Eight weeks in and feeling really good, I realized I’ve shifted my mindset from defense to offense — pursuing what I want versus avoiding what I don’t, seeing opportunities instead of obstacles. I’m pretty much pain free. Major gratitude for this revived state my body is enjoying — a major uplift in my mental outlook on top of the obvious physical gains. Appreciate my coach and the work Samsara has put into this programming.
Oh yeah, it’s wicked. The Samsara promise of transforming after a year of diligent and consistent training has rung true. I’ve got a lot to learn and improve (as always), but it’s wild how far I’ve come since I started about a year ago. Truly!
My win last week was my first beach run in about 6 months. I gave running a rest last fall to let the knee heal, and the Samsara training has been paying off — no pain and little to no swelling post-run. LFG!!!
Beautiful and successful day on Mount Baker yesterday — a concrete step toward a lifetime goal. After a decade of struggling with left ankle instability, my ankle and the chain supporting it were strong, stable, and pain-free. Samsara helped me get over this final hurdle when surgery and multiple rounds of physical therapy could not. After 12 weeks of consistently applying the rehab framework, my front-side knee pain is also resolved. In the past, this likely would have progressed to the point of limiting my time in the mountains. Now I have the tools and knowledge to identify issues early and apply rehab strategies on my own.
I’m really stoked on the results and enjoying the activities I love to do. Finding the time to train wasn’t so hard once I knew the rhythm — it’s nice to have a structured plan to focus my attention. The shoulder issues I had coming into Samsara have progressed steadily, and I’m confident I can climb as hard as I want if I keep at it. Excited to see what another 12 weeks gets me.
I’ve been using the Samsara platform for almost two years now (more recently the Basecamp platform), and it’s been transformative for my athletic evolution — mentally and physically — and my progression in climbing and running (and snowboarding and ice climbing when conditions allow). I can honestly say I’m more athletic now than I’ve ever been, at the age of 46, thanks to Samsara.
