Trust Your Coach
I’ve been nursing a sore shoulder for what feels like months now. It has been so long I don’t recall what it feels like to sleep on my left side without discomfort. I’ve done all the responsible things: I’ve been to PT to verify it’s not a major injury; I’m rolling and stretching; I’m modifying […]
Consistency
In my opinion inconsistency is one of the biggest reasons for minor aches and pains. And I am not just talking about inconsistency in your weekly workout routine, even though this definitely has a huge impact on a person’s injury rate but inconsistency in other factors like recovery, nutrition, and workload. The body thrives on […]

I am writing this about 4 months postpartum and while I obviously have a million and one things to learn, there are a few key takeaways I have learned about postpartum fitness during these last 4 months.

How And Why We Warm-Up
Every one of our workouts begin with a warm up. The warm up usually lasts 8-10 minutes depending on the workout of the day and how the class is feeling (ie the 5am Monday crew usually needs an additional 5 minutes just to open there eyes most weeks) The warm ups are made up of […]
Find Your People
I recently enjoyed a long run on a beautiful mountain trail and reflected on how restored I felt afterward. There is just something about crisp mountain air, the sound of crunching dirt and rocks, and labored breathing that makes me feel ‘connected’ in ways Wifi can’t deliver. Solo efforts we pursue on foot, bike, water, […]
Team Sport
To most, the sport of road cycling looks like an individual sport. They see one rider working their butt off (literally) to beat everyone else to the finish line. But talk with any true cyclist and they will certainly tell you different. Professional Road Cycling is a team sport. To be successful you have to have a […]
