Tips for Making Real Progress as an Athlete:
1. Focus on Performance, Not Looks: Remember, training is not about looking pretty for social media. Leave that for the influencers. Instead, prioritize your performance, break a sweat and show off the pain face.. 🤣
2. Prioritize Recovery: Recovery is just as important as training. Take dedicated recovery days and sessions to allow your body to rest and rejuvenate. Elite athletes understand the value of rest and use this time to fuel their bodies and engage in light activities like walking their dogs. They don’t do 60 minute zone 2 and class that as a rest day. They take proper rest days to fully reset.
3. Customize Your Training Volume: Don’t be afraid to adjust your training volume based on what works best for you. While following a training plan is important, it’s also essential to listen to your body and make adjustments accordingly. Learn to understand your own needs and tailor your training to suit you.
4. Periodize Your Training: To continue making progress, incorporate periodization into your training. This involves adding more volume in various ways, such as increasing reps with the same weight, adding sets, or reducing rest times. By constantly challenging yourself, you’ll ensure continuous improvement.
Remember, the goal is long-term progress and personal growth as an athlete. Keep pushing yourself, stay consistent, and enjoy the journey!
