Thank you Kate for sharing your story. âPositive energy knows no boundaries. If everyone were to spread positive energy on the Internet, the world would be a much better place.â â Lu Wei
Oh mate!! So true.
What a great episode, I already follow Kate, but this has let us get a better insight into who she is. Hopefully she can carry on with this mindset to help her through such a mentally and physically tough sport for a long time to come.

Nutrition > sleep > training > stretching > rest đđđ
Kate push yourself and stay healthy i just wanna see you compete at the highest level. đđđ
It is great to hear this lady who is excelling in the rat race.... however, you can also Excel by summoning the discipline and courage to step out of the rat race.... It takes all kinds!
I think in cycling its all about nutrition. Everybody is strong but not everybody is eating properly. Eat to win kate. đđđ
Kate just push yourself on the race. And then if you blowout your energy just recover. đđđ muscle memory baby đđđ
Dont give up. Push yourself. Result is satisfaction.
Great meditation to start the day=] I love Kate Courtney's focus on praxis, process, preparation, and purpose.
Hopefully this season will be a strong one for kate.
