Race Season, Meta Programs & Your Cycle: How to Train for Your Big Life Goals

from Cycle Hood · host Niousha Haghbin

In this solo episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of race season in Dubai and using it as a metaphor for something much bigger: your unique “race day” in life.I share how I’m training for the Burj to Burj half marathon, why I checked my cycle phase before I even checked my pace, and how your mindset on race day can override your physiology—when it’s built on respect for your hormones, not hustle culture.We dive into:• What meta programs are (your mind’s “operating system”) and how they shape your motivation, decisions and accountability• Why understanding if you’re toward/away, internal/external, options/procedures etc. changes the way you set goals• How to work with your menstrual cycle through the menstrual, follicular, ovulatory and luteal phases to protect your energy• The difference between male 24-hour hormonal cycles and women’s monthly cycles – and why copying men’s motivation content burns women out• Energy givers vs energy drainers, boundaries, and why missing a period is never “just a small thing”This episode is for you if you’re training for a race, building a project, or working on a big dream and you want to do it as a woman with a cyclical body, not a “small man.”🎧 Listen in, share it with a friend (or your partner!), and if you’re ready to go deeper into cycle syncing or life coaching, you can learn more at cyclehood.co or DM me on Instagram to book a discovery call for free.• Website: https://cyclehood.co• Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/nioushaan
