Ep 104- Margin of Safety Part 1
Those who've poked their noses into the world of value investing will recognize this term, but we're not talking about stocks.... we're talking about YOU and your training!
In this episode we use the comparison of the 3 kinds of stock traders:
"Flash Boys" (a la Michael Lewis's book)
Day Traders
Value Investors
to help get across to the 3 different kinds of endurance athletes:
Tech Geeks/ Super mathematicians
Evidence Based
Know Thyself
And how through better self understanding of what kind of endurance athlete you are, how you can best guide yourself to better build in a Margin of Safety in your training, by training less, and focusing on the things that help you most.

Ep 102- Learn More From Old Things
Over the last 15 years or so, there has been a strong tendency to only rely, or to rely heavily, on the newest, latest, and supposedly "greatest". . . but in doing so, many coaches, athletes, and general health & fitness folks have missed out on the huge wealth of knowledge that has been accumulated to date.
Certainly, some things we have learned from experience are not as useful or applicable as previously thought, yet many other fundamentals have been learned, refined and practiced to far better levels than what those in modern society would.
NEW dominated old, and once we have used something, read it, or learned it through a passing or two, it's on searching for the next new idea or thing.
In todays episode we talk a little about the importance of re-reading or re-taking old courses, finding sound information in books of yesteryear, and internalizing the truth that: There is very little or nothing new under the sun, and in our micro-focused world, we tend to miss out on easy wins and important details in the macro.

Customer Reviews
Learning strength and philosophy
I am enjoying the insight Coach Brodie and his guests have about training and the philosophical angle brought to it. I’m a process and analysis of the big picture person when it comes to my training and this right up my alley.
Thanks!
Really enjoying the podcast. Weight training is my new focus for 2020 and I’m learning all kinds of good things to fix my posture and hopefully make me faster
Menachem Strong and Savvy Podcast
I became aware of Menachem through an article on strength training he wrote for a cycling media outlet. He seemed to be espousing the virtues of heavy strength training for cyclists (in a specific way - not general) which pushed back on many myths and traditions that have permeated endurance sports. I just started listening to some of his podcasts. The material is good; he can get redundant , but that is a small constructive criticism. There seems to be far more coaches than athletes these days. The onus is on the athlete to differentiate the good from the bad. Menachem seems authentic about his passion to help people and this quality to me is of the highest importance. My biggest pet peeve which coaches is that a large number of them criticize what other coaches are doing whether they are right or not. An authentic coach should be confident in her/his approach without the need to weigh in on what others are doing. Also, and lastly, when a coach thinks they know everything about their field - run away. Menachem encompasses (at least from the periphery) many excellent qualities of an authentic coach.
