Alec breaks down his pursuit of a sub-2:30 marathon while holding serious muscle, training alongside Paris Olympian Yaseen Abdalla, and surviving sodium bicarbonate's most brutal side effects.Alec Blenis is a hybrid athlete who has been chasing the sub-2:30 marathon while maintaining elite-level strength. In this episode he lays out exactly how he got there: doubling weekly running volume to 75 miles, outsourcing his programming to coach John Davis to kill decision fatigue, and training on treadmills next to a guy who ran a 2:11 in Paris. The interference effect is real, but Alec explains how adaptation eventually brought strength back online. He also speaks on his unorthodox fueling, drinking a liter of OJ a day and over 400 grams of sugar total to maintain his training.From there, things get weird in the best way. Tim and Alec break down backyard ultramarathon psychology through Mark Dowdle's 5-day performance in Germany, dissect trainer Joel Seedman's Instagram content connecting 90-degree squats to theology, and then unload a stacked Q&A covering high-carb marathon fueling strategy, unilateral vs bilateral training, hybrid athlete training split design, HRV usefulness for athletes, endurance training for heavy runners, treadmill stiffness vs road running, and whether mental toughness drills are actually overrated.If you are running a marathon while lifting heavy, training concurrently, or just trying to understand the interference effect without losing your mind, this episode has you covered.Produced byQ6 Mediahttps://q6.mediaTimestamps:00:00:00 - Introduciton00:01:41 - Alec's Running Background and Sub-2:30 Marathon Goal00:07:04 - Marathon Benchmarks, Coaching Value, and the Interference Effect00:12:48 - Training with Yaseen Abdalla and Mitch Ammons00:18:23 - High-Carb Fueling: OJ, Sugar, and Surviving Austin Heat00:27:18 - Backyard Ultras and Mark Dowdle's Psychological Warfare00:35:36 - Joel Seedman's Eccentric Isometrics and Theological Squats00:46:14 - Tim's Best and Worst Qualities00:50:06 - Unilateral vs Bilateral Training00:52:11 - Session Flow vs Exercise Ordering00:53:30 - Building Muscle Under High Endurance Fatigue00:55:04 - Smartwatch Metrics and HRV Skepticism00:59:01 - Structuring a Hybrid Training Split01:00:45 - Sodium Bicarbonate Side Effects01:06:33 - Weekly OJ Totals and Apex Australia Plans01:09:16 - Single High-Volume Run vs Spreading Weekly Mileage01:10:06 - Endurance Training for Heavy Athletes01:15:02 - Heat Acclimatization and Overrated Mental Toughness Drills01:20:07 - Treadmill Stiffness vs Road Running#HybridAthlete #ConcurrentTraining #AlecBlenis #CoachEmUpPodcast #MarathonTraining #InterferenceEffect #RunningAndLifting #EnduranceTraining #Podcast #StrengthAndConditioning

  The Secrets to Getting Fast, Jumping High, and Winning Life with JASON ROTGER | Ep 129 08.09.2026 1sa 34dk

From a near-fatal BMX crash at 15 to Division I decathlon at FIU, Jason's story is as wild as his coaching methods. He dropped his own 100m from by ditching heavy squats, and he'll tell you exactly why your weight room obsession might be killing your speed.Jason Rotger went from BMX national rankings to pole vaulting, then earned a D1 scholarship as a decathlete at Florida International University. Along the way, he dealt with ankle surgery, a torn labrum, a supraspinatus tear, and a sprint plateau that had him squatting 435 lbs at 175 lbs bodyweight and still running an 11.8 hundred meter. The fix? He stopped squatting and started sprinting. That single shift dropped his time almost immediately.This episode covers the how to run a faster 100m debate head-on, the real role of plyometrics for sprint speed, timing gates as a non-negotiable coaching tool, 40 yard dash start technique, and how to improve broad jump distance fast. Jason also breaks down decathlon training volume, pole vault physics, and why sprint coaches need to invest in timing equipment for their athletes. He also opens up about completing his first full decathlon post-college without injury.

