#91 – The 3 Steps I’d Take if I Missed a Week of Workouts

In this week's episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, we dive into a common struggle for perfectionists and athletes alike: missed workouts.

Whether you’re training for an endurance event like a marathon or just exercising to look and feel better, skipping a workout can send you into a spiral of panic and guilt.

I know this firsthand, having transitioned from a personal trainer for outdoor endurance athletes (hiking, mountaineering, trail running) to a health and wellness coach for pressured perfectionists.

What We Cover:

• What we make missed workouts mean versus reality
• The truth about deconditioning — and why most of us worry way too much about losing fitness.
• How panic over missed workouts can actually set your fitness back further.
• Why missed workouts may actually be a blessing in disguise for overachieving athletes.
• My personal story of running a half marathon PR after missing all my peak training.
• Practical tips to help you ease back into fitness the smart way after a week off.
