2/5/2024
In this episode, we are joined by Derek Toshner. Coach Derek is an accomplished mountain man and coach who believes that training for hard things helps us find a greater purpose. He uses all-terrain/functional fitness to help athletes build a foundation of strength first (to avoid injury), and then layers in endurance once that foundation is well established. The final layer of Derek’s program is mindset training to provide the motivation to push through the difficult moments that always come when doing something as hard as 29029. Derek was a 5x NCAA national champion in track and field (3x 400m hurdles and 2x 4x400m relay), and competed at the USA World and Olympic Team Trials from '03 to '05. Derek is a StrongFirst Certified Master Instructor and the Co-Founder, with his brother Ryan, of TNT Fitness Results.
