263. The Secret to Staying Consistent With Strength Training All Summer

Summer is here, the trails are calling, group rides and runs are filling your calendar, and suddenly those strength workouts start slipping. Sound familiar?

It’s about creating systems that make it easier to show up, even when life gets busy.

In this episode of Making Shift Happen, I’m sharing practical strategies that will help you maintain your strength throughout cycling season without feeling like you’re adding more to your plate. You’ll learn why consistency – not perfection – is what leads to stronger rides/runs, fewer injuries, and better performance by the end of the season. Remember, you don’t need “perfect” weeks, you just need consistent ones.
