1
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: Hello from a very stateside, Emily, you were listening to

2
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: five Minute Friday from a Hurdle.

3
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: It feels great to be home.

4
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: I had the most unbelievable time traveling from Singapore to

5
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: Tokyo to Kyoto, which someone pointed out to me, is

6
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: Tokyo spelled differently. Just throwing that out there for anyone

7
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: who's never thought of that before. Anyway, I had an

8
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: amazing time. But it feels so good to be back.

9
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: And it's comical because I am back for a good time,

10
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: not a long time, and that I've got some more

11
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: travel on deck. Starting this coming Wednesday, I am heading

12
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: out to Los Angeles. Quick little event announcement. If you

13
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: are in the LA area listening to this, I want

14
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: to hang out with you and I want you to

15
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: come to an awesome event I'm hosting alongside ASEX on

16
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: Thursday evening, that is March fourteenth.

17
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 2: It's at the Huntly in Santa Monica.

18
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to be sitting down with a few ASEIS

19
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: ambassadors and some experts that are behind a study that

20
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: ASEX conducted. They're calling it Move Her Mind, and essentially

21
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: it showed a lot of tie is not so surprisingly

22
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: between movement and the benefits on mental health. So we'll

23
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: be addressing woman in sport, how we can all become

24
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: more active, and having just a really down to earth

25
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: and lovely discussion about the importance of moving our bodies.

26
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: The link to register for this event is in the

27
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: show notes. It is at six thirty pm again, that

28
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: is next Thursday, March fourteenth. On that note, one other

29
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: small item of housekeeping, I'm doing a talk live in

30
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: New York this evening at RAFA in Soho. I'd love

31
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: to see there. Details on this are in the show notes.

32
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: We're going to be having a little chat in honor

33
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: of today's holiday, which is International Woman's Day. So come

34
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: hang uh, would love, would love, would love love to

35
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: see you for today's episode of Five Minute Friday.

36
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: I want to talk about recovery.

37
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: I am five days post marathon right now, and my

38
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: main and only priority at the moment is doing what

39
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: feels good for me and my body.

40
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 2: It can be.

41
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: Really frustrating when you accomplish a big goal. You have

42
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: that huge celebratory moment and then there's like this massive

43
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: come down, right, and for me, there is so much

44
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: strategy in figuring out what's right for me, my body,

45
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: and my recovery strategy after a big event. Recovery is

46
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: bigger than just giving my body a break. It's spending

47
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 1: time with people that fill me up. It's doing things

48
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: that make me happy. It's reflecting on my experience and

49
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: processing my emotions and reflecting on what I want to

50
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: do next. And that is a really important point that

51
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: I want to make. It can feel really empty after

52
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: you're done, after you get to that mountaintop, right, not

53
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: just within setting goals that have to do with physical performance,

54
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: but heck, having a wedding or planning for any sort

55
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: of a big event. We do all this work gearing

56
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: up to this one thing, and when that one thing

57
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: is done, that inevitable empty feeling kind of creeps in.

58
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: And so today I encourage you, regardless of what your

59
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: mountaintop might be, ask yourself, what's next. We owe it

60
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: to ourselves to use our time to the best of

61
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: our ability, and right now I'm in the process of

62
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: figuring that out. Rather than feeling a lull or getting

63
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: what often many call the marathon blues, I look at

64
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: this recovery period as an opportunity, an opportunity to ask

65
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: myself what is it that Emily wants? And what is

66
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: best for Emily? There's so much power in the reframe,

67
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: and so I ask you this week what is best

68
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: for you? What is something that is on your radar

69
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: that excites you? And if you can't think of something

70
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: at the moment, now is as good of a time

71
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: as any to put something on the horizon.

72
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: And now a listener question.

73
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 3: Hi, Emily, My question is if you had to choose

74
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 3: one common nutrition myth to just eradicate somehow, which myth

75
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 3: would you choose? And why? Thanks?

76
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: Bye oh man so many but right now, top of

77
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: mind for me is the idea that carbs are bad,

78
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: especially after what I went through earlier this year, going

79
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: on whole thirty walled marathon on training and realizing just

80
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,559
Speaker 1: how depleted I felt as the days went on, large

81
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: in part because I didn't have the carbs that I needed.

82
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a mess.

83
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: We need carbohydrates, period, and it's sad right because carbs

84
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: get such a bad wrap.

85
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 2: According to the nutrition.

86
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: Guidelines, I believe that most people should be getting about

87
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: forty five to sixty five percent of their total daily

88
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: calories from carbohydrates. Now, that doesn't mean that I am

89
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: recommending you eat a diet high in things like pasta

90
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: and bread and candies and treats.

91
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: But there is nothing wrong with occasionally integrating these things

92
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 2: into the mixed period. I am someone that believes that

93
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 2: you can do everything in moderation and when possible, lean

94
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: into complex carbs. I'm talking beans, lagoons, fruits, veggies, whole grains.

95
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: They're higher and fiber and starch, which means you'll feel

96
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: fuller for longer. And I'm totally on team reach for

97
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 2: fruit like an apple or a pear or some grapes

98
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 2: to satisfy my sweet tooth lately. So yes, carbs are

99
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: your friend, period. Make sure you're following along over on

100
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 2: social It's at Hurdle podcast. I am over at Emily

101
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 2: Abadi another hurdle conquered. Catch you guys next time
