Episode 11 Show Notes w/ Coach Jono Blodgett

In this episode learn about a new nutrient timing strategy that goes against everything you heard.  Timing your carbs has been shown to increase performance, specifically endurance performance.  This can be a huge advantage for your Spartan Race Training.  But should you consume carbs after your workout?  This new research might get you to question common practices.

Also, learn how you can master the push up.  No more push ups from your knees.  The only way to get better at push ups is by doing them.  So get off your knees and master the push up wth this awesome strategy.

And finally join me for my SGX interview with Coach Jono Blodgett.   Jono grew up in Hawaii where he was constantly immersed in the outdoors. If the surf was good, then he would be in the waves; but if not, then he would be either under the water going free-diving, or up in the mountains hunting down waterfalls. He specializes in using the outdoors and a variety of equipment to get people out of their comfort zone and moving their bodies in a way they wouldn’t normally move, but also help them to realize that they are capable of so much more.

He has been competing in obstacle course races for the past 5+ years and just competed in this year’s World Champion Men’s Elite division in Lake Tahoe.

Coach Jono gives his insight into how to maximize your training by taking outdoors, unique and unconventional training tools, and some nutrition strategies to help you with your training.
