I'm going to Everest!
I wanted to share 2 massive upcoming events that I'll be taking part in for 2023 that I'm super excited about!
The first one Everest Basecamp. From April 27-May 16, I'll be heading to Lukla, Nepal with 8 others and spending the next two weeks trekking up to Everest Basecamp! I've never done anything like this before and couldn't be more excited. We'll be walking up a total of 8300 ft and just shy of 70 km in total one way but because of the reduced oxygen levels, we'll have to spread it out of several days to avoid altitude sickness. Given how I've been more of a gym goer and someone on the higher end of metabolisms, these next 4 months for me will be a balance of adding more endurance, weight, and muscle to be prepared for what's to come (including the inevitable weight loss on my end lol).
The second is my first Triathlon in Toronto in July! I've done 5k, 10k and 15k runs via Tough Mudder and 50km bike rides via Ride for Heart, but the one thing I haven't done is swim long distance. It's been one of my fears to swim in an open lake for meters on end, let alone 750m. So more training on my end needed there as well. Nonetheless, doing a Triathlon like this is has been on my bucket list for a long time, and I can't wait to do it.
I've always been one to neglect endurance where I can (I do the bare minimum to keep me fit like getting my steps in and doing weekly HIITs), but one things for sure - seeing 2 locked dates in your calendar has made me add endurance in just to be overprepared.
That being said - having the fundamentals of nutrition, movement, rest and emotion control basically automated internally (habits), allows me to be able to partake in events like this without any fear and that is empowering.
This is WHY I do what I do in coaching - I want to help people master their health habits so that they increase their capacity to not only look the part, but feel empowered to do things they were once limited by.
If you're currently stuck in a place where you have some weight to lose, energy to regain and habits to rewire and you want to upgrade your baseline to a place where signing up for a triathlon is something you can do without too much thought...
Perhaps its time to get real about this, get some skin in the game and make this happen for real.
If thats you - comment "IN" below and I'll message you details on how it all works.
Excited!!
