If you have a co-worker in the on ramp, please explain to them the value of rest. I don't think they believe it yet.
Rest is when we get strong.
Rest consists of sleep, mobility, FOOD, water, and more sleep. It is all of them, not some.
Fatigue:

Personally, from my experience, fatigue management should be a heirarchy of factors. All of the theories and foactors play a role, but through training, we learn to mitigate those issues and eventually, the elite athletes are left with the mental hurdles.
Try this: next time you run, think about being tired and fatigued and then run. Record your time. Recover. Then think about energetic things. Like rockets and racecars and lions tearing gazelles apart. Then run again and record your time. Compare. Notice anything? Repeat to ensure quality.

Here's your goal.
Go do a tabata of anything you want that will quantify your output somehow.
Row for total calories.
Airdyne for calories. (we have a couple upstairs in the wooden center)
Any other peice of equipment that has a power-output meter. Some of the bikes might.
Record score.
Give yourself a period of time to blow that out of the water.
FYI: My pr on the airdyne is 95 calories and it nearly killed me.
Awesome post. I have been working with my mind and the tired thing. Understanding the power of my thinking has been incredibly powerful.
ReplyDeleteit's very interesting.. anytime I need to slow myself down I just say the words "Old man" in my head. It immediately triggers me to move like my grandparents. If I need to wake up and move with a purpose, I usually say "fly" or something like that in my head. Little triggers that make a big difference in output and function..
DeleteLook the following video Russ, the new turkey get-up. We can try this with a partner during the training next time.
