A HALF-DOZEN THINGS YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ME. 👀😂⁣
⁣
You've seen the workouts, the running shoes and probably enough dumbbells to last a lifetime.⁣
⁣
But the woman behind Coach Emm?⁣
Well… she comes with a few interesting factory settings. 🤓⁣
⁣
1️⃣ I have a competitive streak. 🏃‍♀️⁣
If you happen to choose the treadmill next to mine, I hope you've warmed up. Because one of us is racing, and the other one doesn't know it yet. 🤣⁣
⁣
2️⃣ Dachshunds are my emotional kryptonite. 🐾⁣
One glimpse of those ridiculously short legs and my voice enters a frequency range normally reserved for dolphins. 🥹⁣
⁣
3️⃣ I express affection in caffeine. ☕️⁣
Some people say "I love you." I say "Can I make you a coffee?" Same thing, really. ❤️⁣
⁣
4️⃣ My workouts occasionally frighten their creator. 😳⁣
I'll write a program, look at it and think, "What kind of monster came up with THIS?" Then remember. Oh. Me. 😂⁣
⁣
5️⃣ My Garmin is the official keeper of truth. ⌚️⁣
No recording? No witnesses? No evidence? Your Honour, I submit that the workout never happened. ⚖️⁣
⁣
6️⃣ I have an unhealthy attachment to Ziploc bags. 🤷‍♀️⁣
Some women never leave home without lipstick. I never leave home without a resealable plastic bag. Prepared for WHAT? Excellent question. 🤣⁣
⁣
So there you have it!⁣
Part athlete. Part farm girl. Part coffee machine. Part competitive menace.⁣
⁣
100% work in progress. 😂⁣
⁣
And this is only the FIRST half-dozen.⁣
There are more confessions. Some arguably worse. 😳⁣
⁣
YOUR TURN! Which one made you laugh, and which one sounds suspiciously like YOU? 👇🤣⁣

So… what IS the best time of day to train? ⏰🏋🏻‍♀️⁣
If every day were textbook, I’m a morning-training girl. Get up. Get it done. Before work, kids, meetings and life start negotiating with you. 😂 ⁣
⁣
But here’s the important bit:⁣
There’s no strong scientific evidence that one specific time of day is universally “best” for everyone.⁣
Your goals, sleep, schedule, body clock - and most importantly, consistency - all matter.⁣
6am. Lunchtime. 5pm. Even 7pm because that’s the only gap life gave you. ⁣
⁣
Don’t skip a workout because you missed the “perfect” time.⁣
A training session done at the wrong time beats the perfect session you never did. 😏⁣
Consistency > perfect timing. Every time. 💪🏻 ⁣
⁣
Now I’m curious… 👀⁣⁣
What time of day do YOU usually train?⁣⁣
🌅 Early bird?⁣⁣
☀️ Lunchtime mover?⁣⁣
🌇 After-work warrior?⁣⁣
🌙 Or whenever life gives you a gap? 😂⁣⁣

And if I line up again in 2027, it will be my 10th Comrades. ❤️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But this time, I’m doing it differently.⁣⁣
I’m not going back to race it.⁣⁣
I’m going back to COACH it.⁣⁣

From base building and qualifying to strength training, nutrition, fuelling, long runs, Comrades-specific preparation, mindset, tapering and race week.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We’ll prepare for this thing properly. 💪🏻⁣⁣
And after nine months of working together, I’ll be lining up too.⁣⁣
Same road. Same finish line. One very special journey to Durban. ❤️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🏃🏻‍♀️ 9 months of coaching⁣⁣
🏋🏻‍♀️ Running + supplementary strength⁣⁣
🥑 Nutrition & fuelling guidance⁣⁣
⏱️ Training & race strategy⁣⁣
🧠 Mindset & Comrades preparation⁣⁣
📲 Ongoing online Coach Emm support⁣⁣
🤝 Private running community⁣⁣
⁣
R799/month × 9 months⁣⁣
or⁣⁣
R6,500 once-off⁣⁣
Your entry got you onto the start list.⁣⁣
Now let’s earn the finish. 🔥⁣⁣
COMRADES 100.⁣⁣

My relationship with creatine: it’s complicated. 😂⁣
Creatine has an impressive evidence base, and there are very good reasons it's one of the supplements I recommend to many of my clients.⁣
But personally? My body votes NO. 😅⁣
⁣
The water retention I experience leaves me feeling like I've swallowed a small inflatable pool… with an anaconda wrapped around my waist for good measure. 🐍😂⁣
⁣
That's my experience, not an argument against creatine.⁣
Different bodies. Different responses. Different preferences.⁣
Good coaching isn't about blindly following whatever supplement is trending this week. It's about understanding the evidence and the individual in front of you.⁣
⁣
Science matters. Individual response matters too. 😏⁣

I would LOVE to hear about your experience with creatine 🤓🙏🏻

When exactly did cardio become the enemy? 😂⁣⁣
Women over 40 absolutely need strength training.⁣ We need muscle. We need strong bones. We need strength for the decades ahead.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But we also have a heart. 😊❤️⁣⁣
Cardiovascular fitness matters too.⁣⁣
You don't have to choose a team.⁣⁣
Lift weights.⁣⁣
AND walk. Run. Cycle. Swim. Hike.⁣⁣
Build muscle and build a strong cardiovascular system.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Because the goal isn't simply to look good at 50.⁣⁣
It's to have a body that lets you keep doing the things you love for as long as possible.⁣⁣
Strong. Fit. Capable.⁣⁣
And preferably… an absolute MENACE at 80. 😈😂⁣⁣

Skinny is having a moment again. 👀⁣
And before anyone comes for me 😂 - this is NOT an anti-GLP-1 post. Nor is it an anti-weight-loss post.⁣
It’s simply a reminder that smaller doesn’t automatically mean healthier.⁣
Especially as we move through our 40s, 50s and beyond, there are things worth protecting that the number on the scale cannot show you:⁣
Muscle. Strength. Bone health. Fitness. Independence.⁣

Of course we can want to lose body fat.⁣
Of course we can want to feel leaner.⁣
But let’s stop making smaller the ultimate prize.⁣
I want us strong enough to travel, climb mountains, carry our own suitcases and keep saying YES to adventures for decades to come. 😏⁣
Because ageing well isn't about becoming less of you.⁣
It’s about being able to DO MORE with your life.⁣
Skinny was never the finish line.⁣
CAPABLE is. 🔥 ⁣

How far can you go?⁣
I think somewhere along the way, especially as we get older, we become a little too sensible. 😅⁣
⁣
We start deciding what we should be capable of.⁣
What’s realistic.⁣
What’s appropriate for our age.⁣
Where our limits probably are.⁣
⁣
But what if you stopped assuming?⁣
What if you challenged yourself a little more?⁣
Raised the bar a little higher?⁣
Tried the thing you’re not entirely sure you can do?⁣
Not just in the gym. In life.⁣🙆🏻‍♀️
⁣
Because confidence doesn’t always come before the challenge.⁣
Sometimes it comes from proving to yourself that you were capable of more than you thought.⁣
So go on…⁣
How far can you go?⁣
You won’t know until you try. 🔥⁣
