#85 – Why I'm Intentionally UNDERtraining for My Next Ultra
Before I was a life coach, I was an endurance sports coach (think running and mountaineering).
And I'll tell you one thing: almost all my clients were overtraining.
They believed that more was better.
And if they slowed down even a little, they'd crumble.
And that the answer to getting older was to train harder.
Almost none of them were getting enough rest to really hit their peak performance. In fact, they were so inflamed that injuries and illnesses were common.
Friends, I am here to save you from all that.
On this week's episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, we're going to talk about the benefits of UNDERtraining.
How erring on the side of doing too little can:
- Improve performance
- Promote health and longevity
- Save you a ton of time
- Greatly enhance your quality of life
If you're a runner, hiker, backpacker, mountaineer, or any kind of endurance athlete, this episode will set your free!
