Small Gains fam we are back!

I've been on a little Small Gains hiatus, but I'm back with lots to share.

August was wild with our first in-person Fuzz Culture Club lifting event. It was an emotional, joyful experience with clients from across the globe uniting and smashing their lifting goals.

I've also been battling a nasty bout of tonsillitis, and it's thrown a wrench in my half marathon and deadlift competition training, but we are locking in!

In this episode, I delve into sensible hunkering down to catch up on training without overdoing it.

Join me as I talk about maintaining my wellness basics and gearing up for my upcoming race and comp, and learn about what NOT to do when a period of illness has meant you haven’t trained as much as you would have wanted to.
