Afternoon Snack

In this episode, Alex and Meredith sit down to talk about Fast Twitch Endurance, their new training program for runners and cyclists looking to build both their aerobic capacity and their strength in the gym. Strength training is becoming more popular in endurance sports, not just because it prevents injury, but because there are some real performance enhancing impacts too. But only if it's programmed properly, which represents a growing pain in both training methodologies as endurance coaches tend to program underwhelming strength sessions and strength coaches opt for non-progressive aerobic work. Fast Twitch Endurance represents the culmination of years of experience as strength and endurance athletes AND coaches. They do it, they study it, they know it and now they are bringing it to YOU to help you prep for a spring race and bank some winter fitness to take into the summer. Applications for Fast Twitch Endurance open on October 15th and close on October 25th. Spots on the Fast Twitch Roster are very limited so make sure you hop on the waiting list so you don't miss out on first dibs. You can join the waiting list here.

This is our very first collaborative episode between Afternoon Snack and What's the Rusch, bringing Rebecca Rusch onto the show to launch our Summer Streak Challenge together. Rebecca is one of the most inspiring people on the planet. She is a true leader in sport, performance, mindset, and philanthropy. There are very few people who accomplish what Rebecca has and still strive to do more in the space - most specifically in giving back to those around her. In this episode we explore why motivation shows up after you act instead of before it, how the right amount of stress builds growth while too much burns you out, and what happens when training data starts running your life instead of supporting it. We discuss the four types of motivation, the tools that pull you out of a demotivated spiral, and the launch of our Summer Streak Challenge, a joint habits challenge between our coaching business, Tactic Functional Fitness, and the Be Good Foundation. Every dollar raised goes toward the Be Good Foundation's girls and women mentorship program at Rebecca's Private Idaho, pairing young women with experienced mentors in cycling, bike mechanics, and action sport photography and videography so they can build real skills and find their own places in the outdoor and sports industry.

In this episode, we dive into the 5/3/1 Strength Training Program that has been the backbone of the Tactic Fitness program for almost 12 weeks. It was designed by Jim Wendler, a world class power lifter and renowned coach. But just because the 5/3/1 program was developed by an elite athlete doesn't mean it's not for you. In fact, 5/3/1 may be one of the best if not THE best training programs for people of all backgrounds. You will learn about the core philosophies behind the program, how the progression works, and why it combines so well with functional training. If you've been doing our programming for a while and loving 5/3/1, you'll learn why in this episode. If you are new or on the fence about jumping in, we hope this convinces you to take the leap. If you are just here to learn about strength and conditioning, you will learn a lot too! 💪 Train With Us: Get access to expertly designed daily workouts at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.tacticworksout.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🥦 Need Personalized Nutrition Support? Work 1-on-1 with a coach to tailor your nutrition to your goals at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.tacticmethod.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💥 Want More? Get bonus episodes, exclusive content, and behind-the-scenes access by supporting us on Patreon 👉 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/teamtactic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

To Grit or To Quit? That is the question. Quitting is an essential skill. It takes courage and honesty in reflection to be able to see a long view of where you're going and step off of certain paths, even when it is an uncommon or even taboo decision to make. Today's episode talks about the skill of quitting, when it may be the right decision for you, and how to know the difference between being gritty and just being stubborn. 💪 Train With Us: Get access to expertly designed daily workouts at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.tacticworksout.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🥦 Need Personalized Nutrition Support? Work 1-on-1 with a coach to tailor your nutrition to your goals at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.tacticmethod.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💥 Want More? Get bonus episodes, exclusive content, and behind-the-scenes access by supporting us on Patreon 👉 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/teamtactic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
