Mark is back! You may remember Mark Bottenhorn from Episode 6. We brought him back to discuss how and why the group he's coaching is thriving in training through the Covid-19 quarantine. Mark discusses how to train for longevity in both training and life. The importance of dis-associating from your races and results. Holistic nutrition for both the athlete and the planet, and so much more. We dive deep into the different philosophical and tactical approaches to training and what methods will not only get your results, but keep you healthy and keep you in the game. It's always a pleasure to speak with Mark, and I know you are going to enjoy this one.
