About this episode
This episode is with Skratch Labs founder, coach, and exercise physiologist Dr. Allen Lim. In his mind, Allen is no different from most people: a complicated person with very simple needs. After a long career in the professional cycling industry, Allen applied his sports science skills to founding and growing Skratch Labs, a sports nutrition company and Boulder-based cafe. When he’s not wrestling with emails, Allen prioritizes taking care of himself, his family, and friends.
In this episode we talk about:
- the world of professional cycling
- exercise science to solve problems
- founding and growing Skratch labs sports nutrition
- consistent habits for improving performance
- work-life balance for sustainable success
