Our Top Five Hikes - Spring Edition
We've finished up 2026 training camp.
The goal is to always keep the wheels moving. Trail runs, hikes, walks, and lifts.
I've done a bit of online work to keep me connected and worked on a course. I've read and thoroughly enjoyed the active weather.
Mix that with visiting southern friends and a little bit of family time and we've created a recipe that works for us.
We've eaten great food and had great restaurant experiences.
A trip to the coast is not complete until we make a stop at Leucadia Donuts even though I'll pay for it later. ๐
We've picked up and 'moved' three times which has allowed us to have a change of scenery and experiences.
We've been in homemade condo gyms, resort gyms and hotel gyms.
We've walked palm treed sidewalks, ocean side sandy paths and the always entertaining streets of Vegas.
But the highlights are always our trail runs and hikes.
If you've read this far..
110 kms over 18 hikes.
Some are repeats but we always manage to find new ones.
I don't need harrowing climbs or tons of mileage but I do always appreciate a good view.
I've narrowed down our new top five for this year.
1. Liberty Arch and Colorado Overlook.
2. Historic Railroad Trail to Hoover Dam.
3. Calico Trails to Calico Tanks
4. Ryan Mt.
5. The Maze Loop
Honorable mention goes to Annie's Canyon Trail that led to the cutest little slot canyon. The only reason we went was because of the name.
As always you can follow me on AllTrails.
This concludes our spring training camp. Get out there, get moving. See some things. Engage with nature no matter how short of time. Take your family, find a friend, go by yourself.
Live life, stop watching others.

Training Camp 10.0
Anniversary Edition
Hard to believe it's been ten years that we have come to training camp...
Training camp is an intense pre determined time frame to prepare you for the upcoming season, increase training volume, and get you ready for what is to come physically and mentally.
Our 'camp' started out as a self imposed exile to rev up training, dial in, refocus...and it is still just that, self imposed exile in a place with active weather. It doesn't hurt that there are palm trees.
In 2016 I had shoulder caps, now in 2026 I'm just happy my shoulder isn't frozen any more.
In 2016 we ran the hills every morning as fast as possible. Now in 2026 we weigh our speed and competitiveness against the desire not to wipe out and die.
In 2026, it's showing up the best we can.
Over and over.
2025 and the start of 2026 have had lots of changes but we keep on keeping on.
Goals for our 2026 training camp:
โ
'Two a days' training.
โ
High intensity days and we throw in some low intensity days.
โ
Trail runs, hikes and lifts.
โ
Good food.
โ
Good sleep.
โ
More books and learning.
โ
Less social media and screen time.
โ
Less sugar.
โ
Less caffeine.
It's okay to be uncomfortable.
Try it, you might like it.
Ground force reaction....
Here's why it matters for females in particular.
Weekly plyo workouts are not just about box jumping, they can be simple drills for any starting point that create impact, load and power.
Get pounding.

Somedays I like winter, but it's even better with good food, big trees and great friends.

HRV....
Heart-rate variability (HRV) is one of the most valuable metrics an athlete can track because it reflects how well their nervous system regulates stress, recovery, and overall readiness.
It's a tool for managing the emotional and physiological stressors of competition.
Master the basics of breathwork so you can reap the benefits!

I came.
I saw.
I foliaged.
So much more in the last couple of days. Spending time with my girl, doing some sporting, and spending time amongst trees.
Life is good.

โ๏ธ Commercial pilots face unique stressorsโirregular schedules, long flights, and high responsibility in the air.
My latest client shared: โThe convenience of working around my schedule as a pilot as well as access to recorded breathwork audios was very beneficial. Jodian is professional, thoughtful, with an overall goal committed to global well-being for others.โ
Breathwork creates space for calm and resilience, no matter how demanding the skiesโor lifeโcan be. ๐๐จ
