Inspired by taking 9 days off from lifting due to illness, travel, and having fun with friends…

It takes longer than you’d think to detrain, especially in someone who is well trained.

If you skip the gym for a week or two, your years of hard work don’t just fly out the window.

Sure, let’s make an effort to get back into a consistent rhythm, but to assume you’re never going to get sick, never going to have travel conflicts, etc is irrational.

Things you can do to avoid detraining and losing fitness while not lifting include: staying active in other ways, eating enough protein, and eating enough in general, and continuing to prioritize sleep and stress management.

Following a sustainable program will set you up for long-term success, too.

If you’re a runner who’s been hesitant to lift weights, let’s set the record straight —

1. Lifting doesn’t make you bulky. Getting “bulky” would take years of dedicated work with consistent high calorie intake because women do not have nearly as much testosterone as men.

2. Running and lifting do not damage your knees. Lifting helps lower your risk of injury by strengthening your muscles in multiple planes of motion making you more resilient. And although running is higher impact, runners have shown to have a lower risk of osteoarthritis than sedentary individuals.

3. Lifting doesn’t make you a slower runner. Lifting allows you to build strength, power, and muscle so you can endure more on the trails and pavement — better force production, better endurance, and better resilience.

4. If lifting light weights gets you lifting, great. But lifting moderate-heavy weights is where the magic happens for building strength and muscle for not only running, but daily life and longevity.

Training while life is busy is one of the best things you can do for setting yourself up for success for the long-term.

Life is always going to be busy so you need to plan accordingly.

You need to schedule your strength training as if it’s a dentist appointment.
You need to schedule your cardiovascular training as if it’s a doctor’s appointment.
If you’re short on time, adjust your workout duration so you can still train and fit it into your schedule.

Goals don’t work unless you do.

This doesn’t mean you can’t take time off, go on vacation, or put training on pause for a few days or a week, but it does mean you need to create a plan to make sure that you get back into your routine and it is a sustainable practice.

If performance and longevity are at the top of mind, your actions and habits must follow suit for preferred outcomes.

Unfortunately, things don’t just ✨happen✨ unless you do the work to get there.

This isn’t an exhaustive list, but it is the start of a list of contributing factors.

These habits took time to develop. Not just 6 weeks, 6 months, or even a year. Literal years of trial and error, hiring professionals, and adapting.

To perform well, your outlook, environment, and approach matter.

You got this 🤘🏼
