The space between seasons can leave us feeling a little off; low on energy, out of rhythm, or unsure of what we need. The daily battle with clothing, do I go outside or ride inside? Why am I constantly over/under dressed? In Episode 9, we explore shoulder season depression and the emotional shifts that can come with changing seasons. We also look at 5 tips to get through it. It’s a conversation about making room for those feelings, finding small moments of steadiness, and giving ourselves grace through the transition.

Enjoy!

For me, the number is 10,000 miles on the bike in one year.

But what’s your number?

Maybe it's...

🚴 5,000 miles on the bike
🏃 1,000 miles running
🚶 10,000 steps a day
🏋️ 200 strength workouts this year
⏱️ 300 hours of exercise
📅 Working out 250 days this year
🥾 52 hikes - one every week
🏊 100,000 yards in the pool
🚲 Riding your bike 3 days every week
💪 Or simply exercising more consistently than you did last year

The number is different for everyone. The process of getting there is surprisingly similar.

In Episode #8 of Obsessed with Cycling, I use my pursuit of a 10,000-mile cycling year to talk about something much bigger: How do you take a huge fitness goal and actually make it happen?

I share 7 hacks that have helped me chase 10,000 miles; breaking a massive goal into smaller pieces, getting ahead when you can, having backup options when life gets in the way, recognizing that short workouts still count, tracking your progress, turning the numbers into a game, and eventually making the pursuit part of your daily routine.

Because nobody rides 10,000 miles in a day.

Nobody completes 250 workouts in a week.

Nobody walks 3 million steps in a month.

You do today's piece.

Then tomorrow's.

Then the next one.

And eventually something that looked ridiculous at the beginning of the year starts looking possible.

Whatever your goal is, pick your number. Break it down. Track it. Build your life around it. And keep stacking days.
