I know you want to believe us coaches are close to being perfect with our eating and habits; Let me tell you we are not.
In case you have been having the “Shoulds” lately, here are a few things that are reportedly good for us, that I don’t do:

1 Kale Chips – Too expensive to buy, don’t want to waste too much time in the kitchen on my 1 day off a week.

2 Drinking Enough Water Before a Race or Run- To be honest, I rather be slightly dehydrated so I don’t have to pee every 5 mins.

3 No Eating After 7pm – Most of my dinners on weekdays are after 8pm because I’m working.

4 No Eating In Front of The T.V. – although this can be a bad habit, most weeknights I do. We have are designated at the dinner table for the weekend brunch or a weekend family dinner.

5 Cold Shower Therapy – Tons of benefits to cold baths/showers. Tried it, don’t like it. I wish I could, but I love my hot baths and showers.

6 Run A Marathon- At this particular moment in my life, I really don’t feel the need to do a full marathon. 15km sure, 42 km- ahhh no.

7 Regular Stretching and Mobility – I get my clients to do this on a regular basis, I really should practice what I preach right?? Don’t get me wrong, I stretch when I have a particular muscle that needs attention. Just not as much as I should be doing.

8 Become A Morning Runner – I’m working on it, kinda. I truly feel at my peak around mid-late mornings. Will you see me at 5am running? Probably not.
