I wasn’t exactly sure what I was going to call this post, so it is indeed a report from TLA HQ! Technically, every post I write comes out of the headquarters of The Lifetime Athlete so I guess that’s pertinent. I’ve worked with a couple clients in Europe and South America so I can literally say I’m writing from the…

Wow! What an Endurance Block it has been! I hope you have enjoyed the past 3 months of training, and also that doozy of a test week we just accomplished. Daddy is tired and I bet you are too. We are going to do a very casual deload this week before we rev up and begin our 2-month Agility Block. …
Autumn is an amazing season. It’s my favorite. But I recognize it’s also important to know that every season has its attributes…and we should appreciate them all. But fall, to me, feels even more special. I love the way the light takes on that golden hue, and how the nights are crisp. Ancestrally, fall represented the peak of our hunting…

Lately I’ve been in a rabbit hole studying longevity versus quality of life, and comparing performance to basic functional abilities.

The research is quite interesting to say the…

I was recently doing a bit of traveling. As is often the case, I found myself pondering and reflecting on the human experience, at least my version of it. I don’t travel as much as I used to. I know that’s true for many of us, and for a variety of reasons. A number of friends, colleagues, and family members…
Yesterday was WhipperSnapper Wednesday. That was the theme of the daily email (The T2 eBlast!) that goes out to our Training Tribe members. The message was Get. Younger. Today. That was no joke and the tips and motivation the members received related to the training we are doing this month. We are in the Strength Training Block and we’re working…
In this mailbag episode we discuss several questions from our listeners and Lifetime Athlete community. Should you sign up for an event in the future to keep you motivated and consistent in training? Or should you wait until you are nearing peak shape to pick an event? When a muscle feels tight, do you stretch it, stretch elsewhere, or look…
