Yoga here we come!* VIDEO RECAP As we enter week 8 we close our our 2nd build phase it's impressive to see how far we have come since the start of the clinic. Embracing change, adapting to this new normal and yet, still being very successful when it comes to our achievements, our outlooks and how we've chosen to stay connected. This week will feel like a push for many of us. We may start the week tried, more achy and our workouts might need more "warm up" time, need to stay in an easier effort. We have one more week to build our fitness before our next rest week. Get in touch with how you're feeling and don't be afraid to back off if you feel like you're already processing a healthy level of stress for your body right now. Although we're following a "program" - remember that not everyone fits into a particular way of doing things. #befree to make your own choices and create a journey that feels good to you. Some of our crew is fighting through some niggles and may remain in the #dothelittlethings phase for another week. This is okay. You need to know that others have had ups and downs in their journey this spring and we all need to stay focused on our own individual needs and journey. Don't get sucked into comparing to others or trying to keep up to anyone around you right now. #BeFree to make good choices for you... continue by watching week 8's video above. MOTIVATION STATION "a group of friends that feels like a family is priceless. your intuitions brought you together to lift each other up and protect one another. the time you spend together is truly precious, empowering and rejuvenating. always laughing, learning and facing the ups and downs as one." LEARN Steve and Anthony have put together an entertaining and helpful video on how to upload a GPX route from Strava to your watch this week.

VIDEO RECAPACCEPTING LOSS - lots of changes happening in a short amount of time - how these changes effect our goals, feelings and how to move forward from here - thank you from the coach / support "You're not chasing the goal itself, you're chasing the feelings you hope attaining those goals will give you." GOAL CONSIDERATIONS - take some time to get in touch with how your previous goals wanted you to feel. - how can you adapt your goals over the next 4 weeks to try to stay close to the same feelings? - break down the next 4 weeks into 4 separate weekly goals. - some of you will have additional motivation as you build towards the NO BEAR YES BEAR challenge of running 10k to 50k on the April 24th weekend. If you're not in this challenge, don't worry. Stay on target with your own 4 week goal and crush it! "Some sessions are stars. Some sessions are stones, but in the end, they're all rocks and we are building on them." VIRTUAL SUNDAY - this weekend is all about re-establishing our baseline. - it is NOT a build week.
