What I particularly liked was his concept of first having a relationship to the soil. He uses cattle as a means to heal the ground. He sees himself as a scientist experimenting with animals to renew the land he owns. It's a beautiful thing.

Alopecia Life E031 When You're Ready with Molly TuttleThe first time I saw her perform, I actually looked around to see if everyone else was witnessing what I was. It's the sound and movement of someone who has found the place they were meant to be, and I was so lucky to be part of it. Molly Tuttle's debut album, When You're Ready, released just over a year ago. She wrote or co-wrote all 11 songs, and if you haven't had an opportunity to hear it yet, I encourage you to take a listen. Today, Molly and I talk about music, of course, but also about l...

You can’t treat your body like a car that you take to the mechanic or call AAA when you have a problem. Noone will ever know your body as well as you do.

The Average to Athletic Podcast #27 - STOP HEEL STRIKINGThe first thing that is important to understand is the context for track and cross country. These are their own sports, NOT just supplemental training. Unless the energy system and timing of the event is similar, training to get better at these sports will likely have no cross over to any other sport. Cross country is long, steady distance training. This stands in contrast to the context of almost every other team sport that focuses on high intensity, short duration effort. You can train to be aerobically fit with a high aerobic threshold and a majority of...

However, your core is designed to resist movement and protect the spine. Plain and simple. So anything that works the repetitive motion of the spine, like crunches and sit ups, is basically just loading the spine over and over until the point of injury.
