Are you overtraining?

A thought provoking episode to get you considering if your current training load is optimal for performance or if you are falling victim to overtraining.

In today’s episode, I discuss the concepts of overreaching, leading to overtraining and how that can turn into overtraining syndrome. 

I talk to you about the symptoms to look out for. 

I advise you how to reverse the symptoms of overtraining and how to build back your intensity and training load. 

I encourage you to think about whether you are getting the most out of your training volume and intensity. 

I also mention about wanting to do a podcast with a 'panel' of women currently going through perimenopause and menopause for a future episode. If you are interested in being part of this let me know.

In todays episode, I use my experience with competing abroad (Madrid, Valencia, Cologne, Warsaw, Bordeaux, Nice) to give you some top tips for competing abroad with Hyrox.

I discuss these tips from the point of view of:

- Planning stage (choosing the destination/flights/hotel)

- Packing Stage (what I advise packing for your Hyrox. Some of these tips are out of the ordinary)

- Tourism Stage (consider step count, eating opportunities, tourism itinerary).

- Competing (considerations for competing abroad vs competing in your home country)

- Post Event (tips for post event)

If you give it a listen then let me know what you think!

Todays podcast is a good one for self reflection and getting you thinking about your own motivation and consistency with training

During todays podcast episode, I discuss:

- What is your 'why'? On a deeper level and invite listeners to consider this

- Definitions of motivation (intrinsic/extrinsic/competence)

- Importance of 'perceived competence'

- Definitions of consistency (sessions per week/what is your reference point/ what do you define as consistency)

- Examples of goal setting/ not to overdramatise this (can be simple)

- The 'See Saw' of reasons to train vs reasons not to train

- Workout 'Windows Of Opportunity'

- Dealing with sessions that don't go as well as planned

- Self fulfilling prophecy and dichotomous thinking

- Setting yourself up for success with calendar planning/ non- negotiables

It's been a while since I recorded on the podcast.

In this episode, I discuss what I have been up to (briefly) since the last one (back in Oct) , why I haven't been recording for the podcast and why I am now recording for the podcast again.

I wanted to do this in one take, so as such I do go off on some tangents as that is just how my brain works. However, future podcasts will be more 'to the point'. Particularly, my educational ones!

It is a thought provoking episode where I ask you all the key questions to get you thinking about your Hyrox performance, so that you can create an action plan for your next Hyrox.

I also discuss Doubles strategies and how to analyse your doubles race, as well as encourage you to celebrate your achievement and talk to you about how to deal with a disappointing race.

In this weeks episode, I discuss reflections re Hyrox Cologne.

Hope you find it interesting.

The first episode via my podcast of my series 'Hyrox- The Road To The World Championships, May 27th Manchester'. Note: I say 'Episode 2' as the visual for this podcast is going up on Youtube and it'll be my second episode on YouTube. Type in 'Hannah Burgon PT' on YouTube to watch ep 1.

This episode I discuss:

- What my training has been like (briefly)

- The step up to pro category and what it entails

- Why I am looking forward to Hyrox Cologne and I am less nervous than previous Hyrox events

- I also briefly cover strategy.

Next week, I will do a debrief as to how Hyrox Cologne went and chat to you about what went well/needs improvement .

Within this episode, I discuss how to deal with setbacks, whilst opening up about some of my own setbacks/struggles during recovery.

I also discuss season 2 of my podcasts, which will be launching soon. Season 2 will be based on behaviour change. For my masters degree dissertation, I researched behaviour change in regards to the topic of adhering to nutritional guidance (in the form of action points). Season 2 will be highly educational and informative and will give you some food for thought as to how you may be able to change your behaviours. 

As always, thanks for listening.
