Episode notes
Don't Over-Control Recovery
- Athletes often overthink recovery minutiae and sacrifice performance by trying to control everything.
- Trust prior preparation, use mindfulness or journaling, and focus on what actually moves the needle.
Meg's Skill-Redistribution Story
- Meg admitted she overtrained skills she was already elite at, like wall balls and lunges.
- She reallocated time to weaknesses, gaining more benefit than chasing tiny improvements.
Choose Consistency Over Volume
- Avoid daily double sessions and excessive volume if you have a full life; prioritize consistency over raw hours.
- Build slowly: add 30–60 minutes progressively instead of jumping to high weekly hours.
