Do you support friends who run marathons while doubting that you would ever have "what it takes" to run a marathon? Do you doubt your ability to complete a notoriously difficult hike near where you live? Do you fear you will not be able to outrun the zombies during the inevitable invasion? (let's just hope they're more "Shawn Of the Dead" and less "28 Days Later", eh?) I have a counter thought for you - you CAN do the physical activities you are avoiding due to fear of failure, or fear of not having what it takes (seriously, what even is that). You can hone your mental and physical skills to perform in incredible ways. And I am here to help you get there. And outrun the zombies in the apocolypse.
Imposters, welcome to the new series of the YNQ pod - Endurance Series. I will share my stories and other people will share their stories about pushing their mind and body beyond what they thought they were capable of in the mountains, in tough races... whatever looks too hard for the "average folks" - which is not you. Extreme endurance sports are for you - I promise.
We are kicking it off with an encore of Lisa Thompson's episode - the second American woman to summit K2 and a personal hero of mine.
Go climb that mountain.
The episode You're Qualified - To Climb Mountains **ENCORE** [Endurance Series] from the podcast You're Not Qualified - A Podcast has a duration of

You're Qualified - To Overcome Your Mental Hurdles [Endurance Series]
Mindset is everything in endurance sports. If you think to yourself - "I cannot do this, it is too hard" - guess what, that is not factual. That is your imposter syndrome talking. Your body can go a lot longer, and a lot harder, than your mind will allow you to believe. So... move around that hurdle. Need help? How about a mindset coach?
Courtney chats with Shannon Vit, a mindset coach for athletes. We cover how she helps athletes perform at their very best and overcome mental barriers, learn emotional regulation, resilience, and so much more.
Let's level up.

You're Qualified - To Become An Endurance Cyclist [Endurance Series]
Cycling from Alaska to Argentina may seem like something a "normal" person could never do... but James Benson King is here to tell you - it IS something that YOU can do. Endrance cycling is not for the faint of heart, but around here we are brave and do things we aren't "qualified" for all the time. So, go find a cause that lights a fire in you and do something you never thought you could. Right after you listen to James' experience with cycling across continents for a cause close to him, of course.

You're Qualified - To Become A Runner [Endurance Series]
Becoming a runner is the beginning of many people's journey into becoming active. It is approachable, and has a low startup cost - (sometimes) you buy some running shoes, and you literally head out the door or jump on an (ideally not moving yet) treadmill and get to setting one foot in front of the other in a faster fashion than you usually do. Running is the gateway to fitness for so many people. But WHERE does one start when they want to begin their journey with a bit more structure? Well, howabout a running club?
Courtney chats with Beth, founder of Running Evolution, a running group and business with a ton of resources in the Seattle area. There are options if you are not in Seattle as well, so this is for YOU too! If you want a structured plan for a "couch to 5K plan", or if you really just want a buddy to cry with when those miles really hit you hard, running clubs are where its at.

You're Qualified - To Run A 100 Mile Ultra Marathon [Endurance Series]
Our minds are weak - we want to take the easy way out. We don't want to suffer. If we want to pursue endurance sports, we need to learn more about this weakness, and learn how to work with it and, sometimes, around it.
Join Courtney as she chats with Rafael Hidalgo, finisher of the 100 mile UTMB course in Chamonix, France, about what it takes to become an ultra runner and compete on one of the largest running stages in the world. Let's become smarter than our brains.

We Are Qualified - To Become Mountaineers [Endurance Series]
Hello, Imposters! Welcome to a special episode - the first solo episode of the You're Not Qualifed podcast.
Courtney walks through her mountaineering experience to date, lessons learned and stories about her trials by fire. From Mt. Saint Helens to Ecuador, development of physical and mental strength have been equally necessary to hone, but have been often elusive. A theme has also emerged... there will be tears.
Let's go climb mountains.
