Oops I did it again

• Less than 7-8 hours of sleep for many weeks in a row.
• Too much refined sugar and processed foods from traveling for a few weeks consecutively.
• Pushing too hard in training, despite my body telling me I was fatigued and needed more TLC and less 200 repeats at the track (despite my goal to get back to running faster).

All of these things I coach my athletes on and here I was not practicing what I preach.  I named my company Full Circle Coaching for a reason and please notice the Yin-Yang in the logo and my tag line; “Where Performance Meets Balance.”  When I had the opportunity to start over with my new company 5 years ago, I wanted to make sure I was implementing all the things I had learned over the previous 15 years of coaching, training and living that got me where I am today, happy, healthy, strong and fit.  The key component being BALANCE between working OUT and working IN.  I like to remind myself that life is about finding that balance between too much and too little of everything!  I like to see myself riding the wave of that balance, constantly course correcting as needed, to stay on top of the wave all the time, not just for a final destination or goal (although having a goal can help us get focused). The good news is I was able to implement all the strategies for nutrition, working IN and supplements needed to dig me out of the hole I found myself in. I like to train hard, I like to race and compete and I want to be able to do that and have the energy to be the best Mom for my 9 year old daughter and my growing company.

In 3 weeks, I am pain free in my hamstring and back to full, amazing energy by taking a ton of recovery days, not days off but days to rebuild my foundation with low heart rate movement, holistic nutrition, a few supplements that I swear by and of course including my daily mediation, EFT and working IN.

The hamstring pain is 100% gone after I implemented my tried and true strength program I created specifically for running injury free.

So, based on what was going on with me and what I hear my athletes struggling with as well, I am offering 2 programs this month.

The 1st will be an online 6 week course where I review all my holistic principles and how they apply to triathlon training. Many of you have been asking me for just the nutrition course but spreading the information out over a few weeks will make it simpler to implement and more comprehensive.

The 2nd program is my Running Essentials 101 and 102. This 1 day running intensive will include total body running strength exercises as well as a run test and training zones.
