Trimarni Coaching and Nutrition

Last week on my blog I posted my last race recap for 2021 - my experience at the Xterra 21K Trail Running World Championship in Maui. As I begin to reflect on a very successful year of racing, I can't believe that I will no longer be racing in the 35-39 age group. Next year I will enter a new decade of my life. (Fun fact: I qualified for the Ironman World Championship by winning the 18-24 age group at IMFL '06, which was my very first Ironman). Accepting that your body will change with age, there's no reason to let your body image hold you back.

Comparison to an idealized image is harmful for your mental and physical health. As you gain wisdom and experience, you deserve to feel good about your body and about your abilities. You are worthy, not worthless.

I was then asked to write The 365-Day Running Journal. While this book was not as scientifically in-depth as my first book, the creative process required me to think differently when crea...
