Love this — such a perfect reminder that effort compounds, even if the payoff comes later. Trusting the pause, staying confident, and not forcing it — that’s true marathon mentality!

So good. I love how you’re turning your training into a way to reconnect with your hometown — finding peace in familiar places while also feeling stronger and happier in your body. That’s such a beautiful mix of growth and grounding 🙌

This is such a huge win. Letting go of the pressure to perform every single day and choosing compassion over criticism is real mental strength. Your system remembering that you’re okay — even when you skip or shift sessions — is powerful progress 🩷

Love this! Swapping runs for scenic hikes is such a beautiful way to stay moving and recharge, and the fact that you came back feeling strong on your first run back shows how much consistency you’ve built — that’s the real ripple effect of the work you’re putting in 🙌

This is beautiful. Coming back from a cold is never easy, and the fact that you not only pushed through but also found such a powerful mental strategy is huge. Turning those harsh thoughts into something you can literally wash away with compassion — that’s next-level mindset work. I love the wave, I love the cows, and I love how you’re reminding yourself (and all of us) to stay present and kind. What a strong run, in every sense ❤️

That’s such a strong way to listen to your body while still staying consistent. Honoring where you’re at, adjusting the runs, and keeping your energy for kung fu grading is exactly what smart training looks like. Love that you’re seeing the crossover into sparring stamina too — proof that the work you’re putting in is paying off in so many ways.

More energy, more power, more YOU 🙌. Love seeing this shift!

Wow — thank you for sharing this so openly. What you’ve lived through takes an incredible amount of resilience, and the way you’re choosing to turn that energy inward, toward valuing yourself, is so powerful. I love how you framed it: fighting for you. That’s exactly the kind of strength that will carry into your training and every other area of life. You’re not just building fitness here — you’re building boundaries, clarity, and self-worth. So proud of you.

Week 6 girls! 

I’d love to know, what’s a secret mental/physical strength moment you had recently? Where you saw all your hard work is paying off somewhere surprising in your life?

Hello Lucia! I hope you're doing well. For this I'd advise you consult a health advisor. I'm sorry I can't advise more than that, it's just outside my area of knowledge and it's always better to get it checked out if you're not sure!
