Gabriela Trana: An Outstanding Athlete

Gabriela Trana: An Outstanding Athlete

by | Nov 14, 2021 | ,

Sometimes it takes an outsider to recognize the talents of a person. A coach can provide the direction and the training plans, but it will take the athlete themselves to execute the plans. It takes years to see the full results, and you can expect there will be setbacks. Gabriela Trana is an international athlete who was born in Alajuela, Costa Rica. Growing up, she never dreamed she would be a flag bearer for the Costa Rican team during the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

Trana, however, is a two-time Olympian.

She’s a three-time finisher of the Army Ten-Miler (2009- 3rd 59:08, 2010 – 4th 58:31, and 2012 – 10th 58:25), and she’s chosen to share her running philosophy with you.

Everyone has that one friend. The one that you just can’t say no to, the one who doesn’t know any reasons to quit. They talk you into fun runs or volunteering for crazy events and every once in while…

…they get you to do something exciting, challenging, or just plain stupid.

Enter the 75 Hard Challenge.

HIIT has been shown in various studies to be more efficient at caloric burn in the fat-torching department than steady-state cardio, both during and after your workout. Everyone wants to get the most bang for their buck, so why not go to as many HIIT classes as possible?

Well, this is where we need to make sure we fully understand that not all HIIT classes are the same, specifically on the caloric burn level. This is where I’m happy to step in and shed some light on these HIIT-style workouts.

When Exercise Makes You Feel Worse

You know that old saying, “too much of any good thing can be a bad thing?” It’s true in just about every situation, including an exercise regimen. While a balanced amount of movement has its place in a healthy life, too much of it can cause devastating issues, including body dysmorphia, exercise dependency, even a full-blown exercise disorder.

Looking back to 2020, the amount of information on COVID-19 has only increased, and it hasn’t always been easy to follow. How do you process what you hear? How do you determine what you can do or not do? An important thing to remember, especially when it comes to your fitness, is that there’s no going back. We have to work with how things are now.
