After taking a year off due to long COVID, I was excited to make 2024 my most epic summer yet!
Things started off well. I finished a trail marathon in May and was gunning for my first post-Covid 50K in June.
And then bam. Setbacks!
COVID struck again, followed by a drug-resistant UTI. June became a wash, and I found myself off for the entire month.
When July arrived, I tried to ease back into hiking and trail running and realized I had lost a lot of conditioning.
It was heart-breaking. I had so many epic hikes and climbs planned with so many people!
And now I was going to be SUPER SLOW. If I could do it at all.
This week's episode of the Climb Your Mountain Podcast is the story of how I fucking did it anyway.
Slowly.
With people.
With self-compassion.
With self-trust.
We'll cover:
- Why being undertrained isn't always a bad thing (especially for us pressured perfectionists).
- The magic of focusing on one activity at a time.
- How to listen to and trust your body.
- Ways to focus on your whole health during recovery (not just fitness).
- Thoughts that foster self-compassion.
Work With Me:
If you’re a pressured perfectionist who'd not where you want to be with your health and fitness, I’d love to help you shift into a kinder and more sustainable approach.
