Are You Overtraining or Under-Recovering? Here's How to Tell | Q&A Episode

from The Alchemical Life · host Abigail Crowe

SummaryIn this episode, I'm breaking down how recovery might be the greatest tool you AREN’T taking advantage of in your training to see MASSIVE progress. How and why sleep, nutrition, and hydration aren't negotiable if you want to actually adapt and get stronger. I also share what's been going on with my own training lately, why I finally hired a coach (and why you probably should too), and get real about what it actually means to listen to your body. I also answer your questions about my journey, managing change, and how to know when to push versus when to back off. If you've been grinding hard but not seeing results, this one's for you.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Personal Updates04:12 The Importance of Recovery08:59 Understanding Sleep and Nutrition16:05 The Role of Macronutrients in Recovery20:23 The Importance of Fats in Performance22:51 Electrolytes and Hydration for Optimal Performance25:54 Adaptations and Efficiency in Sports Training29:33 The Role of Coaching in Athletic Progression33:33 Navigating Change and Personal GrowthMY COACHING: https://coach.alchemicaltraining.com/welcomeMY WEBSITE:  www.alchemical-training.com DISCOVER YOUR PROGRAM: https://www.alchemical-training.com/quiz MY SOCIALS:instagram: www.instagram.com/abigail.croweFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1HvsU9Ajas/?mibextid=wwXIfr Don't forget to leave a review!!!
