Here’s the comfort lie athletes tell themselves:
“I just need to be more confident.”

Confidence doesn’t come from willpower.
It comes from evidence.

Fear shows up when your nervous system hasn’t felt:
• High force at speed
• Fatigue under load
• Repeated exposure without consequences

So when intensity spikes, your brain taps the brakes, not because you’re fragile, but because it hasn’t been shown it’s safe yet.

What actually works:
• Progressive loading
• Speed introduced with intention
• Enough reps for trust to stick

Save this if it put words to something you’ve been feeling.
Share it with the athlete who keeps blaming their mindset.

When you’re ready to replace fear with proof,

If you are having all the feelings and everything has been weighing you down, I just want you know that I feel you and completely understand. And my office is a safe space for you.

But besides getting an adjustment, you know what else feels good when you’re stressed or down? Picking up and putting down (heavy) things! So get your adjustment and GO WORKOUT! 💙

Because fitness doesn’t fail athletes.
Capacity does.

Before we increase mileage, intensity, or volume, we assess how well your body can handle the work, not how motivated you are to push through it.

Things like:
• How your joints tolerate load
• How well you recover between sessions
• Whether your system can absorb more stress without breaking down

This is how athletes stop guessing and start training with confidence, not just vibes.

If you’re training but unsure whether your body is truly ready for more, a Performance Chat helps clarify what’s missing and what actually needs to change.

And then you come to see me.

After your first visit, you have less pain, more range of motion, and want to get back to the gym but you’re still a little worried. But this is the most relief after everything you’ve tried.

If all of that happens after the first visit, imagine what can happen after 3 or 4?!

If what I just described sounds like you, this is your sign to see how you can feel and move better. There’s nothing to lose off come in for a FREE Performance Chat today! The link is in the bio!

This is why most return-to-play plans fail endurance athletes.

Cardio comes back fast. Fitness returns quickly. And suddenly it feels like you should be able to do everything again.

But endurance injuries rarely come from a weak engine.
They come from tissues that weren’t rebuilt to tolerate:
• Repeated impact
• Long-duration load
• Fatigue late in training

So you’re “back”… until something flares, tightens, or breaks down.

Return-to-training shouldn’t just restore fitness. It should rebuild the structure that carries it.

When you’re ready for a return-to-training plan that prepares your body, not just your lungs…
👉 book a Performance Chat and let’s rebuild it properly.

01/26/2026

You’re training again.
You’re not hurting.
But you’re also not letting it rip.

You hold back late in the workout.
You avoid certain speeds or terrain.
You tell yourself, “I’ll trust it closer to race day.”

That gap you feel isn’t weakness.
It’s unbuilt capacity.

Pain goes away when symptoms calm down.
Confidence comes back when your body proves it can handle load, fatigue, and repetition.

If this hit a little too close, save it.
If it sounds like a training partner, share it.

When you’re ready to stop training cautiously and start preparing confidently,
👉 book a Performance Chat and let’s build race-ready trust.

01/22/2026

Because your brain doesn’t trust images, it trusts experiences.

You can be told:
• “Everything looks good.”
• “You’re healed.”
• “There’s no structural damage.”

And still hesitate when it’s time to push.

That’s not you being weak or broken, it’s your brain tricking you that hasn’t been shown it’s safe yet.

Fear fades when your body proves:
• I can handle this load.
• I can move fast again.
• I can recover without consequences.

Confidence doesn’t return all at once.
It comes back quietly, rep by rep, session by session.

When you’re ready to rebuild trust the right way,
👉 book a Performance Chat and let’s give your body the proof it needs.

Some mornings you only have time to make a smoothie for breakfast (if you’re a breakfast person).

I’m a morning person and normally wake up around 6 +/- 30 min and even if I don’t sit down for my coffee I still run out the door at 9:15 hoping I remembered to bring everything.

Having a little one definitely flips your world upside down, but I wouldn’t change it for anything.

All I’m trying to say is just take it one day at a time and do your best to make yourself 1% better each day. And don’t forget to take care of yourself.

Here are the comfort lies athletes tell themselves — because they feel productive:

• “I just need to stretch more.”
→ Mobility without load doesn’t build resilience.

• “It feels tight, so it must need length.”
→ Tightness is often a strength or tolerance problem, not a flexibility one.

• “Once it loosens up, I’ll be fine.”
→ Temporary relief isn’t the same as long-term capacity.

Stretching can help symptoms.
But symptoms aren’t the goal, durability is.

What actually creates change:
• Gradual loading
• Tissue tolerance
• Repeatable exposure under fatigue

If this stick a cord, I’m here for you, so when you’re ready to stop chasing relief and start building capacity,

It’s not mileage, or your pace, or how good you feel on your best day.

It’s how well your body holds up when fatigue shows up.

What actually works:
• Can you maintain form late in the session?
• Can you absorb load on tired tissues?
• Can you recover and repeat it the next day?

Most breakdowns don’t happen because athletes aren’t fit.
They happen because durability was never built, only performance on fresh legs.

If this changed how you think about race prep, save it.
If you know someone chasing fitness without durability, share it.

Pretty much every other holiday that’s a 3-day weekend I am open. This time I decided to change it up since both the boy and the dog were at their respective daycares, and we probably haven’t had any alone time in who knows how long.

So we took a little drive to the coast and had an amazing lunch at . The weather was perfect, hardly any wind. If you know how cold and windy it is in the summer 😂.

Fun fact, the last time we went to Jenner it was summer and soooo cold and windy that we ate our lunch in the car and went to the river instead lol.

Most return-to-play plans fail endurance athletes for one simple reason:
they focus on permission, not capacity.

You’re told you’re “cleared,” so you:
• Resume mileage
• Add intensity back quickly
• Trust that time off did the work

But endurance demands aren’t binary.
Your body doesn’t go from injured to ready overnight.

What’s usually missing:
• Tissue tolerance at volume
• Fatigue resistance over time
• Confidence under sustained load

So training resumes… and something feels off.
Not painful, just uncertain.
That’s the gap between being cleared and being prepared.

Return-to-training should rebuild durability, not just remove restrictions.

If this reframes how you’re thinking about your comeback, save it.
If you know an endurance athlete stuck in this phase, share it.

When you’re ready for a return-to-training plan that actually prepares you,
👉 book a Performance Chat and let’s map it out properly.
