Ep 111- Stay In It: Training Through the Summer Chaos

Send us Fan MailKat introduces MilesFromHerView and explains how changes to the summer schedule and travel can disrupt fitness routines. She argues that true consistency isn’t about rigidly completing every planned session but about staying “in relationship” with training by keeping the thread even when workouts are modified, shorter, or chaotic. She shares her own unstructured “re-entry” after completing an FKT on the 230-mile Pennsylvania Appalachian Trail (34,000+ feet of climbing) in 98 hours and 41 minutes, noting that recovery and maintenance can feel wrong even when they’re the right approach. Kat reframes the “gray area” as where real development happens and offers four planning questions for the next 6–8 weeks: assess real availability, define what you’re training for, choose what you want to do this summer, and create a backup “good enough” plan so you can adapt without guilt.00:00 Welcome to the Podcast00:51 Summer Schedule Shifts01:43 Redefining Consistency04:43 Kat’s Post FKT Reentry06:58 Summer Can Derail Plans08:09 Plans That Bend09:00 Four Questions Framework09:44 Question One Availability10:10 Question Two Training Goal11:40 Question Three Summer Movement13:02 Question Four Backup Plan14:16 You’re Not Off Track14:50 Share and Work With Me15:21 Outro and Subscribe☎️ Schedule a Complimentary Call See if KatFit Strength is a good fit for you: Book Here📩 Join the KatFit Strength Weekly Newsletter Get coaching tips, mindset insights, and updates: Sign Up Here❓ Questions About Strength, Nutrition, or Cardio?
