal with uncertainty.

HILARIOUS: Josh claims that we've never edited an episode. (Well we had to edit the end of this one!)

CLEVER: Ditties help you solve more complex problems than "rote" memorization.

PREVENTION: prevent mental overload by single-tasking faster.

CURE: Take deep breaths.

The "Great American Road Trip" has a special place in our imagination. Many of us have done it so we know that start-stop-start-stop is NOT a great way to make progress! Let's dig into this analogy and see how it can apply to your goals, especially when it comes to dealing with DISCOMFORT!

Plus:

-Josh had to buy a new car.

-Listeners are confused by Jordan's gym etiquette.

-Tongue Twisters: "She sells sea shells by the seashore" & the most challenging tongue twister in the English language!

Are you a forager or a prepper? Even if you fall strongly into one camp, chances are your outcomes could be improved if you developed some skill in the other. Modern foraging helps you think flexibly about nutrition while navigating daily routines, travel, and more. On the other hand, prepping helps you have a greater sense of control, if you can apply it.

Plus:

-A diary entry from an overly motivated coach.

-People's lives are at stake, and steak matters!

-Jordan gives her first SpOTW!

What is the bare-bones minimum equipment needed for a home gym? Spoiler alert: Josh thinks it starts and ends with an anchor point. Plus:

Facing Fears: a MASSIVE part of improving yourself is overcoming fear, because fear will stop your progress before it starts. Today, our coaches address basics of building confidence, especially as applied to weightlifting. Oftentimes we fear something that's new, so let's peel back the curtain together!

-Plus: Josh lives for seeing the "lights come on". Jordan wants women to stop being scared of the myth that they will get huge (because it's not gonna happen, but you will look better); military indoctrination training can apply across disciplines.

Are you a serial offender of these Top 10 etiquette rules? Do these rules even matter? Josh and Jordan vote them UP and DOWN.

Plus, continuing the conversation on mortality (never make a deal with the devil), cold sprint workouts make you cough, and planning is KEY.
