The Endurance Specific Podcast
On today's Endurance Specific podcast Charlotte and I recount our little fastpacking run adventure before we get into dealing with failure, adversity, and simply when shitty things happen especially when you've worked so hard for an outcome.
 
In the last 18 years of being a dedicated endurance athlete and nearly 16 of them coaching, I've never seen a perfect race build but it doesn't mean you cannot have those desired outcomes.

Today Charlotte and I talk about the ideology of hacks that make us believe there is some form of shortcut towards the outcomes we want.

We also cover the uncertainty that many athletes are going through in their training for races right now. And the ultimate question. Is it worth it when we don't know if the race will happen?

Today we talk about setting and getting goals. We use a different framework than the typical SMART goals process. 

Regardless of the system. We need to set them to get them. Goals that are set with commitment give us focus. As we speak about, your goals don't need to be for races just to train but we need goals and need to focus on whats the next step. 

Goals and focus right now are really important to our mental health as well as our physical health.

Every single one of us is going to face challenges both big and small and even seemingly insurmountable.

And there are going to be a myriad of challenges you’re going to have to overcome in order to get anywhere near your ‘life’ potential.

There will be sacrifice challenges, there will be injury and health challenges, there will be life circumstance challenges, there will be motivational challenges, there will be many a mental challenge and the list will go on and on.

The challenges we are all facing right now can seem overwhelming.

The problem is that we’re probably the only organism on earth that truly seeks comfort. We prefer to look for ‘outs’ from the daily struggle instead of embracing it.

We need to lean into the struggles. Embrace them, learn from them and move through them.

If we look to nature – it’s glaringly obvious that life is not easy at all.

Life is HARD and that’s ok.

Nature can give us some great lessons. Today is a short podcast on what we can learn from ANTS.

Enjoy.

Today we are back talking the NO bullshit ways to get good and stay good. We talk about misunderstanding Vo2Max... why focusing on increasing your FTP isn't your best focus and something way more important. How to not fade in the backend of racing.

All this also wrapped up in a listener question about developing muscular endurance.

I recently got to speak with Claudia Sorensen all about fascia, our beliefs, and how injuries show up. We had a really fascinating conversation and if you've had recurring injuries this may shine some light on why (even if you've been doing all the rehab, the stretching, the rolling etc).

Claudia is a Structural integration Rolf Practitioner, an associated member of the Ortho-Bionomy, and a certified yoga instructor.

You can find Claudia at The Little White House in Vernon BC