From Liberia to the Olympic blocks, Matadi's story is as wild as his 40 time in Timbs.Matadi didn't start taking track seriously until his junior year of high school. He was too busy playing football, wrestling, and figuring out how to survive as a Liberian immigrant in Minnesota. Then he casually smoked the fastest kid at his school in a race and the rest wrote itself.On this episode, Emmanuel and Tim go deep on how to run faster in the 100m, why most youth sprinters burn out before they ever peak, and how the old-school method of running 400m repeats until athletes puke is the opposite of what athletes need. Emmanuel breaks down his phase-by-phase sprint cues, why tense muscles are slow muscles, his love of resisted hill sled work over overspeed, and how 8 hours of sleep a night is the ultimate recovery tool.They also get into the Enhanced Games, where Matadi ran 9.95 at 35 years old and had to address years of steroid accusations head-on. They also explain the science behind fast twitch muscle fiber training and why preserving Type 2X fibers into your 30s and 40s matters more than any 5K you'll ever run.Produced byQ6 Mediahttps://q6.media00:00:00 - Introduction00:01:15 - Matadi's Background00:06:23 - High School Football, Wrestling, and How Track Started00:11:08 - New NCAA Eligibility rules and NIL00:17:56 - JUCO Grind vs. Pro Sprint Programming00:27:26 - Trackflation, Youth Burnout, and Why Off-Seasons Matter00:32:27 - The Mental Side of Sprinting00:36:22 - Racing in Three Olympics00:43:16 - 100m Race Strategy, Acceleration, and Sprint Mechanic Cues00:46:58 - Recovery Protocols, Weight Management, and Off-Season Lifting00:52:21 - Line It Up 40 Tournament and the Enhanced Games Experience01:03:22 - Longevity, Fast-Twitch Fiber Training, and APEX Philosophy01:15:37 - APEX Miami Breakdown01:19:38 - Crocs 40, Phase Cues, Bulgarian Split Squats, and Plate Marches01:28:43 - Youth Mechanics, Peaking in Long Seasons, and Rant n Rave01:37:06 - Unsolicited Advice and Closing#EmmanuelMatadi #CoachEmUpPodcast #SprintTraining #HowToRunFaster #EnhancedGames #SprintMechanics #FastTwitchTraining #TrackAndField #ResistedSprinting #OlympicSprinter

Q brings his 4 level COD programming framework and zero patience for coaches running circus tricks with reaction lights.Q is a former UNC lacrosse national champion, exercise physiologist, and Doctor of Physical Therapy who now coaches out of Austin and collaborates with Dr. Katie Dabrowski on the Confusingly Jacked program and a comprehensive COD Program Guide. In this episode, Q draws a hard line between pre-planned change of direction training and true open field reactive agility, explains why deceleration ground reaction forces run 2 to 3 times higher than acceleration, and lays out exactly how to move athletes through Return to Participation, Return to Play, and Return to Performance phases without blowing them up.Q also torches the coaching mistake of substituting circus tricks like reaction light games for real cognitive perceptual training, walks through the model for deceleration kinematics, and breaks down how to calculate a COD deficit using the 5-10-5 drill. If you work with athletes and you are still debating whether COD work belongs in your programming, this one settles it.Topics include change of direction vs agility, reactive agility drills, biomechanics of deceleration, eccentric deceleration drills, return to performance continuum rehab, microdosing change of direction, the 4 level COD programming framework, and catastrophizers vs confronters in physical therapy.Produced byQ6 Mediahttps://q6.media00:00:00 - Introduction00:01:45 - Q's Background, Adult Lacrosse at 3500:10:31 - Change of Direction vs Agility00:13:56 - Bridge Between the Weight Room and the Field00:17:01 - Reactivity Spectrum and the Reverse Marilyn Monroe Principle00:25:43 - Circus Tricks vs Real Cognitive Perceptual Training00:32:01 - Deceleration Biomechanics00:46:25 - COD Testing and COD Deficit Calculations00:54:06 - Return to Participation, Play, and Performance01:00:15 - The 4-Level COD Programming Framework01:15:36 - Microdosing COD Work Into Your Weekly Routine01:21:15 - Confusingly Jacked Program with Katie Dabrowski01:29:21 - Non-PT Coaches, Confronters vs Catastrophizers, Pain Management01:38:11 - Why Novel Exercises Cause Soreness, PT School Reality02:03:17 - Clamshells and OVR Force Plates02:10:33 - Heat Shock Protein Sauna Myth Busted#CoachEmUpPodcast #ChangeOfDirectionTraining #DecelerationTraining #ReactiveAgilityDrills #SportsPhysicalTherapy #StrengthCoach #ReturnToPerformance #QuentinWilley #AgilityTraining #PhysicalTherapyPodcast

