Harris may have been born and raised in New York City, but she has Tennessee roots through her father and has spent much of her life split between homes in the Northeast and the South – specifically New Orleans. For more than fifty years, she has been a college professor, a writer, and a lecturer, and her many books have earned her a reputation as an authority on food of the African Diaspora, as well as a lifetime achievement award from the James Beard Foundation. A few years back, Netflix adapted her book, High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America , into a 4 part docuseries. And I’m very proud to say that she’s a longtime contributor to Southern Living with a regular column called The Welcome Table. This episode was recorded in the Southern Living Birmingham studios, and Sid and Jessica talked about her mother’s signature mac and cheese, the cast-iron skillet she’d be sure to save if ever her house were on fire, and her dear friend, the late New Orleans chef Leah Chase.

Rather than simply leaving race day flow state or a high level of motivation to chance, Dr Frey has developed tools that athletes can use to condition their minds in a way that cultivates a state of high performance with intent.

The Coin Part 2 - Ep166 In this walking podcast I unpack more about the concept of The Coin and the influence of our emotional state on our riding and racing. In medical QiGong, we understand that the emotions reside in the organ system. If we are unaware of this, it can be problematic. The first rule of athletics is to Know Thyself and this means understanding your own emotional state. Witnessing emotions is the first step in claiming agency over your adult life. Without the willingness to look at our own emotions, we remain a child. There are many children walking the planet in adult bodies. Those who do not learn from the past are condemned to repeat it.…

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThoughts on the Teeter Totter of Cadence and Torque - Ep 164 Most often, riders associate making power with pushing harder on the pedals. The sensation of the bottom of the shoe providing resistance against the plantar surface [bottom] of the foot is how the sensation of “going hard” is processed. However, speed on a bicycle is dictated by the complex interaction of weather [including wind, temperature, pressure and humidity], terrain, inertia, riding surface, and the output of the rider. Output = power, and power is comprised of two components: torque and cadence. Thus, in certain conditions, it is advantageous to be able to make power by pedaling faster, not only by pedaling harder. If your only strategy to make more power is pushing harder on the pedals, at the expense of any capacity for triple digit cadence, your abilities as a rider will be limited.…

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedPre-50, Post-50 Relationship to Cycling - Ep160 In this walking podcast, I unpack my thoughts on training and how it might differ for athletes younger than 50 vs older than 50. On a previous podcast, I spoke to Phil Cavell about his book The Mid Life Cyclist, which also covers this topic. My thoughts are around Intensive training vs extensive training, but perhaps not in the typical sense they are discussed in cycling lexicon. Concepts I consider: I really don’t like the “getting old sucks” mentality. I think it is regurgitated bullshit. Repletion instead of depletion. Training objective is experiential vs. exhaustive or maximally stimulative. Think with more depth and sophistication than no pain no gain or more is better. I think while it is tempting to push a bit more on days when you feel really good, more often is it better to keep it dialed back a bit and finish with a bit in the tank. When we zoom out and look at the big picture, it is far more common to be treading water or a bit under water in terms of the total load of life + work + travel + training, so when we are feeling like we have a surplus of energy we don't need to spend it immediately. Additionally, younger riders are working with a higher level of anabolic hormones than us old people. Perhaps you will find my thoughts useful, this is always my intent.…

Tyler was a member of the US National Archery team for about a decade, and a lifelong athlete. He has spent the last 10 years making the world’s first barefoot style cycling shoe that is mass produced. They just started shipping the first model, The Leviathan, about a week ago as of the time of this recording. They generously sent me a pair to test although they only arrived a few days ago, so I haven’t had a chance to ride in them just yet. That said, the fit is very much shaped like my foot and I am excited to give them a try in the wild. Tyler describes part of his inspiration for making the shoes was listening to Phil Liggett commentating for the Tour and talking about riders “dancing on the pedals” when climbing out of the saddle. We speak about the importance of training feet and ankles to be strong and stable, and how this is important in all athletics. Tyler’s experience as an archer led him to discover the significance of the conditioning and tone of his feet, and how it impacted his ability to hit the center of the target. I am sure you will find his journey insightful. Links: Strong Feet Athletics Website ►► https://www.strongfeetathletics.com/…

