Physical Friday - The Importance of Friends - Episode #673

A recent study from YouGov showed that 18% of men do not have a close friend and 32% say they do not have someone they could call a best friend. Additionally they say 20% of dads loose closer friends in their first year of fatherhood.

I feel very fortunate to have a wonderful family and group of friends but for many people that isn’t the case. It’s extremely important to have close friends you can talk with about hobbies, health and life. If you are lucky enough to have a close group of friends, send a text today and let them know you appreciate them. It’s not weird, it’s just what friends do.

Physical Friday - The Importance of a Taper - Episode #670
Physical Friday - The Importance of a Taper - Episode #670

Often we talk about training hard to reach your goals but it’s also important to keep in mind the impact of a taper. A taper allows athletes to rest and recover and be fresh on race day. Additionally, showing up to any event healthy and uninjured is far better than attempting to make more gains and showing up with some sort of compromised mobility.

We discuss how top coaches and trainers advise tapering for an event as I am tapering for an archery elk hunt that I have been training for.
