Okay so I think I want to run a marathon. And OF COURSE I have this feeling after Boston. 😅 (DROP YOUR MARATHON RACE SUGGESTIONS IN THE COMMENTS!)

I haven’t run a marathon in over 5 years, and I’ve never had a coach for bay that I’ve run, so I’m really curious about what I’d be able to put together at this stage of life and possibly with a coach.

I still have the desire to run another ultra this year, and I have no idea which will come first (likely the ultra), but I am eager to start looking for a marathon and getting the rest of the year planned out. Cheers to all of you who ran Boston last weekend and thank you for the inspiration as well! ✨

Well, Gorge Waterfalls 50k sure taught me a lot last weekend. I’ve been reflecting on this race all week. From a performance standpoint, this was my worst ultra performance since I started running ultras. Do you see that stick in the photo? I had to use that stick for 14 miles to save my quad from giving up on me…and it worked! So yes, not a great finishing time and I didn’t keep form nor remain physically strong throughout the race, but it was my mental performance that I am so impressed with. Yes, I impressed myself! I signed up for this race back in September with full STOKE, ready to crush a 50k that meant a lot to me given the connection I have with (I’m one of their in-house nutritionists) and because this race looked so dang cool last when I was watching the live streams during 2022’s race. But the reality of having a baby and both my partner and I working very full time weighed on my ability to train. I lived at the 25-35 miles per week range and the longest run I got in was 18 miles and it was only once. Yeah, I was not physically prepared to run 31+ miles, but my heart was and my mind kept me going. The grit was there. And 50 kilometers after starting with a bit of doubt but full hope, I crossed that finish line with a fire burning stronger than before.
Major props to Freetrail and for a phenomenal weekend of full trail culture display. Special specific thanks to for all you do for this community. And a special thanks to for cheering my name when you could!

Have you ever wondered what adaptogens are? You have probably come across this term a few times by now. Mushrooms and mushroom products have been trendy and claim to be adaptogenic, and the same goes for ashwagandha! So many of our clients have successfully brought adaptogenics into their life - especially for stress management - but it truly is a personal matter what can work best for people. Learn more in the slides, and consider reaching out to us for a consult if you are curious about if adaptogens are right for you.

The second post in our golden milk series gives you a glimpse in the benefits of golden milk. I don’t think you need to swap your daily coffee for golden milk in order to get these benefits, but including golden milk even once or twice per week has its benefits.

More antioxidants.
Digestive support.
Anti-inflammatory.
Oh, and delicious!
See our recent reel for a a quick walkthrough of making golden milk, and our next post will show another fun way too!

Relatedly, I had ‘s Golden Latte mix with Turkey tail mushroom and that was sooo good! I highly recommend trying that out!
