Defining the ATHLETISPAN

These days, there are a number of terms which are frequently used to describe our pursuit of longevity and peak performance. The manner in which we frame that which we do…can have a powerful impact on our mindsets as well as our outcomes. Here’s a topic that we discuss quite often in The Lifetime Athlete App. And that’s the ATHLETISPAN.…

Chiming in on the Zone 2 Discussion

There’s been quite a lot of buzz around the topic of Zone 2 training over the past couple of years. Z2 exercise is recognized as essential for endurance sport performance, valuable for general health and fitness, and significant for longevity and functional independence. I thought I’d take this opportunity to share a few thoughts and observations. Let’s begin with a…

Sleds, Training Splits, Superfoods…and More!

In Episode 421 of The Lifetime Athlete Podcast, I responded to a number of Lifetime Athlete App community member questions. Should Lifetime Athletes be using sleds? What’s the ideal training split? Are superfoods a hoax? And more. Worth a listen if you are going after healthspan and lifelong fitness.

Intensity is the Fountain of Youth!

Let’s start off today’s message using two popular concepts. Longevity, and anti-aging. Both of these hint at our chosen topic, but neither of them quite do it justice. Longevity simply describes the condition of living a long life. Some will suggest that by default this long life needs to be relatively healthy in order to achieve its potential. But statistics…

What it Means to be Hard to Kill

What does it really mean to be Hard to Kill? I end up touching on this with a lot of members in The Lifetime Athlete App during our Personal Coaching Consultations. Most people really jive with the HTK concept, but a few bristle at it and say it sounds too much like a macho action film theme. I’m certainly not…

The Intersection of Longevity and Peak Performance

The intersection of longevity and performance is indeed a unique subject. It’s something that we’ve focused upon for years here at TLA. And it’s inarguably the most important consideration for members of this community. In discussing this topic, we must first examine some definitions. Longevity, in its broadest sense, simply refers to length of life. And performance, in our context,…

7 Reasons Not to Trust Longevity Influencers

Influencer. I’ve come to despise the term as much as “biohacking.” And many of those who portray themselves as all-knowing. If one produces content – and offers products or services – in any field, authenticity is an imperative. This is especially true for any individual who is purportedly attempting to help others to experience long, healthy, and productive lives. Since…

Let’s Make America Fit Again!

Now here’s a great topic! Ironically, it’s one which applies less to our TLA community than it does to the general population. Nonetheless, let’s explore with equal parts curiosity and reason. This will be a rambling conversation with the goal of neither informing nor convincing you…it’s simply intended to be food for thought. Depending on your historical perspective or favorite…

Mastering the Deload

This is definitely cornerstone content on the platform and consequently it’s going out in triplicate format. There will be a podcast and video with a parallel message. I think this topic is so important that I want to make sure it fills every media option within our community. Let’s begin with an expanded definition of deloading. With training, especially for…

Training for LIFE!

Today’s topic is one which I find particularly fascinating. Let’s begin with a definition of what Training for LIFE means. Training for LIFE, in TLA terms, means two things. You are engaged in athletic and fitness training throughout your lifespan. This process will evolve and take on different shapes, but you’re in it to win it. And perhaps more importantly,…

Healthspan Versus Lifespan

I absolutely love this topic. It represents the crux of our quest at TLA. At some point, every Lifetime Athlete ponders some version of the following question: “How can my lifestyle interventions and behaviors, including but not limited to training and nutrition, impact both the length and quality (health, functionality, performance) of my lifespan?” What matters most? Living as long…
