Hey, I'm Lyss!

I’m Exercise Physiologist, sports nutritionist, weight lifter, and ultra runner. I am here to bring science to your training in a no-nonsense way. I have helped thousands of women crush big lifting goals, cross race finish lines, and even do both. I’m here to help you do the same!

16 miles ☑️ longes trail run of training so far and training run since 2021 (minus my 22 mile race last fall).

Other nutrition not pictured here:
3 scoops of tail wind
1 liquid IV
3 mini KitKats
— totaling 836 Kcal during this run.

Got in ~2,265 feet of climbing mostly in 2 concentrated hills. Just as much down (more gradually luckily 🤝🏻) and a good bit of flat rolling.

Lots of high stoke and fun miles 1-9. Was dancing and singing downhill. But then felt a major “ufhskeuhd” miles 9.5-12. But around mile 10.5 gave myself a little “this is hard and it’s good it’s hard. We want it to be hard. Hard makes us better. Let’s lean into it.” Pep talk. Then got to the top and had 3 miles of rolling fun back to my car & 1.5 miles of terrible dehydrated, headphones dead, stomach drop, need to finish the last mile on pavement blah.

One of my two bottles broke during lap 1 so only had 1 on the second and that left me HURTING in this hot sun today.

But we got it done ☑️.

The mantra I leaned into and like a lot for this racing season:
Let easy be easy.
Let hard be hard.

Leaning into the run when it’s fun let’s you find those nuggets of joy. Leaning into it when it’s hard helps you accept it for what it is — sit in the hard — and not waste energy fighting it and just moving forward.

This was hard! And good! And the first day I’ve felt like these 2023 ultra goals can be real. But there is much more work to do 🫶🏻

A skill a lot of you / recreational trainees (us everyday average athletes) can really benefit from is breaking out of this idea that “if you’re not pushing all out all the time = not doing enough work”.

Or leaning into the idea that easy can be — easy. Easy effort, zone 2, sub max RPE’s, even our metcons — can be easy.

This is a skill. It takes humbling ourselves and our ego that workouts can be quality and “hard” while pulling back so they’re repeatable and recoverable.

Just as pushing hard but PACING the hard is a skill.

It’s not about going all out then burning out. It’s having similar paces or efforts on each interval, a well paced metcon, your lifting working sets being an even spread of effort vs. pushing to the max then failing the next set.

I find many people err toward the going all out and they’re neither pacing or pulling back. These are skills that come with time + fitness maturity. But they also require us to breakup with the idea that max effort = max results.

Easy work is hard work.
Sustained efforts are still hard.
Burning out the gate is easy.
💪🏻

New service 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼🏃🏽‍♂️💨. THIS IS FOR YOU IF — you have a lot of frustrations around zones, not really know what HR to run, where your zone 2 really is, why your HR is so high but it feels easy, etc. I wanted to offer something speicifc to help you with this!

Just a little training dump ✨Wrapping up a good block + finally feeling like we’re moving the needle forward again between dealing with injury, a move, work being chaos always & increased running volume the past year.

Transparently I’ve been less motivated and struggled with shifting into gear for a lot of workouts but just know that showing up matters. I get it in + done. I’m always glad I did. And this is the outcome of simply doing unsexy work and not making a fuss out of things not being “ideal and perfect”.

Hit some fun not all time highs but big numbers coming back I’m happy with + a lot of fun pushing body & bro upper body this block.

Keeping my accessories loaded too 😉🤝🏻. Heavy RDL’s and heavy high box step ups which I’ve kept in my training for like 4 months now. They’re helping a ton with my left side and I’ll never get bored of these moves.

Training by @noahgroover18 / @thelyssmethod — noah programs for BUILD, I program for PERFORM. And my training right now is similar to perform except I do power cleans + have some mods for my injury (box squats). But we offer swaps in the app too 💪🏻!

Almost anything I’m wearing here is @paragonfitwear (code LITTLELYSS) — most from the most recent collection which still has select pieces available 💪🏻
