The MEP Cycling retreat has become one of the things I look forward to most each year. This year was our third time out in Marin, CA exploring the roads, climbs, descents and meaningful conversation along the way.

The MEP Race Team aims to use movement as a team to bond, to push and support one another in the unique way endurance sport offers. Our training will bring us to the edge of these questions; Why am I doing this? Who am I? What is my purpose?

In July this year, we hosted our second cycling retreat in Marin, CA with an amazing group of people from around the country. Over four days of epic road riding, three nights of deep breathwork, group circles, authentic sharing and connection, we bonded, explored and grew.

Last spring I visited Move Lab in Los Angeles for back to back days; doing a Precision Run Analysis and VO2 Max Test. The experiences were both exciting and challenging, with self-doubts coming up around my ability and even how my ACL would stand up to running full out. I got a lot more out of the experience than I anticipated and you can watch the two video episodes below on each of the sessions.
