What if tracking is hurting your progress? In this episode, I speak with my podcast producer, Tony, about tracking in its many forms and how I think about it in the context of my own training and applied neurology practice. I discuss some more common tracking practices like steps, calories, macros, heart rate, weight/reps/sets, sleep etc. as well as some more neuro-specific practices like tracking pain, breathing, balance, and cerebellar testing. I discuss the pros and cons of these methods, identify the ones I use most personally and with my clients, and offer some insights into how to think about tracking not as a goal unto itself, but as a tool to inform your training and lifestyle habits or to educate yourself as an athlete or coach. I also discuss the relationship between interoception and chronic pain, and how focusing inward is a powerful tool that can sometimes be counterproductive. This is a free-ranging conversation around the many forms of tracking with many powerful training and applied neurology insights sprinkled throughout.
