My original plan was to begin training in November however, life had other plans for me. With juggling two jobs and a bout of the flu, I had to pause and restart. This felt like the perfect metaphor for mental health and what I often teach my clients: progress is not always linear and sometimes we get set back and we have to find the resilience to ground ourselves, restart, and move forward. So that is exactly what I am doing, revising my training and moving forward.

January-February: Foundations

Focus: Building the foundation through cardio, strength training, and consistency. My goal here is to build a solid work out routine.

March-June: Endurance

Focus: Boost stamina, leg, and core strength. Most days on the trek will consist of 6-10 hours hikes. Building my endurance will be my biggest challenge and will be where the bulk of my training is.
