In this episode I interview Simone, five time world multisport champion. We are both currently injured and this podcast covers our injuries, a little bit about our recoveries and what the future holds for both of us in terms of our sport. It is a great casual conversation covering the ins and outs of being an athlete, being injured and our expectations on ourselves. It's a long one but buckle in, it's full of laughs and fun.

My long awaited recap of the 2025 Kathmandu coast to coast. I chat about my race day, a little bit about my preparation and ultimately how it all came together for a smashing longest day. It's a thrill to be able to race this race, I absolutely love it. I love the training I love the racing and I love the way that pushing boundaries makes us feel so listen in for a great recap of a great race.

In this episode we chat about building blocks and foundations and the time that it takes to do this when we are on a new trajectory for a goal. We chat about how it may not be the timeline that we want and that things may take longer than we expect.

I recently had surgery on my arm and in my recovery, I've had to be in my own new shoes, that also put me into my clients shoes, by learning about timelines goals and reaching targets that ultimately often take longer than we want. I've got to experience what it's like to not be where I want to be, and I have a time ahead of me that's possibly going to draw out longer than I would've ever hoped. It is giving me more compassion for my clients in their endeavour to get to where it is that they want to be.

2024 is the year we changed our vision, goals and offers here at The Rig. We shut down our mobile/ group fitness classes and inadvertently started a gym on our farm. Listen to how that came about, what led us there, what visions we have for the future and to chat about how its ok to change your goals. And just because something doesn't pan out the way you thought it would.. doesn't automatically mean failure either. Maybe your decisions will grow you, and allow others to benefit too.

How our body responds to how we nourish it can be key to our metabolism. Slow, fast.. is often a response. So how do we know if we have a slow metabolism or if its our whoremoans? I briefly explain what can happen when we reduce our food intake on our metabolism and how peri and menopause may also be a factor.

Dan Jones, a Goats Pass guide by day, runner extraordinaire by ... well all the time actually. Dan is humble, kind and extremely talented as a marathon and ultra distance runner. Six time Kepler winner, 5th place getter Western States and UTMB finisher.. we catch up with Dan and chat about his wins, nutrition, and what it takes for him to be the top 1 % of his sport. Epic chats about trails, tips and all the things in between.

We can do hard things. But we also may have deeper thoughts and issues at play. Finding the appropriate help and tools to deal with this is pivotal to how well we can move forward and heal. Don't allow past experiences and trauma to continue to have a hold over you. Easier said than done.. but often what's looking back at us in the mirror isn't what we want to see. Even if its at goal weight......

Why aren't you letting that person have a crack at being you? You can't be the person you want to be if you're constantly shoving yourself in a box. Let go and go get it... you can and are the person you want to be... just nourish yourself and start to allow yourself to see you for who you are. Maybe you've been there all along. x

Trigger warning.. lots of dog movements and sounds and I drop ALL of the F bombs.
