Mindset strategy series #6 - 10 training strategies
The previous strategies I’ve been sharing in this series are applicable in most areas of life but the ones I have for you on today's episode are focused on training mindset. There may be some carry over to other areas as well but I wanted to put together some of the top strategies that I regularly use with my own training in case as some of them may be of value and benefit to you. There are 10 altogether - 3 that help me before a workout*, 5 during and 2 after. I wouldn't lean on all of them in any one workout, but they all come up regularly and then all help. Have a listen, try a few out, keep what works, discard the rest. Here are the 10 strategies: 1) Plan the session 2) Negotiate with yourself 3) Put yourself in the bin 4) No rep 5) Through the line 6) It’s why you’re here 7) Go beyond 8) Trash talk 9) Overcome and become 10) Just for you Enjoy! *My training is very varied - some running, some swimming, some cross training, some strength. Some (though by no means all) of my workouts end up with me pushing myself to my limite which isn't appropriate or desirable for everybody, but I wanted to share the strategies in their raw form and leave it to you to decide which ones are applicable to you!
