Episode 146: Mini Training Camps, Making Intervals Fun, and Gratitude for Movement

<p>In this week&#39;s episode, we talk about how to turn a regular vacation into a DIY training camp by leaning into the terrain, time, and tools you have available, and why a change in training stimulus can build fitness while keeping things fresh. We share ideas for making intervals more fun and less structured, from segment hunting and landmark fartleks to letting hills and trails dictate the effort, plus some thoughts on balancing fitness and specificity when moving between road and trail. We also talk about easing into fall training as cooler weather arrives, paying attention to whether you are actually absorbing your training, and the importance of gratitude for simply getting to move. Finally, we dig into mental toughness, celebrating the small moments when you choose to keep going, and building up a cookie jar of resilience you can draw on when things get hard.
