I truly questioned, is this even realistic for me physically, because we had worked so hard to get to that next water stop? I'll just offer up right now that the self-talk that was required to get myself through those really hard points is what we talk about on this podcast all the time.
Erin Green, co-host of the 'Middleish' podcast, recently embarked on an extraordinary adventure: the Unbound 200, a grueling 206-mile gravel race in Emporia, Kansas. While it might seem out of character for a podcast focused on moderation, Erin's journey offers rich insights into balancing physical and mental endurance. She shares her day’s highs and lows, illustrating the importance of a support system, positive self-talk, and the personal growth that comes from pushing one’s limits.
Erin’s preparation for the race was anything but conventional. Instead of a rigid training regimen, she embraced a more relaxed approach—lifting weights, skiing, and biking when she felt like it. This balance helped her stay fit without burning out. Her story underscores the Middleish philosophy: enjoying life while maintaining health. The race itself was a rollercoaster. Erin faced physical challenges like nausea and exhaustion but also experienced moments of camaraderie with fellow riders.
These interactions and her mental resilience were crucial in helping her push through. Erin’s mantra? Survive the day. This shift in mindset played a pivotal role in her ability to finish the race and find personal growth. Throughout the episode, Erin emphasizes the value of positive self-talk and having a reliable support system. These themes resonate deeply with anyone facing tough situations, whether in sports or daily life.
Her advice for aspiring endurance racers is simple yet profound: balance your training with moderation, surround yourself with supportive people, and view challenges as opportunities for growth. Erin’s story isn’t just about a race; it’s about finding middle ground in mind and body. Her experience offers inspiration for anyone looking to push their boundaries while maintaining balance. Tune in to hear Erin’s full recap and discover how you can apply these lessons to your own life.
