Suffering is a gift.  Suffering changed every part of Troy’s life.  The gift is how you work through the change to mold and change who you are.  Ultras push Troy up against a limit and nothing is a given.  It’s important that everyone experiences something really difficult and doing hard things is where real growth happens.   Proud farther, husband, ultra endurance runner and commentator’s motto is “I don’t know a stranger.”  - Troy Meadows   Troy was blessed to travel the world before he was 18 years old and a self-proclaimed vagabond in his 20s. Ultralight backpacking was where Troy picked back up his love for the remote outdoors.  Troy would pull out a map, would circle an area to let his girlfriend, now wife, know a radius of where he’d be and let her know the time frame.   Troy ran cross country in high school, gave up running for a bit and then picked it back up in his 30s after a couple of traumatic events.  Since Troy had experience in backpacking coupled with his love for nature, ultra endurance even

How do we stay on track when something gets us off course.  Writing out tasks or chunking up the work into smaller pieces has helped get the big task done.  I've been resetting quite a bit lately and that too seems to help with expectations.  

Kim started her athleticism as a four-year-old.  Kim has played several sports through her school years and hated running.  Ironically, Kim now is an ultra-runner.  Currently, Kim is a register dietician, RRCA Road Running Coach, Precision Nutrition Level 1 Nutrition Coach and a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer.  Kim had great ideas to get past the ‘guilt’ of the holidays.  Bring a dish to pass that you know that you’ll like and it’s healthy.  Keep hydrated, take small bites of the foods that you want to try.  Also, Kim reminds us to eat a normal breakfast, and the other meals can be a fun meal.  One meal isn’t going to make or break our weight loss or performance journey.  Kim does recommend limiting alcohol as there are empty calories, our bodies don’t like digesting alcohol and it’s not useful for us.    Going into 2025, what can your non-pro athlete do to help get through the year.  Staying hydrated is number one.  Starting your day with water is start.  Protein is also at the top of this list.  Many people need

Dare to dream.  Why does Frankie do hard things?  It’s the view from the top and what you can learn about yourself in the process.  In 2015 Frankie was camping in Colorado and noticed that people were hiking on the Colorado Trail with lots of stuff on their backs.  Once Frankie got home, she researched and watched movies which led into two years of training including about 800 miles on the Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin, then moved to the Colorado Trail in 2017.  Frankie lives and works in three different states.  How does she keep her routine?  Frankie plans out for her trips and packs an extra bag with supplements, bands, her yoga mat, extra shoes and a weighted vest.  She also keeps an extra set in Colorado and has a gym membership that she can use in different areas.  Training is important to Frankie so she makes it a priority.  You can follow Frankie at: Instagram – frankie_averill Facebook – Frankie Dawn Averill   You can follow the I Can Do Anything Podcast at: Email me at – icandoanythingpod@gmail.com Wat
