Live a healthy, adventurous life
Hellooooooo!
Well, 2020 has felt like a million years and it's not even halfway through. It's been a hectic few weeks for us, and I'm sure it has been for all of you as well. Hopefully you're staying safe and spending time focusing on what really matters, but also carving out some time to spend out in nature and getting in some miles in whatever form you prefer.
We're excited that things are opening up in the outdoor industry a bit more, and we've been able to run and ride in small groups again. I'm (Molly) able to start doing some local outdoors yoga classes, and I'm stoked on that, even if it does mean getting up even earlier than the puppy in order to host the best class for busy moms! And if you're local-ish around Collingwood, Ontario, and hoping to work on MTB skills this summer, Peter is starting to run sessions again! Info on that is right here.
Stay safe,
Molly + Peter
COMPETING WITH YOUR FORMER SELF
We've gotten a lot of great feedback on last week's podcast episode about competing with your past results (since right now, what else is there to go on?). The big takeaway: It's OK to not measure up to your past rself, and if you're really honest, do you even want to? But there's more to it than that.. .Give it a listen here, and if you enjoy the episode, do us a solid and leave a rating or review! Competing with Your Former Self – Strategy for Aging
PIVOTING YOUR TRAINING
If you listened to that episode and started to think 'yeah, I can't compete with my former FTP,' you may want to have a more formal training plan to make you accountable to something... and hey, maybe even get competitive with those old numbers! Consummate Athlete Coach Peter Glassford came up with three different pivot plans designed to help get your ass in gear and pedaling towards a new goal that will eventually help you in competition.

DEVICES WE LOVE
From what I use for a running GPS to the smart trainer we would recommend, we rounded up every single electronic device and app that we honestly use on the daily with our training -- even the apps we use to record when I've forgotten my watch, and the one I use for free guided meditation!
