We loved learning about Jared’s company NatureQuant. They’ve mapped the entire United States and you can use their app to track not just how MUCH outdoor time you are getting, but the QUALITY of the outdoor spaces you are spending time in.

| 0:08.3 | And you're listening to The Ready State Podcast. |
| 0:11.6 | You got it. |
| 0:13.5 | This episode of the Ready State podcast is brought to you by Element. |
| 0:20.7 | I was just traveling this weekend at a coaches conference and hanging out with one of my favorite endurance coaches. |
| 0:26.1 | And one of the things we're seeing is definitely a trend of people going along once or twice. |
| 0:32.2 | Yeah, especially because there's been this sort of renewed focus on doing a lot of zone two cardio, especially for people. |

| 1:28.8 | you can put your calories on the other side with a bar or a sandwich or a whole food. |
| 1:33.2 | Yeah, and another big thing for me is that almost all the snacks that you take on long rides |
