Boot Stability Versus Foot Mobility
Giving advice on footwear selection is a tricky topic. This is particularly true when it comes to backcountry hunters and mountain athletes. Across the footwear industry, from manufacturers to retailers, there are inconsistencies in the recommendations provided to consumers. Unfortunately, much of t

Maintaining Fitness During Major Life Events
Staying in shape when big things are going on in your life, is an intriguing topic. I’m certain that practically all of us have experience with relocating, getting married or divorced, the birth of a child, a new job, work projects, business deals and trips, and many other examples of major life eve
RPE Versus RTT
Rate of Perceived Exertion versus Readiness to Train. This is a fascinating comparison. RPE describes how hard you are working, and RTT depicts your level of recovery and output potential. These terms are not synonymous, but they tend to (and should) work in parallel fashion.RPE is but one of the ma
How Many Ways Can You Be a Lifetime Athlete?
The title of this post is phrased as a question. The answer to the query of how many ways you can be a Lifetime Athlete is perhaps infinite. Literally, there are many, many forms that a vigorous, vital, robust and athletic life can take. This week we profiled a number of lifelong peak performers on
RPE versus RIR
The terminology we use to describe output levels during training is quite useful. Today we’re going to discuss 2 popular methods of estimating effort. They are Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) and Repetitions in Reserve (RIR). Potato versus Pototto. Or you might say Tumaytuh while another utters Toh
Traveling, Training, LIVING!
I hope you are having a great Spring Break. Maybe you are on a trip. Or perhaps you are staying home and will be traveling on vacation or business at a later date. Either way, it’s great to have a perspective on training for times when you are “on the road.”Training while traveling is a topic that c

12 Weeks to Trek Ready!

That information was utilized in a presentation I had the opportunity to give in the Backpacking Light Trail Days Online seminar.This year I’ll be providing another presentat
Recovery Training Made Simple
The training microcycle that we use most frequently at TLA is the weekly microcycle. In the Training Tribe, and with most coaching clients, I usually program 6 specific workouts in any given week and then recommend a recovery training day as the 7th session. The Lifetime Athlete Ep342 – Re

The Lifetime Athlete 5-3-1 System
This document provides a relatively succinct overview of how we do things at TLA. Historically, I’ve made this available to anyone in our community as a downloadable PDF (that will continue). However, since this guide has been recently revised, I wanted to post it here on the Blog as well is in the

The Language of Peak Performance Training
This is a topic which comes up quite often and it’s definitely worth revisiting. When I am designing programming for a client or group, I’ll often include a “key” in the documentation to explain commonly used terms, abbreviations, and acronyms. Things like DB=dumbbells, BB=barbell, KB=kettlebell, SB

How to Balance Mobility, Strength, and Endurance for Longevity…The Devil’s Triangle!
As opposed to commenting about the Bermuda Triangle or B-rated movies…this is a little op-ed piece I’ve been wanting to put together for quite some time. My version of the Devil’s Triangle involves over 4 decades of experience and observation in athletic and fitness training. It’s a story of temptat