Relationship to Cycling - Ep151 In this final walking podcast for this year, I ask you to consider what your relationship is to cycling, and does this relationship serve you? I unpack a few archetypes of riders I have worked with and raced with over the years. Everyone has their own relationship to the sport. From my perspective, there is no “right” or “wrong” way to relate to cycling, this is a child’s perspective. We can think past The Disney Bias, everything in life is not good or bad. In fact, most things aren’t. That said, I think some people are likely playing out unconscious programming while they practice sport. This won’t lead to anything good in and of itself usually, although it can medicate your problems to some degree. I would offer that most will be served by looking inwards at the true reason why the practice cycling, or any sport. The only way to do anything properly is with presence, which gives reverence, and with consciousness. Otherwise, you might as well just live someone else’s dream.…

We speak about the Japanese form of pottery known as Kintsugi, in which a broken bowl or vessel is repaired, and the glue is layered in gold leaf. Rather than attempting to conceal old wounds, traumas or fractures, this method seeks to highlight the returning to wholeness that happens in the process of healing.

Movement is a River - Ep 139 During this walking podcast I discuss the idea that all movement is like a river. I offer that we must direct and cultivate the qualities of the river of our movement with a specific intent, or this river will be wild, untamed, and end up in the wrong place. I offer this analogy to help people understand that their daily movement patterns impact their movement in sports, and their movement in all of life. I also offer some practical takeaways to help direct the river of movement into a more optimal fashion. Movement is a daily practice that requires attention, embodiment and awareness.…

Saddle Forward! - Episode 138 This walking podcast is a commentary on two different perspectives about forward saddle positions that have been floating around in the intersphere. They got me thinking so I figured I would drop some thoughts on this topic. The first discussion is around an article Dan Empfield posted on his website slow twitch dot com. I agree with some of what Dan says, and some of it I don’t. I am glad he wrote the article as it helped clarify some ideas in my mind. The second is a video on you tube on a channel called Peak Torque. This guy has some wid theories about why Pogacar has his saddle so forward and I think he is pretty off base. He also explains why he likes to put his saddle nose down and has been telling other people to put their saddle nose down. There are multiple logical fallacies in his reasoning. I call it like I see it. I hope you find this discussion useful. Thoughts? Hit me below. Let’s have a discourse.

1 Three Attributes of Cyclists - Ep 137 1:12:05

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThree Attributes of Cyclists - Ep 137 In this night time walking adventure I speak about the three characteristics a cyclist must have in order to express their highest potential as an athlete. The episode is inspired by conversations with Jonathan Vaughters about what it takes to be good. His list included 1) Marathoner 2) F1 Driver. He has a video about this in our Team EF Coaching education portal. JV says you have to have a big engine, and be able to drive a bike. I agree, and I would offer a 3rd item to this list: 3D chess. Meaning: a cyclist can’t just corner like a maniac and drop watt bombs. They have to selectively, intelligently choose when to utilize their strength. This is what differentiates cycling from Marathon running or swimming events: cycling is a sport that is heavily influenced by the size of the athlete’s engine, but it is also influenced heavily by physics and terrain [read: mostly draft effect and hills] which change the weight of the variables that influence performance. My gripe with many modern coaches and athletes is that they over train the engine and neglect the other aspects. Even worse, they really only focus on one particular aspect of the engine. This makes you one dimensional and opens numerous possibilities for race day failure. These concepts don’t only apply to competitive elite or World Tour riders; they apply to all riders at every level. A bit of artwork is included to help you conceptualize these ideas as I am teaching them. Do you agree? Think I am wrong? Did I miss a major attribute? Comment and let the world know.

Locavore - Episode 135 Today’s conversation is with Craig Taber from Locavore Delivery. Locavore works with the highest quality farms across the front range of Colorado to deliver meat to your doorstep. We speak about the relationship between scale and environmental impact in an economically driven market, the convenience of Amazon, and the boundaries and belief systems people put around meat. Craig unpacks some of the misunderstandings around store bought meats and the challenges of being a consumer who shops at modern super markets. We offer some practical takeaways for shoppers and some philosophical nuggets about health and wellness that you will hopefully find insightful for you and your family. About Locavore: “We offer pastured meats from a growing community of local ranchers that really do things the right way. We are proud to offer farm tours to all of our suppliers on a regular basis, so you can see for yourself how we do things. That is a level of transparency that mail order meat companies just can’t offer and a level of quality that grocery stores can’t touch.” Links: Locovore Website ►► https://locavoredelivery.com/ Locavore on Instagram ►► https://www.instagram.com/locavoredelivery/…

Go For A Walk - Ep132 This episode of Cycling in Alignment is about the most fundamental pattern of human movement: Walking. Old school cycling would command that riders stay off their feet but I would offer that this is an old ideal that should be lit on fire and kicked off a cliff. Walking is an absolutely essential aspect of the human experience and one that is easily taken for granted. Without proper gait patterns, many basic movement are compromised and at best daily life becomes impractical; at worst, it becomes impossible.

