Malcom Gladwell, Coconut Water and Podcasts
TRIBEathlon Podcasts
I first heard of Mitch Phillips, sports editor at Reuters, on the Marathon Talks podcast, where he explained how he achieved a sub 3 hour marathon using the run/walk/run method (aka the Galloway method). Until this time, I had assumed this would be a tactic used for times around the 5 or 6 hour mark, but not for Mitch. In this podcast I wanted to drill down into how he refined the Galloway method and how he finally achieved his goal of a sub 3 marathon using it.
Sports scientist, organiser of Rutland's Dambuster and Vitruvian triathlons and the founder of Les Stables, a purpose built triathlon training camp, Mark Shaw certainly knows the world of triathlon well. In this podcast I wanted to get into the detail of what it takes to organise an event, and how you can best coach athletes to improve their running, swimming or cycling.
TED Talk I’ve Found Interesting
After reading incredible books like ‘Outliers’, Malcolm Gladwell has become one of my favourite authors and his TED talk doesn’t disappoint either. In ‘Choice, happiness and spaghetti sauce’ Gladwell gets inside the food industry's pursuit of the perfect spaghetti sauce - and makes a larger argument about the nature of choice and happiness.
What I’ve Been Drinking
Lockdown has been a great opportunity to drink more… good things and bad! Maybe I’ll feature some bad things in future episodes, but a great thing I have been drinking is more coconut water.
High in electrolytes and antioxidants as well as reportedly being good for your heart, kidneys and blood pressure, the coconut really is the fruit that keeps on giving. I’ve particularly enjoyed Vita Cocos new ‘pressed’ coconut water, as it even tastes great too. If you buy it here, you can use the discount code ‘VITA-TRIBE-15’ for a 15% discount too!
Quote of the Week
“Practice isn’t the thing you do once you’re good. It’s the thing you do that makes you good.”
- Malcolm Gladwell.
Finance Theme I’ve Been Considering
Sorry to hit you with another podcast, but I felt it was worth it. In this month's Fit Finance Sessions, I was joined by partner in Roythornes Solicitors, Mike Matthews. If you are thinking of selling, or buying a business, this podcast is most definitely for you. Mike offers his expert insight into the best ways to achieve the highest price and most lucrative deal for your business, and offers some clear guidance on the best (and worst) ways to achieve a sale that works for you.
