Episode 158: What Happened After My Longest Hike Since Illness

Episode 158: What Happened After My Longest Hike Since Illness

In this episode, Anna shares the experience of completing her longest hike since chronic illness — a 21km hike lasting almost 6 hours — and reflects on what the following 72 hours revealed about recovery, capacity, and nervous system regulation.

This is not an episode about pushing harder.

It’s a conversation about what late-stage recovery often really involves:

  • understanding load distribution
  • preparing the body appropriately
  • supporting recovery intentionally
  • and learning how to take on bigger physical challenges without overwhelming the system.

Anna explores:

  • training and pacing considerations
  • planning around wider life stress and menstrual cycle timing
  • fuelling and post-exertion recovery
  • sleep and nervous system support
  • active recovery tools such as restorative movement, heat, cold and body work.

Blending personal reflection with clinical insight, this episode offers a realistic and grounded look at what rebuilding capacity can look like in the later stages of recovery.
