Author: Dr Chris Frykman April 7, 2016 Duration: 1:06:14

Today’s Guest, Brock Armstrong, is a podcast veteran.  Ifirst learned about Brock on the first podcast I listened to, BenGreenfield’s show.  Now I listen to a number of shows, in factI like so many different shows for different reasons that when Ipile my audiobooks on top of them, I rarely have enough time in aweek to listen to everything I want to.  But as I said, backthen Ben’s show was the first one I listened too and I enjoyedit.  Brock, I later learned, was editing the shows as well buthe was also the co-host.  And he and Ben sorta hammed it up ina casual way but spoke about some really cool topics if you’re intofitness and recovery and such like I am.  I reached out toBrock some time later and found out he’s worked with a lot of thegreat podcasts in the fitness and nutrition area with names likeMark Sisson, Endurance Planet, Dave Asprey (if you don’t don’t himby name, he’s the bullet proof coffee guy) and others.  Sobrock has been on tons of podcasts as well as behind thescenes.  and he’s soaked up a ton of info in the areas offitness, nutrition, and recovery.  He’s now running Skywalkerfitness and helping athletes with programs ranging from triathlonto running, to strengthening.  Brock is graciously offering a50% discount on a coaching consult.  Just email him andmention the discount code “vibrant”, and you can talk to Brock forhalf the usual rate.  I’ll post Brock’s emails and websitesand such on the show notes page for this episode.  You canfind all that at www.drchrisfrykman.com/skywalker. His email isbrock@skywalkerfitness.ca.  

 

For those of you who are regular listeners of my show, you knowthat authenticity is a big value of mine and Brock doesn’tdisappoint.  We both discuss some of our own challenges withsleep routines, anxiety, what works for us and what doesn’t. We also talk quite a bit about loving what you do and checking inwith yourself (or your coach if you have one) about why you’reracing, if you’re racing.
