536: Frank Forencich on Effortless Power and Adaptive Performance
In this show, Frank Forencich explores rhythm, adaptability, and what it means to train the “human animal” in a modern world. We discuss dance and percussion, specialization versus exploration, the costs of screen-heavy living, social movement games, heckling and partner interaction, and the idea of the “long body.” Frank also shares thoughts on effortless action, balancing discipline with freedom, and using environments, objects, and human connection to build richer, more adaptable movement.

535: Cody Bidlow on Simplicity, Speed, and the True Nature of Sprint Training
Cody discusses how his sprint training has evolved toward a simpler, more dynamic, and intuitive approach. He explores the role of tempo running as both aerobic work and a high-volume elastic stimulus, building lower-leg capacity and preparing the body for faster sprinting. Cody also shares thoughts on flexible warm-ups, training around real-life constraints, general-to-specific strength development, resisted and loaded sprinting, and why experimentation and self-awareness can be powerful tools for long-term speed development.

We get into developing Lachlan Kennedy (9.85s 100m dash and Oceanic Record), coaching asymmetry, relaxation and sprint mechanics, game-based speed work, movement literacy, resisted sprinting, tempo training, and why coaches may need to “shut up” more often and give athletes space to self-organize.
