Ep. 264 - What's On My Mind: Southern States 200, My New Weight Vest, Moab 240 Training


Listen Later

This week, I’m diving into TWO big topics: my upcoming adventure at the Southern States 200 and my experience with weighted vest training. Let’s go!

Southern States 200  
I’m heading out Monday to help my athletes get prepped, dial in aid stations, and strategize for the race. I’ll be pacing, crewing, and soaking up all the race vibes! Want behind-the-scenes action? Follow my IG/FB stories! 

Weighted Vest Training 
Why am I doing this? Because I love a challenge (and I have some climbing goals). I’ll break down my experience so far—what vest I got, what I love (and don’t love), and why it’s NOT a substitute for real strength training. Yes, it boosts cardio, helps with climbing, and strengthens your legs for descents, but there are some key things to consider before jumping in.

Moab Training Update  
Slow and steady! I’m playing the long game—balancing mileage, strength work, and self-assessment to make sure I don’t burn out before Moab. Training Peaks is my secret weapon!

Hit play, and let’s get into it!
