I’m Carly, an independent-minded, adventure-seeking athlete, coach, and digital nomad. In 2015, I started Carly Outside with the goal of helping other runners and skiers thrive, and sharing my adventures while I traveled and ski raced.
In my coaching, I strive to emphasize the simple and powerful foundations of training that so often get overlooked. The goal of training is to adapt. Bodies require stress and recovery in order to get stronger. If we know how to listen, our bodies will tell us how to fine tune that stress (training,) and the necessary recovery.
“A great coach has gotten in touch with your private voice, and you begin to coach yourself. That is what makes an extraordinary athlete.” -Dr. Jim Loehr
In 2018, I developed Over-Training Syndrome, which kicked off a chain reaction of dis-ease in my body, ending my racing career and sidelining me from most aspects of my life. Three years after this nightmare began, I shared my story of Myalgic Enchephalomyalitis. My experience represents an extreme example of what can happen when we push the body relentlessly, but also demonstrates the body’s capacity for resiliency: a foundation of athletic development.
