The struggle is real right now, and I'm trying to give myself the latitude to get accustomed to this new life in Chile. But it's not as smooth going as I thought it would be.

Slowly settling in to my new environment and thought it would be a good idea to race my bike, that was a bad idea.

After many big life changes, the podcast is back and I'll be sharing with you this adventure among others as I spend the next six months in Chile training and racing my bicycle.

Thanks to everyone who has tuned in and helped spread the word about my little project.

Episode 11"Good Times"2020 is best described as a dumpster fire, and it's time for some levity. This week I'm sharing some good ol' cycling stories of days past. My introduction to cycling and the everlasting bonk, riding up Alpe d Huez and climbing Pikes Peak on a 20" folding bike. For everyone listening in, here are 3x things for you this week.1. Stay on Target - don't lose focus, you got this2. Vote!  - end of discussion3. Small Victories - take time to savor the small stuff, buy the bag of M&M's, eat the cookie, spend a few more minutes outside, slow down just a little and enjoy things a bit moreFollow and connect on Instagram @notlast_podcast #notlastpodcastSubscribe and tell your friends to find us on Spotify, Apple, Google, Amazon music & Stitcher podcasts.Artwork designed by Paige Anochibar, music generously permitted by Flamingosis.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?business=T66MET6QSFK72&no_recurring=0&item_name=Donate+to+my+Olympic+Dream¤cy_code=USD)

Episode 10"The Art of Perseverance"Today I'm talking about an inspiring story from Diana Nyad who swam from Cuba to Florida unassisted, at 64 years old. You can find the NPR story hereJust as inspirational are the stories from the final competitors at Kona to come across the finish line, here is just one of the the many amazing videos of the event (these are also good to watch on the trainer if you need a break from Zwift).I also share my own story of perseverance and determination. Finally, here are 3x reflections I'll leave you with for this week.  Think back to when you've struggled in the past, how did you get through it? Whatever your current struggle is, know that you are strong enough to get through it. My mom always tells me, "this too shall pass." like most moms, she's right. Take inventory of your mental toolbox, make sure you're using everything you have. If you're out of options, don't be afraid to reach out. We all need extra help sometimes, you're not weak for doing so. Until next time, stay on target.

Episode 9Recovery - how to know when it's time to take a break.You want to get stronger, fitter, faster. But how?After 15 years of training and racing, I've picked up a few queues when my body says it's time to back off or take a break. This episode, I'm going to talk about how to identify these triggers and what you can do to re-establish balance. Recovery days are some of the hardest training sessions I have to do, it's not until I fully realize and accept that recovery is EQUAL to training and is part of the program do I start to see the gains I want to see.Your takeaways from this episode:Recovery is EQUAL to trainingStress is stressStrive for balance and growth, not always seeking a new PBNow I ask you to consider these 3x things before next week's episode:Is my lifestyle balanced?Am I happy with the progress I'm making?Am I staying on target?As I mentioned in this episode, if you want a really great podcast that's honest, raw, funny and a little creepy give a listen to My Favorite Murder.

What makes this event truly unique is that every runner is celebrated on equal footing from  pro to amateur. I also talk about my favorite ultra race; Ultra du Mont Blanc (UTMB) another monument in the ultra scene where even finishing the herculean course is a testament to ones dedication and sheer fortitude.
