To Winter Arc or not to Winter Arc?

To Blanket Goblin or not Blanket Goblin?

Today’s chat is all about approaching winter when it comes to training, and allowing yourself to embrace the cosy season when you struggle with the change in seasons or find you’re affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder more at this time of year.

We shouldn’t let our environment change get in the way of our enjoyment of training, but we also shouldn’t put pressure on ourselves to overtrain or go ‘dark mode’ for winter.

Let me know your thoughts!

Today I have my coach Tom Smith on to chat about Low Volume training. Low volume is getting thrown around a lot, but it can be very different for everyone depending on training age and time availability.

We speak about balance, recovery, session frequency, the minimal effective dose to make progress, and considerations for hybrid training.

I also thought it would be cool for you guys to hear from the person that is a mentor to me, as a coach and a leisurely athlete. I hope you dig it!

The time reality check… we do not have a lot of it at all.

Last year I hit a bit of a wall in August. I felt like I was doing everything right but I still just felt like I was on a constant hamster wheel with work, life, socialising and I felt like I was missing out on a lot.

I sat myself down and spent 30 minutes mapping out all the things I was trying to fit into my week, including travel time, transition time and all those little tiny life admin things that stack up… and what I realised was that I was trying to fit in FAR more than I actually had time for, which meant things like my sleep, social life and down time was all taking the hit.

I’ve spent the last year changing my working life, being more realistic on what I can take on and achieve in a week, and things are slowly starting to shift.

As someone with ADHD, time blindness is something I struggle with, so this practice really really helped me get my life together a little more from a time management perspective.

This is something that has also resonated a lot with the folk that I coach, so I decided to make a free resource so you can use the very same exercise that gave me a time reality check, to give you the space to do the same if you’re currently struggling with your time availability for the basics like workouts, a grocery shop, chill time, social time outside of work.

I really hope it helps, and. Let me know your thoughts after you listen!
