The word I’ve chosen for 2023 is “reorient.”

In the sense of unearthing and realigning to my “true north.”

It takes genuine excavating and direct action to change paths from what has become comfortable.

The last couple years I’ve focused on exploring and being adaptable.

one thing that annoys me about this age— people coming up with terms for concepts/ideas that already exist so they can “break” the algorithm

call me an old man but it just feels gross. Language already there’s. Definitions exists for a reason. And inability to use already existing terms to contextualize current trends gets us caught in this weird zombie loop

Will get some hate for this, but oh well.

- What’s happening in LA is insane
- People are pissed off for a reason
- People have a right to protest, peacefully
- The violence is ridiculous and unnecessary
- Rioting against local LA government (which is highly represented of Latinos and other underrepresented communities) is dumb
- Immigrants make this country great, especially in California
- People are so desperate to deport the hardest working people who make their lives better - let’s see you do the jobs nobody else is willing to do
- There should be a viable route to citizenship (like there once was 20-40 years ago)
- Citizenship should be available for those who obey the law, contribute to society, and come with good intentions
- The irony behind J6 supporters calling out LA rioters is just wild
- Local media is cooked, any remaining trust & reputation they had is likely lost
- The minority of people using “protests” as a cover for just expressing violence, looting, and destruction should be held accountable — they’re ruining it for the majority who are simply standing up for a cause they believe in
- The broad hate I’m seeing towards Mexicans online is straight up racist — don’t generalize an entire community based on a select group of outliers
-^^ on this last point, y’all know that X replies are public right? Seeing some people who I thought were level-headed (and otherwise respectable), say some really wild stuff online

the point of working out is not to get better at working out

it’s to feel better in life. Your every day

No need to love working out to get the benefits of it.

Get your movement in, keep it moving

Go live life, feel better while doing it

Our 3000+ college athlete members are happy that this conversation is finally being had on this type of platform. @PatMcAfeeShow @KirkHerbstreit @OfficialAJHawk

The time for college athletes to come to the table as partners in the business of college sports has been long overdue. Whether it is collective bargaining or negotiating - our members believe they deserve a seat at the table to negotiate the terms of their play in the multibillion-dollar industry driven by their efforts! @bcope51 @jimcavale @espn @VivalaZito @tyschmit

This is Kevin Kelly.

The close friend Tim Ferriss goes to for advice.

He taught him a philosophy for life that made Tim stop giving a f*ck.

Here's the philosophy:

[Joe Holder @JoeHolder_]

when you start working out again or training hard, one little trick is using low intensity days like easy cardio to still be active but not (overly) increase your stress response especially the day after a hard workout

what this does is not only increase your work capacity (the amount of working out your body will get used to doing) but can also decrease the time it takes you to recover / feel better

you’ll also likely get in shape faster, obviously, as your time working out also increases

Too many people make the mistake of trying to stack hard workouts back to back when their body can’t handle it OR taking too many days completely off / cessation of activity after a hard workout

Below are a couple workouts from this week that I did back to back to illustrate my point

@michaelmiraflor I feel the same but in reverse. After cutting off Spotify in 2018 in favor of Apple Music I can’t bring myself to go back even though I found the personalization and song recommendations based on my preferences to be better.

@DJRTistic Lmao I went to the one in Culver City at 12pm today thinking it was gonna be a smooth process and the car line was out the parking while the walk-in line was out the door. It doesn’t add up! WE SEE THE TRUTH.

[Joe Holder @JoeHolder_]

honestly, don’t be afraid to share your craft / skill and put it out in world for public consumption

you don’t need to grow a huge “following” but you do need a track record of “work”

key here is to get the right eyeballs on your work not just “a lot.” You can find success this way as well

Good work is not always popular but if someone who is popular finds your work, and thinks it is quality, that catalyst can change your life

[Joe Holder @JoeHolder_]

a reason I’m so passionate about people engaging in health / wellness strategies (and give much away for free) is cause it’s clearly one of the last components of your life that is relatively under your control to improve your well-being.

so much else is the result of policy decisions made before you were born or just luck of the cosmic draw

but if you really don’t believe you have 10-30 minutes a day to just ~try~ basic movement, stress reduction strategies, or eat a little better all hope truly is lost

[Joe Holder @JoeHolder_]

small nuance here but this is the wrong question. You really just want to know how to keep speed you can already run at, for longer. Not actually get “faster.”

Seems like semantics but you just gotta work on “speed endurance”

Easiest way is to do is

base/recovery runs - runs of 30-45+ minutes at at an “easy pace” 2-3x a week

tempo runs - holding a speed that’s “comfortably hard” for 5-15 minutes. Rest two minutes. Repeat 3-5x. Do this 1-2x a week

intense interval runs - speed work or VO2 max work. Easiest way for this is to do track workouts. 1-2x a week

Then recovery / prehab / strength work mixed in so you reduce chance of injury risk

Still Nike boyz all the way but this is a good ad

has body positivity / inclusivity but embraces everything including performance + aesthetics + recreation etc while still keeping it specific to running
