Rebecca Rusch - Motivation, Movement, and the Summer Streak
Saison 2 · Épisode 79
mercredi 29 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:10:30
This is our very first collaborative episode between Afternoon Snack and What's the Rusch, bringing Rebecca Rusch onto the show to launch our Summer Streak Challenge together. Rebecca is one of the most inspiring people on the planet. She is a true leader in sport, performance, mindset, and philanthropy. There are very few people who accomplish what Rebecca has and still strive to do more in the space - most specifically in giving back to those around her.
In this episode we explore why motivation shows up after you act instead of before it, how the right amount of stress builds growth while too much burns you out, and what happens when training data starts running your life instead of supporting it. We discuss the four types of motivation, the tools that pull you out of a demotivated spiral, and the launch of our Summer Streak Challenge, a joint habits challenge between our coaching business, Tactic Functional Fitness, and the Be Good Foundation. Every dollar raised goes toward the Be Good Foundation's girls and women mentorship program at Rebecca's Private Idaho, pairing young women with experienced mentors in cycling, bike mechanics, and action sport photography and videography so they can build real skills and find their own places in the outdoor and sports industry.

All About 5/3/1 Strength Training and Why It's Probably Right for You
Saison 2 · Épisode 78
jeudi 16 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:12:56
In this episode, we dive into the 5/3/1 Strength Training Program that has been the backbone of the Tactic Fitness program for almost 12 weeks. It was designed by Jim Wendler, a world class power lifter and renowned coach. But just because the 5/3/1 program was developed by an elite athlete doesn't mean it's not for you. In fact, 5/3/1 may be one of the best if not THE best training programs for people of all backgrounds. You will learn about the core philosophies behind the program, how the progression works, and why it combines so well with functional training.
If you've been doing our programming for a while and loving 5/3/1, you'll learn why in this episode. If you are new or on the fence about jumping in, we hope this convinces you to take the leap. If you are just here to learn about strength and conditioning, you will learn a lot too!

To Grit or to Quit? - On the Courage and Commitment of Letting Go
Saison 2 · Épisode 77
jeudi 9 juillet 2026 • Durée 50:05
To Grit or To Quit? That is the question. Quitting is an essential skill. It takes courage and honesty in reflection to be able to see a long view of where you're going and step off of certain paths, even when it is an uncommon or even taboo decision to make. Today's episode talks about the skill of quitting, when it may be the right decision for you, and how to know the difference between being gritty and just being stubborn.

The Unbound 200 Race Recap: Lessons in Persistence
Saison 2 · Épisode 74
jeudi 18 juin 2026 • Durée 01:29:02
What a year it was for the most famous gravel race in the world, Unbound. Set in Emporia, Kansas in June, it's not a question of if you will ride in bad weather, it's a question of when. And after two dry years, Unbound was due for a wet one and boy was it ever. The conditions may not have been ripe for speed but they sure were ripe for lessons and opportunities to overcome challenges. Meredith rode the 200 mile distance for the second time this year. In this episode, we talk about the lead in and race day - what went well, what didn't go so well, and what you can come back from if you're just willing to try.
Great job to everyone who toed the line in Emporia, it was an epic, memorable, and challenging day!

Hannah Simms on The Fernie Gravel Grind, Women in Racing, and Where Gravel is Going
mercredi 27 mai 2026 • Durée 43:28
Hannah Simms is on the show today! Hannah races gravel and MTB for Kona Bikes and The Easton Overland Team. And as impressive as she is on the bike, she is equally impressive in her work on the events and marketing side of things for Anything Goes Event Series who puts on our hometown race, The Fernie Gravel Grind. If you've done this race, you already know how special it is and no, it's not just because of the party! This was a really cool conversation that drifted from elite competition to mindset to events and back and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Oh and if you fancy riding bikes with us and many others in the Tactic community, consider joining us in Fernie in July to take on the Fernie Gravel Grind! You can find more on that race here: https://anythinggoeseventseries.com/

Gone Phishing - Taper Tantrums and Sleazy Scammers
Saison 2 · Épisode 71
mercredi 20 mai 2026 • Durée 57:57
With the Calgary marathon and Unbound 200 coming up, we (Alex and Meredith) are both in full on taper mode. Tapering is one of the most effective ways to get the most out of your training leading into a race but it doesn't happen without some mental and sometimes physical difficulty. This episode covers the science of tapering and how it works in practice.
And in the spirit of mentally challenging situations, we tell the funny and emotionally fraught stories of Meredith's recent experience with scammers.

mercredi 6 mai 2026 • Durée 01:28:56
Today's episode is for the die hards - those people in our community who have been following along with Meredith's concrete court saga. It's the facts versus a completely fabricated AI hypothesis. She serves up justice, hot and ready! But will it be enough to win this small claims case?
If you are just jumping in, don't worry! There is enough background included to get the gist of the concrete fiasco. And this story is just too ridiculous not to share.
