Battling the Bonk

1/26/2023

0 Comments

​You’re crushing it in a race or a long run, and then all of a sudden  - BAM - you hit a wall. Your legs feel heavy, you’re all out of kick, your will to go on seems weak; even your brain feels foggy...you’ve bonked!
 
This is one issue almost every runner comes up against at some point - the dreaded BONK! It can happen during a race or even bring your entire training to a halt. 
 
Whether we’re talking about a bonk in a single run, or the complete meltdown of your training effort, most runners will face a point at which they’re not sure they can continue. Either scenario can be very distressing to someone who is putting all the time and effort into training and all of a sudden seeing their hard work seemingly wasted.

When we make personal character judgments about our decisions (“I’m bad.” “I suck.” “I can’t do anything right.”), it can get us stuck and ruminating in an unproductive way on those judgments.

Why You'll Never Achieve Work-Life Balance

8/12/2022

0 Comments

 
The problem with the idea of work-life balance is that it tries to compartmentalize life.
​
​We don’t have a work self and a life self - it’s one self; what happens to one happens to and affects the other.

‘Tis the season for cold weather training! This season can be a little trickier when it comes to training plans, and especially this year where training plans have been a lot more wonky. 

With it getting colder and with races cancelled, finding the motivation to keep training can be difficult - and laying on the couch stuffing your face with junk food may seem like a more fun and viable option.

But if we want to keep up the adaptations from our training this year and set ourselves up well for next year, lounging around and vegging us out is not going to cut it. 
Scroll to the bottom to check out our videos on cold weather training tips!

5 KEY PRINCIPLES TO AVOID SABOTAGING YOUR FITNESS GOALS

9/22/2019

0 Comments

 
These five principles are the main keys I try to emphasize to help people be as efficient as possible with their fitness efforts.  So often I see people killing themselves in the gym and wish I could help them better connect their fitness efforts with their fitness goals.  A lot of what popular fitness trends emphasize are actually in opposition to what most people have as their true fitness goals.  The average adult isn’t really looking to get bigger, faster, stronger.  Instead, most of us are simply looking to get thinner, slimmer, and look better in our jeans.  Here are some key principles which will help you to avoid injury, depletion, fatigue and failure to reach your fitness goals.
