S4 Ep29: Why Adults Stop Feeling Athletic
You didn’t wake up old.
You gradually stopped doing athletic things.
Most people think they feel slower, stiffer and less athletic because they're getting older. I explain why so many adults stop feeling athletic - not because of their age, but because they've gradually stopped doing the things that made them athletic in the first place.
I break down the key qualities we lose as we get older, how to rebuild them safely, and what your training should include if you want to stay strong, fast, powerful and capable in your 40s, 50s and beyond.
In this episode:
Why I think we blame far too much on ageing
The 5 athletic qualities most adults gradually lose
Why strength training alone isn't enough
How to safely reintroduce speed, power and impact training
Why movement variety matters more than you think
The role of play, sport and challenging yourself physically
How I approach my own training in my 40s
Simple ways to add athleticism back into your week

S4 Ep28: The Final Weeks: Tapering, Travel & How to Arrive Ready to Perform
Most of us don't have the luxury of training like professional athletes. We have jobs, families, responsibilities and a lot less time.
Today I'm joined by Nick Garcia and Mike Delbridge to break down how busy athletes can still get incredible results by focusing on the things that matter most:
We share the habits we see successful athletes consistently doing
How to make your training work around a busy life,
Why recovery, consistency and planning will always beat trying to do more
If you want to perform better, recover faster and make progress without your sport taking over your entire life, this episode is for you.
