Show notes

SO MANY CHANGES TO THE BADASS LADY GANG! I wanted to take a second to talk about where my head is at. Why we created the Badass Lady Gang, The Badass Lady Gang Team, our new training programs, and why I decided to move us from Facebook Groups to Mighty Networks. (I know some women are upset about the move. I hope you'll hear me out and join us on the new platform.)

Let's Talk Post-Race Blues and Taking Time Off Nov 20, 2019

Show notes

We've talked about it before and we'll talk about it again. THE DREADED PAUSE. Post-race blues are a real thing. It can be hard to adjust to life without the structure a goal race brings.

In my early years of running, rest days were a nightmare. I felt guilty taking time off because I was terrified I'd gain weight. I wanted to go non-stop because I didn't think I was ready to work through everything I was running so hard from.

The hardest part about dealing with the post-race blues is having to really work through what you're running from or towards. But it's in that unfocused, "lost", pause that growth happens.

Today, I want to talk about all the fears we have from losing fitness and gaining weight, to feeling like you need to fix that sadness you're experiencing.

Let's talk about why it's important to find balance during the post-race blues.

Why I Kept Running: The Badass Lady Gang and I Share How We Became Runners Nov 12, 2019

Show notes

There is an infinite number of articles online offering tips and tricks to go for that first run. They're great. READ THEM! But you don't need to know what you're doing or have special shoes or gear to become a runner. If you're looking for a plan, check out my guided runs. I have 8 weeks of podcast episodes that will guide and distract you through those first two months of running. (You can download my free 8K Become A Runner Plan Here) The hardest part about becoming a runner isn't that first run. It's sticking with it. I asked the Badass Lady Gang what clicked for them. What was the reason they didn't give up after their first few runs? Why Did You Keep Running? Their stories are inspiring as hell! If you're looking to become a runner but are afraid you'll quit or won't be able to stick with it, read their stories to both be inspired and reminded that you aren't alone with your fears and anxieties. Then lace up whatever shoes you have and see what happens. TODAY IS ALWAYS THE DAY.

Today is all about talking about why I kept running.

Controlling And Abusing Women Isn't A Women's Running Issue Nov 07, 2019

Show notes

This morning, Mary Cain bravely came forward about the abuse she experienced training with Nike Oregon Project. Do yourself a favor and both READ and WATCH her story. This goes so, so much further than running and it's really making me scratch my head why so many people in the running world are making this out to be a women's running or track and field issue. Mary's story is such an important one because it's about predatory behavior and how we allow it to persist, dominate, and continue. I have so many friends who were abused and weighed publicly and none of them are runners.

This conversation is an important one because change has to happen and we're robbing ourselves by labeling this a "women's running" issue.

Fueling 101- I Got A Metabolic Efficiency Test Sep 06, 2019

Show notes

Everyone knows about counting calories because as women, we're raised to strive to reach for an unattainable body type. So many have starved themselves, binged, or felt unworthy in the skin they were in. When you hear the word diet, we don't think about all the food that we put into our body to fuel it...which is what a diet is. Instead, we think about all the things we restrict ourselves with or what we shouldn't eat. Getting a metabolic efficiency test was EYE OPENING. We were able to pinpoint where I'm most efficient as a runner and how I can train to run even more efficiently. I learned about why it's important to pay attention to the ratios of protein, fiber and fat in every meal and how to fuel my body so that I can run my personal best. Anyone who has ever given everything towards a goal knows how huge of a sacrifice it is. Last year, I struggled with muscle cramps both during training and during the NYC Marathon. My coach Rebeka Stowe and physical therapist Michael Conlon both suggested I get a sweat test so that I can see exactly how much salt I and sweat I lose on the run to get precise about my fueling. Luckily, at Finish Line Physical Therapy, you can get both an Advanced Salt Test and a Metabolic Efficiency Test. What is an advanced sweat test and a metabolic efficiency test? An advanced sweat test is two-fold: First, Nicci tests the concentration of sodium you lose in your sweat. Turns out, it's genetically determined and varies greatly from one person to the next. (Turns out I'm a below average salty sweater but a really, really heavy sweater.) Then, she had me weigh myself before and after a run to figure out my sweat rate. Then, that number combined with my specific concentration of sodium lost yield an exact fueling strategy for my runs! A metabolic efficiency test is ideal to help you determine if your current nutritional strategies are helping or hurting your performance. You will find out how your body utilizes fats and carbohydrates as fuel and learn how many calories you really need for your next race. For more info, check out Nicci's website http://elevatebynicci.com/or pop into to Finish Line Physical Therapy (http://FinishLinePT.com) to learn more.
