Episode 50: Too Much, Too Little: Finding Your Training Sweet Spot

I'm off hiking around Mont Blanc while you're listening to this, but I couldn't leave y'all hanging...so today we're talking about the two extremes I see all the time as a coach: doing too much and doing too little. Sometimes in the same athlete, in the same training block. We're human, life happens, and both extremes usually come from the same place...not trusting the plan, or not trusting yourself.In this episode:Why training guidelines (yes, even the Koop book) are guidelines, not gospelThe sneaky ways we overdo it...feeling good and adding more, chasing elite workouts, following a friend's planWhat athletes won't always tell their coach, or themselvesThe skip-and-shame spiral, and why double stacking runs is never the answerBuilding a plan for your real life, not your aspirational oneThe plan done mostly right, most of the time...that's what gets you to the start line ready.Links & Resources for This EpisodeFollow me on InstagramVisit my website: www.sunrisetrailscoaching.comWant to work together?
