Listener shout-outs, a new Girl Dinner dish, and a reality check on fitting training around everything else.
Training doesn’t usually fall apart because of the workouts. It falls apart because of everything else. April and Kate get honest about jobs, travel, the friends who keep asking about Saturday, and the guilt that shows up when life wins a round. They talk through a workable training week when you only have four to six hours, why twenty minutes of strength work still counts, and how to train around your own body clock, whether that’s a 4 a.m. swim or a lunch-break pool session.
Then they get into the hard part: knowing when a missed workout is fine and when you’re dodging something you need to do. Kate shares how she leans on her coach for that gut check, and April explains why willpower is a habit you can build. They also debate whether your partner should get a vote on your race calendar, and when skipping a workout to show up for a friend is the right call. Plus listener shout-outs and Girl Dinner Hot Takes.
