Crying - screaming - throwing up

Thanks for making Floor It the NUMBER ONE new release in training 🥹

If you haven’t preordered, please do! I’ve never pre ordered a book in my life but now that I understand more about how this works just trust me when I say pre orders are HUGE. I know we don’t get the same immediate satisfaction, but I hope it’s so worth the wait!!!

Bad time to be a hater

YOU GUYS!!!! IT’S REAL!!!

I wish I had a long elaborate caption but right now I don’t. Maybe when I’ve had a chance to process a bit. Right now, just…pure gratitude. To 80/20 Publishing for taking a chance on a first time author who cold called them, to for taking this project into the world…I have a lot more specifics in my acknowledgments but for now I just….wow.

And *I* keep my *side* of the street clean - *you* wouldn’t *know* what I mean 💅🏻

Listen - I’ve worked in big box and in small, independent practices. They both had problems. And at the end of the day I realize *I* am a common denominator who has realized that I cannot work for other people 🤷🏼‍♀️ let’s be real it was never gunna happen. I know myself better now.

But this TMI Tuesday has turned into Spill the Tea Tuesday, and this is the nice version 😅 If you’re a PT struggling in the system, my inbox is open.

Flat feet get all the attention, but my arches are HIGH and STUCK.

So as I lead into another marathon training cycle, I’m working on the ability to control pronation - this is where force absorption happens! If I can control it and use it as a spring, that means less load on other joints + more efficiency in every step.

The origo board by is great because it lets me work on either direction - I can flip the board, use it for pronation or supination, and it comes with a built-in roller for my feet and calves post run. I’m loving integrating it into my workouts and will absolutely be using it with clients who have pain from plantar fasciitis to hip bursitis (it’s all connected ♥️)

Comment below if you also got left behind when running world only focused on over pronators 😭 the real win are feet that can control low arch, high arch, and neutral positions for…..26.2 miles 🏃‍♀️

STOP trying to convince people it’s their mental toughness that’s limiting them on this one.

When you understand the physiology, you understand how to execute.

You won’t be fighting your brain tomorrow - you’ll be fighting your muscles. And that’s OKAY. If you understand it and play your cards right, that acid building up in the muscles will hit the breaking point as soon as you hit 0.25.

Coaching it RIGHT matters more than just coaching it hard.

See yall tomorrow 🫡

I remember looking at the calendar for my first marathon and realizing I’d be on my cycle on race day.

I also knew I was going to be within 5 minutes of my goal time if things went well. Stopping to clean up half way would put me past that goal. So what happens if I choose to just keep going?

Well…nothing. I’ve done MANY a trail race where you cross the finish line bleeding from a trip over a root, rock, or creek bed. No one bats an eye.

But your PERIOD?!?! 😱

I’m sure part of getting older is just caring less about stuff like this. Generally, on my cycle I feel SO much better than I did the week before - and the physiology supports that. For long endurance events, multiple layers of protection doesn’t always cut it 🤷🏼‍♀️ so my rule is this - I’m not going to rub my leg on anyone mid race, but I’m gunna keep running.

**Disclaimer that I DO stop to go to the bathroom if needed as that’s a fairly quick stop and I’ve actually never had to go mid-race 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’ve got my GI tract fairly figured out on game day! That said, my uterus is less compliant and quite frankly…I do not care.
