Masters Athlete Rob Arnold

The sports world was shocked to its core this past weekend. As a Celtics fan, I was never the biggest cheerleader for Kobe, but relentless pursuit of greatness was something to behold and extremely inspiring. This episode talks about the mentality he had, along with athletes like Walter Payton, Jerry Rice, and others, to become the incredible athletes they became and how the masters athlete can absorb that mindset for sports, finances, and relationships. 

We've all read what Men's Health and Muscle & Fitness magazines have told us regarding strength training. But the reality is that our training programs need to mimic EXACTLY what it is we are looking for in terms of our goals towards performance. This week I touch base on the basic concepts of strength training and will build to more advanced concepts in the upcoming weeks. 

We've all done it. We've done 30 minutes on the treadmill and then headed off to our strength training session and pumped out some squats, pull-ups, bench press, whatever (or strength THEN cardio...whatever). Well, science shows this isn't the best way to attack your training and in today's episode I'll discuss why you should do these on separate workouts rather than in the same session. This is my first of a series of episodes dedicated to strength training. 

In part three of my series on aerobic endurance, I wanted to talk about the types of aerobic endurance needed for performance and the fuel needed for long slow distance events. 

I ran into a situation this past week where being prepared for a health emergency was of the utmost importance. I talk about that along with a recent study regarding shoes on this week's episode. 

2019 was a banner year for being a masters athlete. With the launch of this podcast, running at the Masters National Championships, and coaching several athletes, I’ve learned a ton throughout this year. This week’s episode i talk about what I’ve learned along the way and what to look forward to for next year.
