Todays episode is answering some client questions:

How to deal with major stressful life events (e.g. house sale) without dropping the ball on nutrition and fitness How do I get over the fear of setting performance goals? Or rather the fear of failing in performance goals? I have a hard time believing in myself so I fear failing because that feels like fuel to my lack of self belief. I don't want to fuel it.

Todays episode I'm joined with Kevin from Total Endurance and we cover:

Tracking consistency and enjoyment of training Getting caught up in other people's data Cadence Looking at your trends over time with heart rate, paces and effort How you read and respond to the data Heart rate zones - what do they mean? Advice for beginners looking at data Advice for trail running looking at data Switching to effort for running hills/trails instead of specific paces Understanding power data Should we be looking to improve our VO2 max? Looking at recovery trends to be more aware of any issues to be proactive Stay in your own goals to reduce the comparison and increase the motivation to work on the areas required to make improvements Getting caught up with arbitrary numbers that are not helping you improve your running
