• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Emily Abadi here coming to you live from
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the AG studio. You are listening to five Minute Friday
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: from Hurdle. I feel as though there are some new listeners,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: new Hurdlers in the house, so I want to just
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: quickly explain what happens here on five Minute Friday and
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: five Minute Friday. I just talked to you about something
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: that happened in my week, something that made me think
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: a little bit, something that I have a takeaway to
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: offer all of you from. Then I answer a listener
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: question and that's it. It's a quick segment to kick
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: off your weekend or you know, whenever you're listening to this,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I digress this week. I had DMS asking me to
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: talk about it, so I'm going to talk about it.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: And that's my trip to eleven Madison Park. Now I
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: don't know about eleven madisone Park. It's a Michelin Star restaurant,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: one of the most famous in New York City. It
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: is not cheap to go to. I've lived here for
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: almost ten years on the dot and I've been looking
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: forward to the quote unquote right moment to go to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: a love in Madison Park since moving here. It's been
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: on my bucket list forever now forever. I thought that
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: quote unquote right moment would literally be like I got
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: engaged and then me and this person decided to go
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: to a love of Madison Park alas I am single.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I actually said the other day that I was in
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: my mid thirties, and someone on TikTok was like, can.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: You slow your role? You are in your early thirties.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: So in my early thirties, and I have adopted the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: mindset that, like everything I want to do in my life,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: why am I waiting to do it until I find
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the right partner. So I've talked about traveling before, I've
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: gone out to eat plenty before, but I had like
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: this mental block on e love in Medisine Park. Well,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: long story short, I booked Love in Madison Park and
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I booked Love in Madison Park. When I stopped and
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: took a look at the last year, I was writing
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: down some of my wins from twenty twenty one. I
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: was talking about them with a friend of mine, and
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I was like, dude, not saying that you need to
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: like spend gobs of money to celebrate yourself. There are
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: plenty of ways that you can celebrate yourself on the
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: regular that have nothing to do with like an eight
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: course tasting menu.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: But I was like, you know what, efitt, let's do it.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Let's go. I am ready.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I need to not let like the way that I
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: thought that this would be be the thing that prevents
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: me from doing something that I want to do. And
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: that holds true in so many things in life, right like,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: there are always going to be opportunities or moments when
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you can do something, you can take ownership over your circumstance,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: you can go try something new, or travel somewhere.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, I could throw out so many examples in
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: this moment.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: But just because it doesn't look like you thought that
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: it was going to look doesn't mean that you shouldn't
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: take advantage of that opportunity. Just because something doesn't look
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: how you thought that it was going to look in
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: your head at one point or another doesn't mean that
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: it can't still be great and that you can't take
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: advantage of an opportunity as it presents itself. And so
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I did just that. I went and honestly it was great. Yes,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: it was expensive. We did the bar seating. There's the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: regular seating, which is like something over three hundred and
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: fifty dollars, I think, and then the bar seating, which
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: was under two hundred dollars. Also, bar seating is just
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: in a bar area. It is not like you're sitting
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: at a bar counter. And I think the difference is
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: like four courses maybe we did eight courses and asserts
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and drinks and whatnot, and honestly just at the most
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: lovely time. Yes, the food was delicious. They switched to
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: a vegan menu this year. They weren't always this way.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I loved it. It was certainly mushroom forward if that's
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: something that you're into. And I know it doesn't stay
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the same all the time, but unbelievable service, absolutely top notch.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Everyone was so attentive, so kind.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I loved a lot of the dishes, like they make
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: part of it at your table. So I would say
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: it like, yeah, it's something worth doing, and maybe it's
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: something that you put aside a little bit of money
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: for every so often, and then finally you have the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: funds and you can.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Make it happen a special treat if you will.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: My prompt for you this week, what is something on
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: your bucket list that you've been waiting to do and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: why don't you just do it asap?
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: What is that one thing on your.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Bucket list that maybe you've been waiting to do, and
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: why don't you just decide to do it asap? I
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: guess there's an answer, and then there's a piece of
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: motivation there, And now a listener question.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Hi, Emily, So I've heard that you need different sneakers
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: for different types of workouts long runs, speedwork, and strength training.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Wondering if you could tell us what sneakers you're sporting
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: right now for each type of activity and why?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Great question.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Believe it or not, the best workout choose may not
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: be your twenty year old running sneakers. Listen, it is
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: totally normal to only have a few pairs of sneakers,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: but you should be leaning into a few different types
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of sneakers when it comes to training smart. So wearing
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the right shoe for your workout it can be a
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: total game changer, not just because you'll perform better, but
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: also because you'll reduce your risk of injury. So let's
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: break down some of the different types of sneakers that
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: you should have in your rotation. First of all, you
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: need something for training, So I'm talking about something that
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: you'll be wearing in the weight room. That's good for
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: everything from lifting weights to doing burpies and box jumps.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: This shoe is.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Going to have lateral support and it's also going to
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: have less foam than a traditional running shoe, and that's
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: because the foam could throw off.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Your balance in the weight room.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Now, that foam important when we're talking about base mileage
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and running overall.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Right, you want to make.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Sure that if your foot is repetitively hitting the ground,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: which it will be on the run, then you're giving
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: it something comfortable to do that in the amount of
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: foam under foot can totally be a personal preference. You
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: may want to lean into something like a hookah that
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: has a ton of foam. They're known for creating sneakers
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: that are great for people with knee problems, or I
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: mean tons of other brands to throw into the mix
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: here that are going to have a less cushiony experience
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: but still provide a really comfortable, cozy experience. Now, when
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: it comes to picking up the pace and moving very fast,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: typically you may not be out there for as long
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: if you're doing just some quicker intervals. So your sneaker
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: choice it won't require as much foam, and it may
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: be lighter than a shoe that you would reach for
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: if we're talking about running a five k to a marathon. Right,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the most important thing when it comes to choosing your
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Goldilock sneaker is that you feel comfortable in it, and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the research shows that. So if you are the kind
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: of person who may have a specific gait, maybe you pronate,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: maybe you supinate, maybe you're neutral. If you try on
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: a sneaker that doesn't necessarily accommodate quote unquote for that gate,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: but that sneaker feels good on. That is more important
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: than shopping just based on how your foot is supposedly
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: hitting the ground. Don't just take my word for it,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: although you can. I'll link to the research study where
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: they really dive into the nitty gritty of that. The
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: last piece to this answer the puzzle here. When am
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I running in right now? I'm mostly running in for
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: fast stuff. The New Balance fresh foam A eighty. I
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: also love a Nike Vapor Fly next percent, the socony
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Anddorphin Pro two is one hundred percent a go to
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: of mine for regular mileage. I cannot get enough always
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: of the New Balance ten eighty. I'm also a big
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: fan of the Nike Pegasus, and last, but not least,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: when it comes to training again, I'm throwing Nike into
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the mix.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: I've been training in their Nike Free met Con.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I feel super supported, super comfortable in that shoe, and
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I feel like when I put it on, it means
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: that I'm ready to go down to the gym and
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I mean business. I will link to all of these
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: sneakers in the show notes, but if you have any
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: other questions, I'm on the hunt for listener questions. I
• 7:55
