As COVID-19 sweeps its way across the planet, everything is changing in a way that is beyond anything we've ever experienced. For so many of us athletes, whose identity and lifestyle is defined by movement and competition and accomplishing goals, it can be extremely frustrating and stressful when there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel. But we must stay proactive and positive despite the circumstances. Because it ultimately comes down to focusing on the things we can control, like staying active and healthy, prioritizing the process instead of outcomes, and creating small, daily goals to keep moving forward in a time of uncertainty.
Today I sit down with my good friend Vic Johnson to chat about how athletes can stay positive, proactive, and productive during a global pandemic. We talk training, creating your own "epic", pandemic shopping food choices, core routines, and more. Vic is a plant-based mountain ultra runner, future dietitian, and handsome, compassionate human.
