Episode 82 — Knox Robinson: Son of Africa, The List and Creating Safety on the Track
After trying to catch up with Knox for the last year, we decided the best way to link would be to jump on Zoom and record. Episode 82 is quite casual as we dive into a variety of topics from Knox leaning into coaching, 'The List' and the experience of creating a safe space on the running track for women specifically. Knox shares about his most recent trip to Africa and how that shaped his purpose and vision moving forwards, a return to writing and all the while targeting sub-2:30 marathon this year. I always enjoy speaking with Knox, the way he thinks and articulates his experience. There is a curiosity, openness and boldness that I appreciate, find inspiring and I hope you enjoy the conversation as well ( Listen Now )
Visiting: Quantum Clinic
Two of the last three weekends I visited the Quantum Clinic, a new spot in Los Angeles focused on frequency healing, coherence and innovative technology. I was searching for a float tank and discovered this place, which introduced me to The Rasha and Scalar energy. It’s been eye-opening, inspiring and super interesting to learn more about these technologies and also get to experience them. If you’re in LA and looking for a relaxing unique experience in a beautiful atmosphere, I highly recommend checking out the Quantum Clinic ( Link )
Maurten’s New Bicarb System
The Maurten Bicarb System does for bicarbonate what Maurten Gel 100 and Drink Mixes did for carbohydrates — use Hydrogel Technology to encapsulate the bicarb and make high doses tolerable for athletes.
Lactate is not the enemy — it’s a fuel source generated during all-out, intense anaerobic exercise. It’s the increase in acidity during these efforts that overwhelms the muscles and leads to exhaustion.
Large doses of sodium bicarbonate counteract the negative effects of the rising acidity, but there’s always been a catch — stomach issues that cancel out any performance gains.
The Bicarb System cracks the code to deliver the smoothest, most effective bicarb experience ever ( Link )