Tim Riley and Zack Zillner dig into Ben's wild journey — from MCAT prep and Teach for America, to building a volcano compound in Costa Rica, farming through COVID, and working in the NBA — before landing on his new venture, Biomolecular Athlete. In this episode, he dismantles some of the most pervasive myths in the performance world — testosterone optimization, biohacking culture, and the obsession with chasing biological mechanisms over real output.Ben breaks down why obesity is the number one driver of low testosterone, why androgen receptor sensitivity matters far more than serum testosterone levels, and why women can build comparable relative muscle mass to men despite having a fraction of the hormone. He also shares his evolution from authoritarian coach to 'Sherpa', how Self-Determination Theory explains the gap between knowledge and action, and why the best coaching often means doing less.Produced byQ6 Mediahttps://q6.mediaTimestamps:00:00:00 - Introduction00:01:41 - How Dr. Ben House Changed Tim's Coaching Career00:07:00 - Ben's Origin Story: Sports, MCAT & Hating Clinical Medicine00:10:45 - Teach for America, Austin, and Finding the Fitness World00:16:19 - Biohacking Skepticism & What Actually Drives Adaptation00:19:10 - The Costa Rica Volcano Compound & Farming Through COVID00:30:00 - Memphis Grizzlies Tenure & Leaving the Internet00:42:25 - Coaching Philosophy Evolution00:49:22 - Sobriety, Obsession & the Gap Between Knowledge and Action00:56:50 - Building Ecosystems Over Willpower01:12:56 - Testosterone & TRT Reality Check01:21:57 - Obesity, Leptin Resistance & Why Your Testicles Are Inflamed01:30:42 - Sleep Myths & Why Women Can Match Men's Gains01:44:41 - Chasing Mechanisms01:50:35 - Unsolicited Advice#CoachEmUpPodcast #DrBenHouse #TestosteroneMyths #Hypertrophy #StrengthCoaching #NutritionalScience #BiomolecularAthlete #AndyGalpin #FunctionalMedicine #Podcast

He digs into VBT, identity-based branding, in-season periodization, and why your athletes might be getting slower because of how you're training them. Plus Joe drops some of the most quotable lines in Coach Em Up history.He opens up about coaching female athletes at OU and how it completely reshaped his character — patience, temperance, the whole deal. He also breaks down why personal brands that win aren't selling information — they're selling identity, feeling, and community. If you coach and you're trying to build something online, this section alone is worth the full episode.On the training side, Joe goes deep on Velocity-Based Training. He explains the difference between effort and exertion, breaks down minimal voluntary thresholds for squats, bench, deadlifts, and more, and explains exactly why letting your athletes train at high exertion levels converts fast-twitch Type 2X fibers to Type 2A. He also covers his king metrics — Propulsive Net Impulse and Peak Relative Propulsive Power — and why usable strength is the only strength that matters.Throw in Daily Undulating Periodization for in-season, a critique of program hopping, audience Q&A, and a hilarious urinal story involving Joe Girardi, and we've got a great episode on our hands!Produced byQ6 Mediahttps://q6.media00:00:00 - Introduction00:02:30 - Coaching Female Athletes & Life Transitions00:07:33 - Personal Brands Sell Identity, Not Information00:12:13 - Time Management, Capacity & Business Systems00:19:33 - Mentorship & Belief Systems00:25:44 - Evaluating New Training Methods & Volume Load00:30:47 - Velocity-Based Training00:39:03 - Velocity Loss & Fast-Twitch Fiber Conversion00:43:36 - In-Season Training & Daily Undulating Periodization00:50:08 - Usable Strength & King Metrics00:53:10 - Stop Program Hopping01:00:40 - Q&A: Dictator Mode, Social Media & Elbow Issues01:04:09 - Pro vs. College Coaching & Building an Online Brand01:09:02 - Faith, Introspection & Business Foundations01:11:07 - The Coach's Frame01:14:15 - What's Next for Joe Pedulla01:17:36 - Three Things, Rant & Rave01:24:53 - Resisted Sprints & Submax Training01:28:12 - Urinal Advice#CoachEmUp #StrengthCoach #VelocityBasedTraining #JoePadulla #StrengthAndConditioning #AthleticPerformance #SportScience #OnlineCoaching #PodcastForCoaches #Podcast
