We all go through times in our lives where there just isn't the time we once had to dedicate to ourselves and fitness.

Unlike many of our other episodes, this episode is geared towards training to be fit for life not training for a specific event or race.

We hope you walk away from this one with tips and tools so you can adjust your training when time, resources, and energy just aren't on your side.

Today we are joined by Kayti Simonson, a 34 year old lawyer and pro hybrid athlete based in Calgary, Canada. Kayti has a massive sporting background - she ran 400m hurdles and played soccer in the NCAA, played semi-pro soccer in Florida, England, and Texas who impressively earned an undergrad and three post-grad degrees along the way!

Kayti shares how she's dived head-first into the world of Hyrox, how her training has shifted as she's embraced endurance training (which is no joke coming from a speed-power/crossfit background!), and how she balances it all while practicing as a lawyer.

This gal who does it all shares some great insight on how to approach goals in a new sport as a high performer.
