GROW GRACEFULL Your monthly infusion of good stuff

Hello Reader,

I hope you're well and springy! Feels good to finally train in the light again, hey?!

I'm excited to share with you another batch of GRACE from this month's musings and experiments - not least in the realm of AI. In recent weeks I've used it to help create training and rehab programmes, technique analyses, presentations, book summaries, magazine articles, awkward emails, codes of conduct, go-to-market strategies, pitch decks, promo videos and their scripts (see example below). The list goes on. There definitely still needs to be human input with all these (a 25km 'warm-up' in 2:55/km for a weights session is not advisable!), but on the whole, I've found it incredibly empowering, exciting and time/headspace saving! See the Grow section for a rundown of one of my favourite free tools: NotebookLM.

As ever, read on for up-coming events and hidden discounts🤫. Be great to connect...

Go Gracefully,

Right, prepare to have your mind blown.

Anyone else have a 'Resources to Read' or such-like folder? Mine has steadily grown over the years into something that would require a sabbatical to get through... until now!

​Cue NotebookLM. I am in the process of uploading all the pdfs, article links, documents, YouTube video links, website etc into my 'Biomechanics and Injury' note. From these 'sources' I can then select the ones I want and ask questions pertaining to them - or it will suggest ones for you e.g. How do different biofeedback modes and parameters compare regarding effectiveness for gait retraining across various populations?
​(NB this article it produced doesn't link to the sources as I have to add you to the note for you to see them - still fully figuring it all out! 😵‍💫)

And then if you still 'don't have time' to read what it produces, there's the option for it to create a podcast from it with AI hosts... 🤯

And it's all free! You just need a Gmail account.
