When work goes up, study goes up, where do you fit it all in?

In this episode, Kirsten and I are talking about:

  • Managing the juggle of more work, more study while still being parents apparently
  • When something has to give, where is the best place to take it from?
  • Setting priorities and making adjustments
  • Preserving mental energy for where you really need it

Podcast: Episode 139 – How to create a run-specific cross-training plan when you aren’t running

· · Leave a Comment

Is all cross-training built equal?

In this episode which is all about creating a plan that doesn’t involve running, I’m talking about:
  • The hierarchy of cross-training that most easily translates to running
  • Why running volume and cross-training volume are (and can be) very different
  • Ways you can use cross-training, even if you are running.

Podcast: Episode 138 – Why your running (or new habit) motivation falls off a cliff after 3 weeks (and how to fix it)

· · Leave a Comment

If you lose your way after three weeks, do you internalise that as a personal failing?

The reality is that this is really common to everyone and it’s not just a matter of will power or drive or commitment. In this episode I’m talking about:
  • Why it happens, even with the best of intentions
  • How to set yourself up to avoid this or at least work around it
  • And some of the ways I’m using this in my own life right now

Oh hello, I hear it’s 2021.

And it’s been awhile since I’ve been on the podcast, and boy did I miss it. In this episode I’m talking about:

Podcast: Episode 135 – Plan, Train and Adapt with Nicole Avery

· · Leave a Comment

Zoey and Nicole at Melbourne Marathon Festival

Marathon training, interrupted

This week, I’m talking marathon training, lockdown, planning and new projects with Nicole Avery from Planning with Kids. You can check out some of Nicole’s marathon training tips,  some ideas for fuelling your training, and here is one of her recipes for a morning protein smoothie. Nicole wanted to run a marathon this year, but 2020 had different ideas! So we talked a bit about the changing landscape of her training this year and how having a personalised plan has helped her.

How planning can give you more time for training, and more time for fun stuff

One of the big questions our awesome crew in Run Club have, is how do you juggle it all – family, work, running? And Nicole talks us through some of her main processes for  putting her planning to work for her so she has more time for marathon training and more quality family time.

Some marathon training talk!

We talk pacing vs effort, how to get your head around hard workouts and not changing what our coach has written.

Introducing Adapt

Nicole has started a new project: Adapt Drinks. Nicole has developed a drink with a focus on relaxation, stress relief and recovery – without any sugar or alcohol additives. The drinks include adaptogenic herbs, which you could take as a supplement – but are now in a drink form to retain that ritual of having a drink. So it’s a great way to get your relaxation or stress relief without all the negatives associated with alcohol. I think it’s such a cool concept, and I promptly contributed to her campaign to get my pre-order sorted! You can pre-order yours here.
