MEMBERS' CHOICE:  The Athlete Identity

How do we define being an "athlete" or "(trail) runner"? Together, we'll explore how the identities we choose shape our confidence, motivation, and sense of belonging. What terms and perspectives can help reinforce positive outcomes while avoiding negative comparison and imposter syndrome?

SUSTAINABLE HABITS

Training — and life — takes dedication to routines that support healthy physical and mental development. But how do we build routines that actually work and that we can stick with? Willpower will only take you so far before burnout hits. For sustainable habits, we need to intentionally shape our environment to support and reinforce the behaviours we want to maintain. In this workshop, we’ll discuss strategies for building strong, healthy training habits that are realistic, sustainable, and achievable over the long term.

NUTRITION II

Building on the fundamentals covered in Nutrition I, this session goes a step deeper into what to eat and when to eat it across different stages of training. We’ll explore specific foods, simple recipes, and practical meal-planning strategies to support recovery, long efforts, and busy weeks––with adaptable ideas and take-home recipes to fuel your training sustainably

November

~ Workshop Break ~

OPEN Q&A + COMMUNITY CHECK-IN

As the year winds down and the holiday season approaches, this session is an open space to connect, reflect, and ask questions. Join us for a relaxed Open Q&A + Community Check-In, where we’ll chat about training, mindset, recovery, and whatever else is on your mind. Come with questions, curiosities, or just to listen — no agenda, no pressure, just our amazing trail community.

For Sustain Run Club, we enjoy the beautiful trails of the Syilx Okanagan NationOther Sustain Athletics activities are largely based on the lands of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and sÉ™lÌ“ilwÉ™taɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Thanks, we'll get back you soon!
