Approaching life with curiosity and joy.
Today’s Guest: Jane Tabolt
Information:
Her first race was a 10K and then she went straight to Madison American.
She did her first Ultra at almost 40 years old.
When she got pregnant she trained to be an aerobics instructor.
Running is something that connects her to her parents because it was something they did.
In 2019 she competed on the track for the first time even though she knew nothing about this type of running.
Jane likes to learn to do new things and one of those was learning to swim butterfly.
When she was little they would watch a sports TV show and her father would take them outside to mimic the drills as a game and she hated it.
Things we discussed:
In her 20’s he grew to love becoming a school teacher.
At work she started running to socialize and to do something else.
We talked about Jane being post-menopausal and how that brought a glitch to her performance. She told us about the hormone therapy and how difficult the training was when she entered menopause.
Jane was not enjoying her 40’s and had to work at it.
She told us about the time she asked herself the question “Why am I doing this?
She wants to make the most of her body and mind and remain active like her parents who are currently in their 80s and 90s.
We talked about people’s limiting beliefs about age and how they believe that people can only run until they are 40.
We talked about changes in training depending on what you are going through in your life.
We also talk about respecting your body and knowing how to take care of it and what is your resistance capacity.
Bridge questions:
Her must-have piece of gear (kit) is a sort of metronome that goes under her bathing cap.
The most shocking thing she has ever seen was one night when she was camping and she went for a run at night and the sky was beautiful with the moon and a pile and for her it was one of these images that stays forever in your mind.
Word or phrase that describes her philosophy of life: Play!
