What happens to your fitness journey when your body stops playing by the rules?
In this week's episode of UR Podcast, we're diving into the often invisible world of training with chronic conditions.
The gym floor over the years has opened up discussions on everything from heart health and diabetes to MS and Lyme, with many athletes and some of our own community fighting battles that no one else can see.
Andy's been there, in the eye of the storm, and finding a path back to strength, so we'll touch on that story, but ultimately, we know that you are not your diagnosis.
We'll have a look at how we figure out the minimum effective dose for training, learning to control your condition rather than letting it control you and navigating the gym floor when your symptoms aren't visible to others.
Whether you're newly diagnosed, supporting a friend or training partner, or a coach looking to serve your community better, we hope you'll find something useful in this latest episode.
We'd love to hear from you, too! Have you had to adjust your training due to a chronic condition? How do you meet yourself where you're at on the tough days? Please let us know in the comments here or wherever you listen to podcasts.
