Liz Perkoski On Her Solo Tahoe Rim Trail Thru-Hike - Snow, Bears And Not Enough Snacks!

YogiTriathlete Podcast

Welcome to the YogiTriathlete podcast; we are excited to be in person today with two YogiTriathlete team members: Liz Perkoski and her coach Melissa Gansz. We recorded this podcast during a recent visit with Melissa, who was in town from Pennsylvania, which she calls home, and she joined us to smackdown Liz's recent seven-day solo thru-hike on the Tahoe Rim Trail. We hope you feel empowered to take the leap in your life that calls to you and that you have the clarity to determine the next logical step in making your dreams a reality. In this episode, we discuss: - Biggest obstacles before hitting the trail - The big bear outside her tent - Headspace before, during, and after the adventure - Pivot on training to prepare for the trails - Body gratitude for showing up to do hard things - Strength training to prepare for the hike - Trusting in yourself and nullifying doubt and fear - Support from the universe - Thoughts on altitude and caffeine - Impact of the snow on trails - Using breath to find calm - Coach Melissa’s perspective on her athlete - What has meditation opened to you in life - 83.5 miles / 13,000 feet of elevation on the Tahoe Rim Trail - Nutrition breakdown - What did you learn about yourself - Don’t underestimate the kindness of strangers - Sunset from ‘the bench’ Namaste- Jess
