    Concussion Fundamentals with Dr. Eliza Sampey (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Steve House talks with Dr. Eliza Sampey, a Doctor of Physical Therapy specializing in brain injury rehab, former professional endurance athlete, and concussion survivor herself about why mountain and endurance athletes so often underestimate head injuries, and what science-backed recovery actually looks like. Dr. Sampey explains that concussions are especially easy to dismiss in the backcountry because the injury is invisible and athletes are conditioned to push through pain. She walks through t

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Steve House sits down with elite mountain athlete Kílian Jornet, calling in from his home in Norway, for a wide-ranging conversation about what draws people to high-risk mountain pursuits. They explore mountains not as a destination but as a sense of home and identity, the fine line between earned confidence and dangerous complacency, and how fear and euphoria can each distort decision-making in exposed terrain. Jornet reflects on his upbringing; being "born into the mountains," his mother's nig

The conversation moves through his systems-thinking background (a Stanford PhD in AI app

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Steve House sits down with Hunter Allen — cycling coach, co-creator of TrainingPeaks, and co-author of Training and Racing with a Power Meter — for a wide-ranging conversation on training technology through the lens of the hype-adoption-disillusionment cycle. They trace the power meter's unusual "trickle-up" adoption (from data-driven amateurs to pros around 2008-2009) before working through today's landscape: HRV as a life-stress signal, the limits of wrist-based sleep tracking, the untapped pr

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Max King is the only American ever to win both the World Mountain Running Championship and the World 100K Championship. He joins Steve House for a wide-ranging conversation about identity, competition, and longevity in endurance sport. Max traces his path from a chemical engineering degree and Cornell track team to Olympic Trials appearances in both the steeplechase and marathon, his accidental first ultra the week after a disappointing Trials prelim, and his eventual move into trail and mountai
