RETHINKING FUN IN WORKOUTS + HOW TO LEARN FROM EVERY RACE

Hello, hello!

We've gone back to 2-per-week podcasts, so make sure you're subscribed wherever you listen to podcasts so you never miss an episode (and if you haven't already, please rate + review... it takes 10 seconds and it really helps us.)

Speaking of podcasts, we had something a little different last week: a boxing coach and Muay Thai student, Erin Eastick, came on to talk about the joy (yes, joy!) of hard workouts. If you're feeling down about training, this episode reminds you to train joyfully—yes, even during the hard intervals. Listen here

Molly also is over on the website writing about how to think about post-race... even if a race went great, there's always learnings that can come from it. So, she's breaking down her 100-miler with what she'll work on for next time while also talking through how to do this debrief for yourself: It's not about you doing things wrong, it's about making tweaks so next time goes even better! Read it here

And if you've been through a crash and are nursing your way back to riding, we have tips for coming back mentally after a crash, plus some practical tips for getting back on the bike with an upper body injury! Read it here and listen here

Have an awesome week!

-Molly & Peter
