#73 - Introducing: The Cardio Chats (Raw & Unfiltered)
"Cardio Chats" is a raw, unscripted podcast series recorded during my Zone 2 ruck walks. No edits. No studio. Just real-time thoughts on strength & conditioning, sport science, and high-performance coaching—straight from my head to your headphones.
In this special “Cardio Chats” edition of the Decoding Excellence Show, I’m hitting record during one of my Zone 2 ruck walks—raw, unfiltered, and straight from the heart.
No fancy studio. No edits. Just the real thoughts running through my head while I’m moving my body and reflecting on the work we do in Strength and Conditioning, Sports Science, and High Performance Coaching. This isn’t scripted. It’s not polished. It’s just me sharing what’s top-of-mind—from training insights and performance frameworks to lessons I’m learning, testing, and integrating in real time.
If you're a coach, practitioner, or just someone who’s chasing improvement, these walks are for you. Think of it like grabbing a coffee with a colleague, except I’m breathing heavier and carrying weight on my back.
Whether you’re on your own walk, stuck in traffic, or setting up the gym—this is your behind-the-scenes peek into how I think, plan, and process high performance.
