Training Tips With Tara
We asked Tara Frieberger to give us some training tips!
Tip #1: Put on workout clothes. Then you’re halfway there! I try not to overthink it. When I’m sitting at my desk and I’m hungry and tired and dreading the thought of a pollen-encrusted lunch run, I just have to grab my stuff and go. I tell myself daily that the only bad workout I have is the one I didn’t do.
Tip #2: Just get down there. Even if it means sitting on the comfy recumbent bike in the Coliseum for 8 minutes while trying to beat level 97 on Candy Crush. There, I said it, don’t judge; both are harder than they look. And both make you sweat. Score!
Tip #3: I also believe that when something stops being fun, it’s time to try something new. Your body will stop responding when you do the same workout every time. It’s good to change it up, test new muscles and push yourself to new levels. Try things that scare you a little bit.
Tip #4: Get in what you can when you can. On the days that my job, motherhood and life just get in my way, there’s never an excuse to not get in 10 pushups before bed or a couple of squats while brushing my teeth. Every little bit counts. Get after it and enjoy the ride!
Interesting fact about Tara: She was on the Canadian National Team for swimming and went to three consecutive Olympic Trials, 1992, 1996 and 2000. And then didn’t touch a pool for almost a decade.
Favorite style of training: I like to keep it relaxed and fun. When I put too much pressure on myself at this stage in my life, I find myself wanting to quit. I wouldn’t be able to keep my motivation up without the encouragement of all the great runners in the building who drag me to the elevator every day, especially Liz Miller, Devin Ray and Robyn Melhuish!
Current fitness goal: I am training for my first full Ironman on September 28th in Chattanooga and I’m raising money for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America! *SIDE NOTE: If anyone would like to support Tara's cause, that would be awesome. Even the smallest amount helps so much! The link is below.
