Shout out to the unicycling FoCo Fondo racer today 👏

[Griffin McMath, ND, EDAC @drgriffinmcmath]

Old Town, Fort Collins has been buzzing louder than ever all weekend with the sound of the FoCo Fondo riders getting ready. 🚴‍♀️ Good Luck to all today - and have a blast. So glad the rain died down at the perfect time 👌

Horses, swords, and women who volunteered to ride clear saddles without pants for research… this episode was packed with info I was NOT expecting when talking about what gear to invest in. Great conversation with @lennardzinn and @Coach_TConnor on #FastTalkPodcast.

Dr. Griffin McMath and Lennard Zinn discuss cycling gear essentials on the latest episode of Fast Talk 🚵

First time I’ve run with anything strapped to my chest. Wasn’t sure if I was going to like it, but @GarminFitness - the HRM-Pro Plus is so comfy. Feels like a cute lil’ hug if even noticed at all.

How you talk to yourself matters.

In one study on lifting weights, goal directed self-talk "enhanced performance by 43% once an RPE of eight was reached, resulted in 63% more repetitions, and demonstrated more efficient muscle activation patterns."

On this week's episode of #FastTalk our hosts tackle: what to do when struggling to hang on to a wheel, the overall goal of training, and how to handle sudden GI issues during a long run.

My topic on this week’s @fasttalklabs potluck is about a big fear of mine: Not being able to control GI function during a long race. I ask the guys what to do when this happens, we explore the physiology behind it, Rob and Grant share their stories, and all give tips to prevent it. https://t.co/OBQ314CMrG

Race is 16 weeks away and my “for real, for real” day 1 started with a base run tonight: 30 min with an RPE of ~2-3. Nighttime runs can feel so good - even when you’re dressed like a neon highlighter and have pockets stuffed with safety whistles and the like (just for you, Mom).

[Griffin McMath, ND, EDAC @drgriffinmcmath]

“Normal or nah” except I don’t care either way… part of onboarding with Coach @RobertPickels entailed giving dates of anything that training had to be planned around. Sent him not only a list of all the concerts and camping trips, big days and celebrations, travel plans, but also hyperlinked every concert to the actual music in case he wanted to check them out. Never miss an opp to share good music.

[Griffin McMath, ND, EDAC @drgriffinmcmath]

It’s official - I have a coach! And not just any coach, it’s @RobertPickels. Feeling really grateful to work with one of my favorite humans as I start training for my first multi-sport endurance event this fall. Much of this (down to the lifestyle) is new to me, and I couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity to be guided, challenged, and supported by Rob throughout the process. Stay tuned 😎🙏

Grant Holicky’s newsletter hits different this week, sharing takeaways from a car ride chat with his son following their family home being destroyed in a fire. Check out the newsletter here: https://t.co/dM9pbnYLJG

definitely not as cool to see the final score of nuggets losing from your phone before takeoff, but hey, I’ll take the memory of the cheers, the jokes amongst strangers and fans, and the collective smirks watching others check their phones for how late they can arrive to their gate

[Griffin McMath, ND, EDAC @drgriffinmcmath]

Tonight was one of my favorite travel experiences. I watched the last half of game 7 at MSP ✈️ where restaurants and bars kept their TVs on (despite closing) with crowds of travelers watching from outside their barriers. Sat between a D1 ref and a diehard @nuggets fan at the first bar and stood among a crowd of @Timberwolves fans in the terminal hallway after that. Not sure any of us boarded when we were supposed to, but no regrets - and - all is fair in love and basketball? Well, maybe not for the ref or the agent at the gate… but for the rest of us.

As a part of our work in testing out new spring recipes, a couple months ago our team hiked to an amphitheater overlooking Boulder for a picnic with these hot honey chicken and waffles… 10/10 recommend giving this recipe a try 😩

[The Paleo Diet® @ThePaleoDiet]

Springtime is right around the corner, which means more picnic weather!

One of our favorite Paleo-friendly picnic dishes is #HotHoney Chicken and Waffles. They pair excellently with Banana Boats and Beet Hummus.
