How to keep training even when your body’s mad at you

Okay. So, I’m 17 days out from competing at the BC Masters Track and Field Championships. We’re deep in the training block.

But my Achilles? She’s been real mad at me lately. Both of them, actually.

So today’s episode is about this: How do you keep training when parts of your bod are flaring up? When your back hurts. When your SI is pissed. When something just keeps feeling off.

You don’t wanna stop—but you’re not sure what to do. I get it girl...

This episode is for the woman who’s stuck in that start-stop cycle. She’s doing the work, she’s training, she’s feeling great— Then boom. Flare-up. And now she’s frustrated, anxious, overwhelmed… and thinking about pulling back. Again.

So let’s talk about it.

Let’s talk about why this happens—what’s actually going on inside the bod—and how we can keep going without making it worse.

I share two of the biggest levers we can pull inside our training:

• Exercise selection → Are you choosing the right movement for where your body’s at right now?
• Dosage → How much? How often? How heavy? How fast?

We also talk about movement mechanics, owning the movement, nervous system regulation, and why your bod isn’t broken—she’s just underfed, under-recovered, or being asked to do too much of the wrong thing at the wrong time.

This one’s packed. Let’s do it.

KEY THINGS WE COVER:

• Why your body might not be ready for certain movements (and that’s okay)
• How to adjust your training without stopping
• What “the bud loves load” actually means
• Why pain is often a nervous system issue—not a structural one
• The difference between not being able to do something and just not owning the movement yet
• How to dose your training like a pro (volume, tempo, rest, intensity—all of it)

🖤 QUOTES FROM THE EP:

• “Parts of my bod are mad at me—but I’m still training. I’m just being smarter.”
• “If you’re always flaring up after a squat… maybe it’s not the squat. Maybe your body just isn’t ready for that squat yet.”
• “Strength training is rehab. We don’t need a physio band—we need the right movement, dosed properly.”
• “The hips, the pelvis, the SI… they love load. You just have to give them the right kind.”
• “If you’re gonna say yes to being a badass… you’ve gotta learn to coach your body properly.”

WHO THIS IS FOR:

• The woman who keeps flaring something up
• The one who doesn’t trust her body right now
• The lifter who’s scared to squat again
• The coach who wants to get better at navigating injury in training
• Any woman who wants to stop the stop-start cycle and learn how to train properly—even when stuff hurts
