On this episode:

The history of Endurance Planet—did you know this podcast began in 2005 and has been running steadily for 18 years?!
Back then the show was hosted by show founder Kevin Patrick.
Around 2010 or so Ben Greenfield took over Endurance Planet and brought on Tawnee, who started as host in 2011.
In 2014, John and Tawnee fully took over EP and to this day are the show “custodians” as John likes to call it.
We’re getting back to four shows a month!
We vow to keep the podcast mission of promoting health and wellness techniques for endurance athletes, sharing cutting-edge science and practices, and helping you train and race to your potential!
We also will cover topics that may not be for everyone, that may be seen as controversial even, but maybe those topics and ideas are the exact things that some people need.
Science is ever-evolving and changing, and we strive to keep an open mind, be willing to unlearn, to grow and to evolve… and we hope you do the same!
We encourage constructive criticism.
We encourage debate and healthy discourse.
We understand our show isn’t for everyone, that’s ok, too.
Why we think “cancel culture” can be dangerous.
