Summary

We got white hot and passionate before talking about some wildly cool studies on speed training science, how simple training changes can improve performance for most athletes, our questionable move to a caffeine-free lifestyle (nooooooo!), the power of DNFs in racing and in life, movie reviews and recommendations, and the importance of celebrating everything about mental health (via Taylor Tomlinson's amazing new stand-up special). Plus the usual sexy science! Thank you so much for being a part of this journey! WOOHOO!

Woohoo! Welcome to the Summer Call Play podcast. We are so happy to be with you today. Tuesday!

0:06.0

Freakin' Tuesday! We got sunshine streaming in. It's fantastic. It's countering the fact

0:12.0

right now that we are currently recording on decaf coffee. What is happening?

0:16.0

We have both gone off coffee. So what's happening here for the listeners? Why would we

0:21.0

do such a terrible thing, such a travesty to our senses of being?

0:25.0

Tuesday is the exact word I was going to use. It's like I had this beautiful

0:28.0

scrabble word and you played it first. It is a travesty. I went off coffee for my

heart and I think it's actually helping. I don't know. I'm also on a lot of

medications. So I think it's probably the medications and not the coffee.

0:39.0

If you're if your ticker is malfunctioning a bit, you shouldn't just throw like

0:43.0

nitrous in there or whatever. You should probably let it just chill.

0:46.0

Very true. We also brew sludge as coffee. So anytime anyone comes over

0:49.0

and drinks our coffee, they kind of break out into these unintentional dance

0:53.0

sessions. You have to like walk around the house curiously because they have so

1:05.0

and I will be able to run. That is why I podcast this purely for the sludge.

1:10.0

Very few people go to Starbucks and I like this is weak sauce. That's how I

1:14.0

feel. That's how I feel about our coffee. But we are currently on decaf

1:17.0

in. I don't know. It's feeling okay to me. It's going good.

1:20.0
