Episode 127: Peak Fitness vs. Peak Shape, Intentionality in Training, and Self-Compassion

Race week energy is here! We kick things off with Boston Marathon excitement, hitting race-day mindset, pacing, and spectator tips, before diving into a favorite recent insight: the difference between peak fitness vs. peak shape, and what you can do to give yourself the best possible opportunity to feel good on race day. From there, we riff on training with full intention, how to balance pushing vs. pulling back, and why flexibility is the key to long-term progress. We also talk self-compassion, celebrating small wins, and avoiding the trap of tying your worth to performance. Plus: Strava segment fun and practical fueling/hydration strategies heading into race day.