The point I am making specifically is about how modern training has become dictated by head units and power zones, and why this is problematic. Riders assume that they are more productive or will make greater gains by following a precise workout plan or description but I would offer this is incorrect. Training is best guided by sensation and intuition, based on understanding of the athlete’s goals and objectives. Many modern riders don’t like this because this method is perceived as nebulous or imprecise. Links: Contribute! ►► https://www.colbypearce.com/podcast/…

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedForging, hardening, quenching, sharpening – Ep129 This episode is a discussion of how the creation and construction of a Japanese samurai sword, or katana, is an excellent analogy for training in cycling. I break down these concepts in parallel so we can have a better understanding of how cycling training is performed in the proper sequence, and I explain how and why modern cycling is attempting to bypass this sequence to the detriment of the athlete. Phase 1 Initiation: Start with sand: this is you at the start. Raw material. Apply heat. Heat is the equivalent of intention. A dream, goal or objective. Yin vs Yang. Heat is masculine, cool is feminine. The dream is what gives drive to the training, it crystalizes intent. Shape the dream. Phase 2 Hardening: Hammer molten steel. The initial training: repetition. Not super hard, but hard enough to shape. Too hard and you will shatter the molten steel or flatten it. You want to shape it, not shatter it. This is endurance training. Cover with mud to prevent oxidation. Smelt - stick pieces together. You can’t see the metal, you judge when it’s’ ready from the color of the fire and from intuition. The color of the fire is training intensity - Intuition = feeling of when it is time to remove from the flame Phase 3 Purification: Fold the steel many times to get out the impurities. Folding = intervals. “Strike while the iron is hot”. Adjust the carbon content of the steel. This takes lots of work and power. At lunch, the sword makers hands may be shaking. If you stop half way through, the sword will break. The process must be complete. It’s a battle against the heat: heat is the dream, you are shaping the dream and working with it. “Pray and move your feet” “Dream and move your ass” If you miss a hit on a thin sword, it becomes dented and damaged. You must strike with precision. Final shape is decided so concentration is required. Finish with clay - this is applied to form the Hamon pattern, which comes out when the tempering is done. Apply the clay to the metal, this creates the Hamon pattern, which indicates the hardened steel from the spine of the sword, the cutting edge. Each Hamon pattern is unique to each sword. This is your exact expression of fitness in a given race: your speed, reactivity, ability to execute tactics, corner, sprint, climb, endure. The clay is heated to 720-800 degrees C, then plunged in water repeatedly. This is when the soul is infused in the sword. The curved nature comes out, as the sword warps during quenching. This is the final process that makes the sword both flexible and unyielding, the blend of these two attributes gives it true cutting power. Phase 4 Sharpening: Blade is sharpened. Final step. A sword sharpener studies for 10 years under his master. It takes 2 months, 8 hrs / day for 6 days/ week to complete one Katana. It is a difficult, honorable task.…

How to Pedal a Bike V3.0 - Ep128 In this pod, I discuss the importance of proper and correct form again. I get a lot of questions on this topic, so thought I'd revisit it. SEATED: Like you are on a flat pedal. Push early in power phase. Do not pull up. Axial extension of the spine. Feel shoulders depressed and retracted. Vertical movement of diaphragm, 360 deg expansion of lower ribs. Head over foot during periods of higher torque. Less head over food during higher cadence. Rotary model: IABH, lateral aspect of the foot. Fifth metatarsal. Not done with orthotics or support, tension must be intrinsic to the system. Otherwise we are isolating joints. All prostethic devices weaken the system. All human movement is rotary. STANDING: Head over foot. This rocks the bike. Narrow bars ruin head over foot. Trainer riding ruins head over foot. Push early in power phase. Do not pull up except in a sprint. Pull on ipsilateral bar. Hips and shoulders are relatively quiet. Bike moves under the body. when this doesn’t happen, you look like you are on a stair master. Weight is more forward over BB. Arms may be bent more or less, depending on intensity, grade, cadence. Standing can be used for increased power or recovery. In order to use it for recovery, weight must fall on the pedal. See point #1. Links: My Website/Podcast Page ►► https://colbypearce.com/podcast…

Here, I reflect on my own state of health and strategies I have employed with myself and my athletes to spring back to full vital capacity.

Both can be factors in illness, however a person with robust physical health and life force energy can stay healthy even in an environment with multiple challenges.
