According to Brian MacKenzie, most endurance & ultra-endurance athletes are doing it all wrong. The controversial founder of CrossFit Endurance stopped by the garage to illuminate me further on his perspective — one that slays the sacred aerobic cow in favor of championing focused high intensity anaerobic work coupled with technique and functional body strength. Truth or Fiction? Somewhere in between? Thanks for listening and enjoy. Rich

So after several very nutrition and athlete focused episodes, it feels right to swing the pendulum from the physical back to the more ephemeral and return Julie Piatt to the co-host seat so we can roll up our sleeves and delve into matters less — well, let's say “tactile” — and examine what's behind the blocks preventing us from actualizing those latent dreams deferred that reside within all too many of us. It all starts and ends with creativity. And creativity my friends, isn't just for “artists” — because we are all artists, our lives and passions the expression of that …
