Climb Your Mountain
Life coach, mountaineer, and ultra runner Sarah Maurer shares her best endurance training strategies to help you climb your mountain or run your race — in any body at any age. Listen and learn how to eat, train, think, and above all live like a mountain athlete. Each week, Sarah will teach you practical strategies to overcome self-doubt, deal with training setbacks, save time, and stay happy and healthy through the long training season. Sarah earned her high altitude mountaineering certificate from Colorado Mountain Club in 2017 at age 41 and has since summited peaks in Bolivia, Ecuador, Mexico, and the USA, including Mount Rainier. She's also completed six (and counting) ultramarathons. She's living, breathing proof that you don't need to be 22 and have 6% body fat to be an endurance athlete. On this podcast, she shares her no-nonsense advice on fitness, (un)diet, motivation, and self belief to help you train for your goal. It's a mix of interviews and solo jam sessions you won't want to miss. So subscribe and get ready to blow your own mind.
