Co-founder and executive chairman of Netflix Reed Hastings gets an annual 360-review via written assessment to which any employee can contribute. He wrote about his 2019 review in his book No Rules Rules: Netflix and the Culture of Reinvention, observing, “I find the best comments for my growth are unfortunately the most painful.” In a memo to employees, he thanked them for pointing out how he skipped or rushed over topics he felt weren’t worth the time. He recognized these observations were, “So true, so sad, so frustrating that I still do this. I will keep working on it.” Leaders…
Formula E’s 2023 world champion Jake Dennis has been chasing a second title with Team Andretti, racing on tracks across the globe in locations such as Jeddah, Miami, and Monaco. Now readying for action in Jakarta, the 6’ 2” driver managed to stay still long enough in order to talk training with M&F, revealing some of the challenges that taller racers face. “Yeah, I’m probably a bit too tall to be honest,” jokes Dennis, the British driver who first began racing with karts aged 8 and never looked back. “It definitely has its limitations. Obviously, the biggest one is fitting…

There comes a time in every long-distance runner’s life when they, begrudgingly, have to run a fast and short 5K race. As a running coach and marathoner, I tend to avoid these like the plague, but when I got the opportunity to run the BAA 5K during Boston Marathon weekend, I couldn’t say no. However, I was coming off a knee injury and needed a shoe that would support my joints for my first race back—that’s where the Adidas Adizero EVO SL sneakers come in. Adidas Adizero EVO SL Adidas These cushioned running shoes are everything a runner (and walker)…
Often, we think of personal records as the act of lifting a heavier weight or making that extra rep, but for many, being stronger than yesterday simply means reducing our pain and improving our mobility. Jeff Bailey has dedicated his life to yoga since 1985 and has taught more than 13,000 classes in the process of developing “Avita Yoga”—a discipline that is firmly focused on restoring joint health and all-round mobility. Bailey found himself wrestling with some of the theories behind traditional yoga right from the start. “The word ‘yoga’ actually means ‘to join,’” he tells M&F ahead of June…

The first time I counted my macros, I think I lasted six hours. I was 18 years old and bitten by the nutrition bug. I didn’t just want to go deep on being healthier — I wanted to be perfect. Back then, there weren’t apps. Just online tools that now feel laughable by today’s standards. But I used those tools, studied every label, and weighed out my oats like a scientist trying to cure a disease. By lunch, I was stressed. By dinner, I was doubting whether the banana I added to my protein shake needed to be logged in…
When the summer heat rolls in, there’s one place every family gravitates to: the pool. But this isn’t just a spot for lazy floats and cannonballs. With a little creativity, your backyard pool can transform into a high-energy training ground for the entire family. Pool workouts deliver a full-body burn without the impact of land-based training.
