I have NO BUSINESS being this fast 💨 I recently participated in a competition where one of the events was a 40 yard dash (with a 1 yard lead in) and I came in 6th with a time of 4.955 - only to be beat by current Olympians and former D1 track athletes 🤯 And then there I was, a 39 year old mom who ran a little bit of high school track 23 years ago… It made me sit back and reflect on why I’m still able to be this fast and compete at such a high level, and it really came down to doing these 5 things CONSISTENTLY. And I mean CONSISTENTLY over decades. I’ve treated myself like an athlete through every phase of my life including pregnancy (obviously scaled for safety) injury rehab, and motherhood. I think it’s easy to lose our inner athlete along the way, but when you remind yourself that there’s still an athlete within you and you train accordingly, you might just surprise yourself with how much you can still do 🫶 #fast #athlete #speed #speedtraining #sprint
