Regardability: The Heart of Our Coaching Philosophy
At Grit City Health, our coaching approach is built on support, empathy, and thoughtful guidance. We intentionally use the term "Regardability" instead of the commonly heard "accountability," as it better captures our core values and coaching philosophy.
Train Smarter, Not Harder
For many of us, free time is precious. When we choose to dedicate some of that limited time to training, we naturally want every minute to count. But it's easy to fall into patterns of training randomly, pushing harder and longer, believing more miles, more elevation, or more gym hours automatically lead to better results. Unfortunately, this approach often leads to setbacks like injury, burnout, and frustration.
When Does Your Recovery Start?
When does recovery start? It's a question that might seem simple, but the answer can profoundly impact your training and performance. For most athletes, recovery tends to be something that happens after the hard work—after the workout, the long ride, or the tough race. But at Grit City Health, we believe your recovery starts the moment you begin planning your training block.
