169: 2024 Training: Wrapped

podcast@edgeathletelounge.com (Edge Athlete Lounge) — Mon, 30 Dec 2024 12:00:00 +0000

As the new year approaches, many people focus on setting resolutions or goals for the coming year. But this time is also a great time to reflect on how things went for you this year. In this episode, we break down how to do an athlete self-assessment to recap your year, and how to use that to help you set goals for the future.

If you'd like to do your own self-assessment, here are the questions we suggest:

1. GOALS
- What were my goals? Were they reasonable? Did I meet them?
- Do I still care about this goal?
- What factors played a role?

2. TRAINING
- Were you consistent?
- What plan did you use and did it work?
- What were your strengths?
- What can you improve on? (THIS is a great place to start thinking about base-building goals)
- What type of training did you like most? When did you have the most fun?
- What type of training did you dread or avoid?

3. LIFE
- Did you have any major life changes/events this year?
- How balanced did you feel?
- How did you navigate this balance
- Any periods you’d want to shift/reconsider in future years?
- Any races or distances you’d want to shift/reconsider in future years?

This is just a start! For more on goals, check out Ep 122: The Life-Changing Magic of Writing Down Your Goals: https://youtu.be/ZvTdrLgYFyc

podcast@edgeathletelounge.com (Edge Athlete Lounge) — Mon, 3 Jun 2024 11:00:00 +0000

Many athletes know the thrill of a great session — the effortless feeling, the sense of invincibility, or hitting a flow state. However, equally familiar are those tough days when nothing seems to go right. It’s easy to feel discouraged when training sessions fall short or races end in disappointment. Yet, these challenging experiences can be more beneficial than the easy, "good" days. In today's episode, we talk about why embracing the tough moments in your training journey can lead to greater growth and success.

podcast@edgeathletelounge.com (Edge Athlete Lounge) — Mon, 13 May 2024 11:00:00 +0000

Studies show the average person checks their phone every 12 minutes, or approximately 80 times each day. Some people check their phones even more frequently. With all of the buzzes and beeps, it is easy to be distracted by notifications popping up - and each notice comes at a cost: it takes about 23 minutes to return our focus to deep work on the task that was interrupted.

BUT: You can have control over your time, your energy, and your outcomes.

And we’re here to tell you how! Today, learn why - and HOW - to determine what notifications you really need and cut the rest.
