We just got back from a road trip and the house is insane. More insane than pictured in this video 😅
Training is a spectrum with one end being hardcore rest & recovery and the other end being hardcore performance. These ends of the spectrum are symbiotic. The more I can be comfortable with true rest, the more I can ask of my body, and then my athletic spectrum widens.
It is important to have self-trust as an athlete, and currently I have a big riff going on between my mind and body. My body needs to be able to trust me that when its had enough, I will listen and respect that!
It's time to rest 😴 for me, that looks like reduced mileage, moving for fun not performance, and getting back into a winter strength training build!

Congratulations on hard goals. I just got my first 100mile buckle and have another one scheduled 6months later and then I scheduled a 24hr backyard ultra for the middle. My question for your dnf is how many hours a week was your training? I was so worried I wasn't trying hard enough. But the data said 8hrs a week is enough. So doubled it plus some on my peak month.
