Athlete

Ah

... uh, like three minute later, a pack of athletes.

So I did not pace myself well.

I could have finished easily in top seven that year.

And so how do you...

When, when, when people, for a run club that's been around, like yours has, for such a long time, Adzy's Athletes-

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm

... you got all, you got, you got merch.

You've got your drink bottles.

You've got your singlets.

You see, and people might have seen Adzy's Athletes competing in events.

What do you say to someone who turns up to your run club for the first time? Who maybe like me five years ago, all I, you were the only person I knew out there.

Welcome back to "Life in Stride Podcast." This is episode 372.

On this episode, we had a banter episode with our good friend Ryan Sosnowski, Life in Stride athlete on the pod as well.

We talked about Scotty's peak long run results on his Wahoo Kickr treadmill.

We talked about the new Tier and Run Supply super shoes that are hitting the market, uh, and listed what marathons we think would be the secondary major marathons if there was that, and much more.

Nice.

Okay, so yeah, I guess-

I, it's one of my athletes to another one of my athletes.

I, like-

So I think that terrain management is a huge unlock for, for athletes.

athletes.So, um, at our, at our center in San Francisco, we're, um, we're bringing on a couple of new cycling instructors.

One of the cycling instructors is the very first pro athlete that I ever coached, Max, Tyler Stewart.

And, uh, and for folks that have a long memory in the sport, Tyler Stewart was a fearsome bike rider.

It's a thing underneath everything else he does.

Jesse Dale, an athlete builder.

Back at it.

Welcome back, my friend.

And I always have given my props to God.

And what I mean by that is I lean on him deeper into the scripture because it's such a grueling process.

Any of your high-end athletes, they all go through a grueling process.

So bodybuilding is no different.

I feel like there's just been quite a few examples of performances being at the Sydney marathon and actually prior to that, that some like pre slash postpartum performances, like we feel like they should have felt more inspiring and like, admittedly they clearly were for a lot of people, but we wanted to unpack whether we essentially didn't find like these things didn't land as like super, super inspiring and, And we wanted to chat about whether that is like because of us just having that like comparison mindset slash like tall poppy syndrome in a sense or whether there's something in particular that influences which category these achievements fall into.

yeah in terms of like being inspired by it versus just being like oh I just I actually just feel worse about like I feel like demotivated by that and we also like we wanted to try and make it really clear up front that this we want to have a discussion about the impact of these performances without actually discussing whether the achievements in themselves are like good or bad or right or wrong like yeah we are very in the camp of like these people can do whatever they want that is all completely fine it's not trying to examine their choices just sort of the effect of them when shared in different ways in particular but we'll talk through some examples of what we're actually meaning we're being very abstract right now but looking at like high profile runners or elite athletes So maybe let's give some examples.

Do you want to give some examples of different performances that fall into the same category, but maybe like landed with us in different ways? Maybe there's some examples of people who were like pregnant and racing hard.

Yeah.
