8 WEEKS OUT. 56 DAYS TO GO 👀🔥

And can we talk about the absolute CHAOS that happens when people forget how to pace themselves the second a workout starts? 😂

Because I swear you can spend months building your fitness, improving your running, getting stronger and then throw half of it out the window because you decided to absolutely SEND IT in the first 5 minutes.

We’ve all been there.

You feel fresh. The adrenaline kicks in. Everyone around you is moving fast. And suddenly the pace you KNOW you probably shouldn’t be holding feels like a fkn fantastic idea.

Until it doesn’t 🫠

Here’s something I really want you to understand:
Being fitter doesn’t automatically mean you’re better at pacing.

That’s a skill you have to practise.
And the best time to practise it isn’t on race day. It’s NOW.

It’s learning how to settle into a run without getting carried away.
It’s knowing what a sustainable effort feels like on the ergs.
It’s getting comfortable transitioning from a station back into running without completely losing your shit.
And it’s understanding that sometimes holding back a LITTLE early on means you’ve got a whole lot more to give later.

Your goal isn’t to win the first kilometre.
Your goal is to put together the strongest overall performance you can.

So over these next eight weeks, I want you to stop thinking about each run and station as its own little competition.

Start thinking about how they all work TOGETHER.

Because that changes how you train.
And it sure as shit changes how you race 🔥

56 DAYS. LOTS OF WORK STILL TO DO.

But plenty of time to get really fkn good at using the fitness you’re building.

Save this one and give the pacing drill a crack in your next session! 🩷

A CrossFit comp wasn’t on my bingo card this year 😂 but it’s been hellaaa fun introducing a variety of new movements back into my training! After a few sessions back to thrusters (humbling) we just bloody secured the 60kg, how DAMNN fun!! (questionable tech, tech gods spare me) let’s see what Sunday brings ☠️😆

For the longest time, I genuinely thought there was something wrong with me because I didn’t really carry friendships from school into my adult life.

You always hear about people having their “best friend since prep” or the same friendship group since they were 15, and I used to look at that and wonder why I didn’t have it. I definitely spent way too many years convincing myself that maybe I was the problem.

But getting older has completely changed the way I look at friendship.

Some of the people closest to me now have been in my life for 7+ years. Some walked into it literally six months ago. And somehow, they’ve all found me at different versions of myself, exactly when I needed them.

I think we put so much emphasis on how long we’ve known someone, when really it’s about how you feel when you’re around them.

Do they celebrate you? Do they make you feel safe being completely yourself? Do they show up? Do they want to see you win? Can you laugh until you nearly piss yourself but also call each other out when needed? 😂

Because friendships are relationships too. And just like you shouldn’t stay in a romantic relationship simply because you’ve been together for years, you don’t have to hold onto friendships purely because there’s history there.

You’re allowed to outgrow people. You’re allowed to find new people. And you’re allowed to be really fucking selective about who gets access to you.

Turns out I wasn’t missing out on my people.
I just hadn’t met all of them yet 🥹🤍
and fuckkkk I love them.

Grateful for this weekend. Grateful for these gals. Grateful that somehow “let’s go to Sydney and run a half mara in the dark” exited the group chat 🥹🩷

As much as I talk shit and ask “why tf do I do this?” - I do feel so lucky to have a body that lets me do these things and women beside me who make the whole experience so much more fun.

The race was pretty fkn cool, but getting to share the weekend with some of my fav people was the best part.

Would absolutely do it all again (after my legs recover) 🫶🏼✨

3 in 4 Aussie women avoid running after dark.

During marathon prep this year, I ran alone in the dark for the first time. I was proud of myself for doing it, but also pretty pissed off that it felt like something I had to conquer in the first place.

It’s a shitty, real thing so many of us have to think about just to go for a run.

Keeeeen to fkn band together and run the night 😎🌙

13 WEEKS UNTIL RACE DAY. 91 DAYS. 👀

And if you’re about to head into a structured training block, this week isn’t about squeezing in as much fitness as humanly possible before it starts 😂

It’s about getting your shit organised.

Because the best program in the world means fuck all if every Monday you look at it and think:
“Soooo… when exactly am I supposed to fit all of this in?”

Know where your training lives.
Know which sessions you’re protecting.
Know what can move when life inevitably does life things.

And probably most importantly - stop believing that a successful prep means executing every single week perfectly (it wont happen, trust me x)

You’ll have busy weeks. Shit sleep. Work stress. Social events. Sickness. Heavy legs. Sessions that don’t go to plan.

The goal isn’t perfection.
The goal is becoming really fucking good at adjusting without abandoning the whole thing.

For our Lioness gals, this is officially the FINAL WEEK before our 12-Week hybrid performance coaching kicks off on September 21st and I am SO fkn excited to get started 🥹🔥

This week we organise.
Next week WE WORK 🫡🩷
