About this listen

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.
