Summary
Everyone wants to talk about diet, hydration, and sleep, but what about feeling connected to life, training, and purpose? Today, we look at how connecting, not only to others, but to your body and true desires can give you the lessons you need to be successful in sport and life. We get into how to approach training with the idea that you’re on the verge of getting sick. How to approach fatigue and the feeling of illness coming on. We talk about the importance of minimal effective dose and why that’s so important for the long run. If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, bring other people with you. There’s a lot of power in walking away from something that is done versus continuing to add more and more layers.
Topics:
- Asking for help

- We don’t want to be seen as weak
- Knowing just enough to be dangerous
- Are you filling or digging holes?
- Doubling down on anxiety
- 15 hours that turns into 20 or 30
- Stepping away from the grind
- We’re so busy we don’t know what we’re doing.
- Over committing
- The power in white/negative space
- Free time is awesome
- Truly wanting to get back in it
- Doing a sprint, oly and 1/2 before you do a full
- Overreaching
- Never “succeeding” enough

- Great is the enemy of good
- “Epic” Burnout
- Treat your workouts like you’re on the verge of getting sick
- Pay attention to your body
- Just Do Enough
