Episode 31: Professor Tim Noakes

"You must believe nothing."  So says Tim Noakes, one of the most well respected exercise scientists in the running world.  Author of Lore of Running and Waterlogged, Tim has radically changed his beliefs throughout the course of his 30+ year career, always in response to his own questions and the answers (or lack thereof) found in scientific literature.  From discussing why studies of 7 people aren't that useful to talking about his next big interest (infant nutrition), Tim is a wealth of information and well worth listening to on your next long drive.

Episode 30: Barry Murray, Sports Nutritionist

Barry Murray is a sports nutritionist and coach for elite endurance athletes.  His main focus is on adapting athletes to burn fat instead of carbs, and his work with Tour de France cyclists along with his own performances (several wins in ultra marathons) lend credence to his ideas.  In this podcast we discuss how long it takes to fat adapt, how fat adaptation is not the only part of athletic performance, and why you shouldn't go out and run 50k on no breakfast starting tomorrow morning.

Episode 27: Matt Kuzdub from Train with PUSH

Ok, so you lift weights as part of your training routine.  How do you measure that?  Up until now, you could only measure what you did (the weight) and how many times (the sets and reps.)  Matt Kuzdub comes on the podcast today to talk about the PUSH armband which tracks how fast you did it; it's called velocity based training, and it opens up a new dimension in how you can train.

Episode 26: Brooks Kubik, round 2

We are stoked to welcome back Brooks "I like a black iron gym" Kubik, 5 time National Bench Press champ and prolific author in the Iron Game.  Brooks & I continue our conversation, this time heading into the territory of the mind... View full article →

Episode 25: Brooks Kubik

Brooks Kubik is a fan of pure strength along with what you might (if you were a CrossFitter) call "ultra heavy metcon." Heavy sandbags, barrels, car pushing, farmer's walks, and as many odd lifts as you can imagine make up Brooks' routines.  He's a 5 time National Champion in sub-masters bench press, so he's definitely not some armchair writer; this guy lives it.

Why do we have a podcast (that doesn't talk about paleo desserts)?

I spoke with Lloyd Kahn today in an attempt to get him to come on the Paleo Treats podcast. Lloyd is exactly the kind of guy whose ideas I want to share with you; well educated, former military (hey, the Air Force is still a part of the military!) and a total sustainable and small footprint true believer.

Episode 22: Pete Scobell, Traumatic Brain Injury, Combat, and Guitar

We asked Pete to come on because of his work with treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and bringing awareness of what TBI is (a concussion) as well as the best ways we currently know to treat it.  Funnily enough, the most advance treatment for TBI sounds an awful lot like the 7 Pillars of Paleo. Pete talks about the National Intrepid Center of Excellence, The Fallen Heroes Fund, and a piece of music he wrote for the movie The Hornet's Nest. Enjoy!
