You are listening to five Minute Friday 3 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: from Hurdle. I feel as though there are some new listeners, 4 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: new Hurdlers in the house, so I want to just 5 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: quickly explain what happens here on five Minute Friday and 6 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: five Minute Friday. I just talked to you about something 7 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: that happened in my week, something that made me think 8 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: a little bit, something that I have a takeaway to 9 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: offer all of you from. Then I answer a listener 10 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: question and that's it. It's a quick segment to kick 11 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: off your weekend or you know, whenever you're listening to this, 12 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: I digress this week. I had DMS asking me to 13 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: talk about it, so I'm going to talk about it. 14 00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: And that's my trip to eleven Madison Park. Now I 15 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: don't know about eleven madisone Park. It's a Michelin Star restaurant, 16 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: one of the most famous in New York City. It 17 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: is not cheap to go to. I've lived here for 18 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: almost ten years on the dot and I've been looking 19 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: forward to the quote unquote right moment to go to 20 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: a love in Madison Park since moving here. It's been 21 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: on my bucket list forever now forever. I thought that 22 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 1: quote unquote right moment would literally be like I got 23 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: engaged and then me and this person decided to go 24 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: to a love of Madison Park alas I am single. 25 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: I actually said the other day that I was in 26 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,559 Speaker 1: my mid thirties, and someone on TikTok was like, can. 27 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 2: You slow your role? You are in your early thirties. 28 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: So in my early thirties, and I have adopted the 29 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: mindset that, like everything I want to do in my life, 30 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: why am I waiting to do it until I find 31 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: the right partner. So I've talked about traveling before, I've 32 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: gone out to eat plenty before, but I had like 33 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: this mental block on e love in Medisine Park. Well, 34 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: long story short, I booked Love in Madison Park and 35 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: I booked Love in Madison Park. When I stopped and 36 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: took a look at the last year, I was writing 37 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: down some of my wins from twenty twenty one. I 38 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: was talking about them with a friend of mine, and 39 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: I was like, dude, not saying that you need to 40 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: like spend gobs of money to celebrate yourself. There are 41 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: plenty of ways that you can celebrate yourself on the 42 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: regular that have nothing to do with like an eight 43 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: course tasting menu. 44 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 2: But I was like, you know what, efitt, let's do it. 45 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 2: Let's go. I am ready. 46 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: I need to not let like the way that I 47 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: thought that this would be be the thing that prevents 48 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: me from doing something that I want to do. And 49 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: that holds true in so many things in life, right like, 50 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: there are always going to be opportunities or moments when 51 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: you can do something, you can take ownership over your circumstance, 52 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: you can go try something new, or travel somewhere. 53 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 2: I mean, I could throw out so many examples in 54 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 2: this moment. 55 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: But just because it doesn't look like you thought that 56 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: it was going to look doesn't mean that you shouldn't 57 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: take advantage of that opportunity. Just because something doesn't look 58 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: how you thought that it was going to look in 59 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: your head at one point or another doesn't mean that 60 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: it can't still be great and that you can't take 61 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: advantage of an opportunity as it presents itself. And so 62 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: I did just that. I went and honestly it was great. Yes, 63 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: it was expensive. We did the bar seating. There's the 64 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: regular seating, which is like something over three hundred and 65 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: fifty dollars, I think, and then the bar seating, which 66 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: was under two hundred dollars. Also, bar seating is just 67 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: in a bar area. It is not like you're sitting 68 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: at a bar counter. And I think the difference is 69 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,559 Speaker 1: like four courses maybe we did eight courses and asserts 70 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: and drinks and whatnot, and honestly just at the most 71 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: lovely time. Yes, the food was delicious. They switched to 72 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: a vegan menu this year. They weren't always this way. 73 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: I loved it. It was certainly mushroom forward if that's 74 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: something that you're into. And I know it doesn't stay 75 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: the same all the time, but unbelievable service, absolutely top notch. 76 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 2: Everyone was so attentive, so kind. 77 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: I loved a lot of the dishes, like they make 78 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: part of it at your table. So I would say 79 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: it like, yeah, it's something worth doing, and maybe it's 80 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: something that you put aside a little bit of money 81 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: for every so often, and then finally you have the 82 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: funds and you can. 83 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 2: Make it happen a special treat if you will. 84 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: My prompt for you this week, what is something on 85 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: your bucket list that you've been waiting to do and 86 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: why don't you just do it asap? 87 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 2: What is that one thing on your. 88 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: Bucket list that maybe you've been waiting to do, and 89 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: why don't you just decide to do it asap? I 90 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: guess there's an answer, and then there's a piece of 91 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: motivation there, And now a listener question. 92 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 3: Hi, Emily, So I've heard that you need different sneakers 93 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 3: for different types of workouts long runs, speedwork, and strength training. 94 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 3: Wondering if you could tell us what sneakers you're sporting 95 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 3: right now for each type of activity and why? 96 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 2: Great question. 97 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: Believe it or not, the best workout choose may not 98 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: be your twenty year old running sneakers. Listen, it is 99 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: totally normal to only have a few pairs of sneakers, 100 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: but you should be leaning into a few different types 101 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: of sneakers when it comes to training smart. So wearing 102 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 1: the right shoe for your workout it can be a 103 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: total game changer, not just because you'll perform better, but 104 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: also because you'll reduce your risk of injury. So let's 105 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: break down some of the different types of sneakers that 106 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: you should have in your rotation. First of all, you 107 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: need something for training, So I'm talking about something that 108 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: you'll be wearing in the weight room. That's good for 109 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: everything from lifting weights to doing burpies and box jumps. 110 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 2: This shoe is. 111 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: Going to have lateral support and it's also going to 112 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 1: have less foam than a traditional running shoe, and that's 113 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: because the foam could throw off. 114 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 2: Your balance in the weight room. 115 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: Now, that foam important when we're talking about base mileage 116 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: and running overall. 117 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 2: Right, you want to make. 118 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: Sure that if your foot is repetitively hitting the ground, 119 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: which it will be on the run, then you're giving 120 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: it something comfortable to do that in the amount of 121 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: foam under foot can totally be a personal preference. You 122 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: may want to lean into something like a hookah that 123 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: has a ton of foam. They're known for creating sneakers 124 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: that are great for people with knee problems, or I 125 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: mean tons of other brands to throw into the mix 126 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: here that are going to have a less cushiony experience 127 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: but still provide a really comfortable, cozy experience. Now, when 128 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: it comes to picking up the pace and moving very fast, 129 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: typically you may not be out there for as long 130 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: if you're doing just some quicker intervals. So your sneaker 131 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: choice it won't require as much foam, and it may 132 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: be lighter than a shoe that you would reach for 133 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: if we're talking about running a five k to a marathon. Right, 134 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: the most important thing when it comes to choosing your 135 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: Goldilock sneaker is that you feel comfortable in it, and 136 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: the research shows that. So if you are the kind 137 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,239 Speaker 1: of person who may have a specific gait, maybe you pronate, 138 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: maybe you supinate, maybe you're neutral. If you try on 139 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: a sneaker that doesn't necessarily accommodate quote unquote for that gate, 140 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: but that sneaker feels good on. That is more important 141 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: than shopping just based on how your foot is supposedly 142 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: hitting the ground. Don't just take my word for it, 143 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: although you can. I'll link to the research study where 144 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: they really dive into the nitty gritty of that. The 145 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: last piece to this answer the puzzle here. When am 146 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: I running in right now?
