In this episode of Ask the Coaches, Brock and Lucho answer listener’s questions about knowing your potential as an athlete, what is the way to run downhill, how to not rely on your GPS so much, and the best way to return from a sacral fracture.

But first, the intro banter, updates, and random wisdom…

  • Lucho’s doing MURPH workouts with a 20lb weight vest, but, because that’s not enough, he also shovels his driveway after a snowstorm with the weight vest on. (It’s a military plate vest so he can control where the weight is distributed, and also freak out the neighbors with his getup).
  • Our bodies are hyper-adaptable, and that’s not always a good thing (heeled shoes cause tightening of the Achilles and calf muscles).
  • Isometric exercises are ideal for establishing correct neurological pathways.

Michael Asks:

My question today is how do we know what our potential is as an athlete? I’m 25 years old and feel as though I am a decent athlete but in the back of my mind, I wonder if I could be elite.

In high school, I ran a 5:00 minute 1600m PR but was hardly committed to the sport. I cared more about socializing and would often go play basketball at the local church when we were supposed to be doing our long runs. I would then sprint back to the coach to make it look like I was winded from running. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Total Play: </td> <td></td> <td> 0 </td> </tr> </table> </form> <audio controls autoplay style= Your browser does not support the audio element.
