Here’s our weekly round-up of fitness content from across the web. Today’s installment is actually a double, making up for last week, which I missed because I was climbing King’s Peak in Utah.
The total round-trip mileage was just shy of 50 miles and completed over the course of 3 days. I’m sure I’ll be posting more about this in the future, but you can see how I trained for this ascent in a two-part article, which you can find here and here.
You can also find Volume 73 of our Featured Fitness Content series here. And now onto this week’s content…

Quote of the Week
This week’s quote comes from Michael Phelps’s coach at North Baltimore Aquatic Club who has gone on to be the current Head Swim Coach at Arizona State, Bob Bowman. I’ve never worked with Bob Bowman directly, but during our Strength & Conditioning for Swimmers Expert Round Table Discussion, Keenan Robinson, the former Strength & Conditioning Coordinator for NBAC was featured as a member of the panel.
You might want to give this a listen (or a re-listen to pull some takeaways on coaching, building a culture of excellence, and more).
