Climb Your Mountain

Has your nutrition completely derailed and jumped the tracks in 2020?

If you notice yourself carrying a bit more weight around these days, you're not alone.

There's nothing like a global pandemic to get us all stress eating and glugging wine.

I'm definitely not immune to this. I've run two ultramarathons in 2020, and I actually somehow managed to gain a few pounds through all that training.

The good news is that it's never too late to get back on track.

So in today's episode, I'm going to show you how to calculate the right daily intake of calories and macros for your lifestyle. And also how to track your eating with a phone app so that you don't explode your brain doing too much math.

Ready? Let's do this!

Are you dreaming of climbing Kilimanjaro or trekking to Everest Base Camp, but discouraged because you live in Florida or Iowa or another super flat place?

You may be asking yourself, how the cheese balls do I train for high altitude mountain hiking when I live at sea level?

Friends, if you're dreaming your mountain hiking dreams in the flatlands, this episode is for you.

Today I'm going to share with you the workouts that helped me prepare for big mountaineering trips while living in Cleveland, Ohio (which is flat) and Bangkok, Thailand (which is below sea level).

I can't promise you it will be fun or easy. But is it possible to train for mountain hiking in the flatlands? 110 percent.

What if you had the power to instantly energize your body, speed up your recovery, reduce stress, and boost your motivation?

Well, here's something crazy. You have that power inside you right now.

And it's not something you can access easily with your thoughts.

The easiest pathway to get to those deeper states of healing and well-being is through your breath.

In today's episode, I want to introduce you to the mind-body practice that totally transformed by training life.

It's called breathwork, and I just can't recommend it enough.

We'll talk about some of the benefits, and also try out a short breath pattern so you can get a taste. Ready? Let's go!

Think you need to spend four hours chopping veggies and cooking every night in order to eat healthy?

Dude, who has time for that?

Maybe Suzy the Instagram influencer does, because that's her full-time job.

But if you have kids, a career, a training schedule, and a dog that needs walked, you need to cook smarter, not harder!

So in today's episode, I'm gonna walk you through a simple weekly meal prep routine to help your fuel your adventures the fresh and healthy way.

What do you do when you plan, train, work so hard ... and then it all comes crashing down, due to an illness or injury?

How do you cope when you're not sure when or if you'll ever get back to that active lifestyle you love?

Friends, if you're going through this, I see you, I feel you. I've definitely been down there in the shadows where you are.

And I wish I had a quick fix. But the truth is, this shit is hard.

And ... sometimes it's the hard stuff that helps us become more resilient, more compassionate, and more aligned with our soul's purpose.

So today on the pod, I'll share some coping skills that have helped me during the tough times.

So grab a pen and paper, and prepare to take some notes!

If you work a 9 to 5 job, we're coming into the part of the year where you go to work in the dark and come home in the dark.

For us outdoor athletes who love to train outside, that's a challenge, even in a normal year. And this is not a normal year, because thanks to Covid, a lot of us simply aren't going to the gym.

So how the cheese balls are we supposed to stay in shape if we don't have 20 gazillion dollars to spend on a Pelaton?

Well friends, I promise you, we are going to get through winter 2020 together.

In today's episode I'm going to share my top 11 tips for training in the cold and dark. So grab a pen and a piece of paper and prepare to take some notes!

Are you tired of being the hardest-working hiker among your friends — and still the slowest one on group hikes?

It's so unfair.

But the truth is, hiking a lot doesn't necessarily translate into speed on trail.

The good news is that making a few tweaks to your workout can really ramp up your speed. And it can happen relatively quickly.

So if you want to shock your friends (and delight yourself) by morphing into a speed demon, this is the episode for you.

We'll cover:

• Why getting faster shouldn't be your first priority, especially as a beginner
• What physical adaptations make a hiker faster
• How to get faster by ... hiking faster (it's intuitive, but so many people miss this one)
• The magic of the heavy backpack workout
• Why steep, gnarly terrain is your friend (sometimes)
• Why losing weight won’t automatically translate into speed (though it sometimes helps).

So grab a pen and paper and prepare to take some life changing notes.

Think you don't have the time or money to live a life of adventure? Then maybe it's time to get out of your own way! 

Believe it or not, most of the limitations in our lives don't come from outside of us. They actually come from our own heads. 

And the good news about that is that once we're aware of them, we can release them. 

So in today's podcast episode, I'm going to share with you my 9 rules of living a life of adventure.

Warning: listening to this episode may inspire you to sell all of your possessions and walk across Mongolia with $20 in your pocket. 

And actually, that sounds like a lot of fun. 

So buckle up, here we go!

Almost every week, I get an email that goes like this:

Sarah, I dream of hiking the AT or climbing Longs Peak or (insert your dream here), but I'm 50 pounds overweight, and I need to slim down first.

Friends, as an inclusive fitness coach, nothing makes me sadder than when you put your dreams off because you think you're in the wrong body.

I actually worked with a client whose previous coach told her that in order to climb her mountain, she had to "look the part." WTAF?

Here's the truth.

We're all carrying around years of negative programming about weight, performance, and what outdoor athletes should look like.

And it's all bullshit.

So in today's podcast, I want to inspire you to start training today.

At the weight you're at. In the body you're in.

You are beginning at the exact perfect place. So let's do this!

Are you following a training plan that you got out of a book or off the internet — and realizing it's not working for you?

Maybe it's making you tired or hurting your joints. Or maybe you're just not getting the results you want.

If you're in this boat, let me assure that I've been there too. I've felt the frustration — and also some burning rage at the training plan creator.

And I'm also here to tell you that, in most cases, whatever is going wrong can be fixed.

So in today's episode, I'll share some common training plan mistakes. And then I'll show you some best practices to help you use training plans the right way.
