Stravanoia - the Strava-induced paranoia that results from comparing ones own training to EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD!
.
Sounds crazy right? But I’m sure most of us have experienced this phenomenon once or twice...maybe 😏
.
The reality is, you know nothing about the physiology, biology, strength/power, training plan, race OR race goal of the person you’re comparing yourself against. So why put yourself through that heartache and pain?? Don’t worry, the pro’s face the same challenge, according to Coach Joel Filliol, but they have to find a way to manage it. .
.
So this week, I challenge you to disengage from Strava. Throw out some Kudos, and wish fellow athletes well on their merry way! 👋🏻

🔑 Unlocking the key to your performance in 2020
.
Having a training program to follow is a necessary part of any preparation, as it provides the plan for getting you to the start line of your goal race. .
What I’ve spent my whole career doing is providing elite athletes with everything else that is involved in a competitive training program - the strategies that support optimal performance both in preparation and on the big day 🏊🏻♀️🚴🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️
.
Things like health optimization through physical & mental recovery strategies, wellbeing, sleep, stress reduction, injury/illness prevention, and female health. .
Helping you set up a supportive environment and lifestyle that nurtures you and your goals, enabling you to train consistently day in day out. Sorting that schedule to make some SPACE!
.
Identifying and addressing the challenges that are standing in the way of you realizing your highest potential in the sport 🏆

New gear! 🏃🏻♀️
.
Whilst the purpose of wearing my new hydration vest today was to test it out in preparation for some trail running, I was so thankful to have it for the extra water in today’s crazy humidity!! 🥵 .
This is the first time I’ve worn a vest on a normal long road run but I think it definitely won’t be the last...it was so good to have water on hand (literally) to wash down some energy gels, hold keys, sunnies and the little extras. This is an @ospreypacks vest and in terms of reviews, it was super comfy, lightweight, didn’t rub, and didn’t make any difference whatsoever to my running technique. Massive thumbs up for this one from me! Can’t wait to hit the trails with it 🌳🍂 .
Does anyone else use a hydration vest for their long runs? What’s your preference of vest?

⚡️ACCOUNTABILITY⚡️
.
January is definitely the month for setting new goals and intentions for the year! There’s something refreshing about a clean slate and so much possibility don’t you think?
.
In my last post I shared some tips on effective goal setting. But what about achieving those goals?? Research shows that as well as setting goals, taking the extra step of committing to someone for accountability will increase your chances of achieving that goal by 65%! 💪🏻
.
AAAANNNDD, if you commit to an accountability buddy AND make regular check-ins, you’ll increase your chances of success by up to 95%!! 🏆
.
Who is your accountability buddy for 2020? 👭

New Year, New Decade, New Goals 💥
.
The start of a new year always brings new challenges and race goals with it. The squad chatter is abuzz with excitement over upcoming events 🏊🏻♀️🚴🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️
.
Whilst we’re generally a pretty motivated bunch, a few hot tips around goal setting can help ensure you stay on track and achieve them:
* Be clear on WHY you want to achieve this goal
* Is your goal realistic?
* Is it alignment with your values?
* Have you got a plan to accomplish it?
* Who’s going to keep you accountable to it?
.
This year I’ve got a mix of running and triathlon goals on the agenda. Mostly for enjoyment, and to achieve some personal milestones, rather than any external rewards. I find this helps me keep everything within my control, and if the result warrants a reward, then that’s a bonus! So this is 2020 for me.
Trail running series events
Club champs sprint event
Half marathon (Noosa)
IM 70.3 (Port Mac, Sunny Coast)

✨ So what is your big goal for 2020?

🌟Recovery sessions! Who does them? // After what’s usually a solid weekend of training, Monday morning’s tend to be my “active recovery” session. I like to get out and move to start the week off with energy, and I love nothing more than a walk by the river. It’s also an opportunity for a slightly longer sleep in which is always a bonus 👌🏻 // Do you take time for active recovery each week? What’s your fave thing to do?
