289. Cali Schweikhart on Utah Spartan Ultra, Disordered Eating, Good Pizza, and More!

July 19, 2022

After 2 years of wanting to have her on the podcast Mike finally pulled the trigger and invited Cali Schweikhart to be a guest on the show!

Cali has continued to be vocal with her experiences dealing with disordered eating. We are all about doing what we can to help reduce the amount of stigma in society when it comes to barriers that people face. We discuss how she handles it, how to identify potential warning signs for others, as well as how to deal with toxic training ideology!

Cali also very recently represented TORC and crushed her first Spartan Ultra and seemed to have had a great time running it. We talk about her experience at the Utah venue, her preparation for the course, in addition to her decision to not go through with the original plan of running the Ultra in New Jersey.

Be sure to follow Cali’s adventures on Instagram, support her sponsors like HumanN (Use CSCHWEIK10), Spring Energy, and Beam CBD (use CALI15), and reach out if you are looking for fun and functional fitness coaching!
