#88 – How I'm Training Smarter-Not-Harder This Summer

Climb Your Mountain

I used to believe when it came to exercise, more was always more.
Especially for a multisport athlete who is running, backpacking, mountaineering and wanting to be ALWAYS READY TO ROLL at a moment's notice.
Also, as I cruised toward 50, I felt like I needed to work harder just to maintain a certain level of performance.
But this summer, I got tired of being exhausted.
Tired of grinding through my day job.
Tired of feeling irritated with every little thing. (Like I would knock over a can of Seltzer and fly into a rage.)
Tired of starting each weekend adventure exhausted from the last weekend adventure.
Tired of feeling spacey and not fully connected while coaching my clients.
So I did a crazy thing.
😱 I actually cut back my workouts by 30%.
And you know what?
I am absolutely loving the results!
I feel like I'm actually performing BETTER on my adventures.
And having more time and energy for everyone else in my life.
In this week's episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I'll pull back the curtain and share exactly how I started working out smarter and not harder.
We'll go through the full before and after.
(And also why I didn't do it sooner. I had a lot of insecurities about cutting back. But they were just lies my brain was telling me.)
I hope this gives you so much permission to stop grinding and create a more joyous and sustainable fitness life!
