منذ 25 يومًا37:33

37:33

In episode 397 of the Real Life Runners Podcast, we focused on the often overlooked component for improved running performance and injury prevention: the nervous system. While many runners emphasize training plans, mileage, strength training, nutrition, and paces, the regulation of the nervous system is crucial for optimal results. We delve into the autonomic nervous system, explaining the roles of the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) systems. Signs of nervous system dysregulation, such as constant fatigue, trouble sleeping, and frequent injuries, are discussed. We explore the methods for better nervous system regulation, including proper training plans, HRV monitoring, recovery techniques, and lifestyle adjustments like adequate sleep and nutrition. The episode underscores the importance of balancing stress and recovery to enhance running performance and overall well-being. 02:26 The Importance of the Nervous System in Running 03:20 Understanding the Autonomic Nervous System 04:12 Balancing the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Systems 08:45 Signs of Nervous System Dysregulation 12:44 Regulating Your Nervous System for Better Performance 16:09 Using HRV to Monitor Nervous System Health 23:03 Building a Stronger Parasympathetic Response 25:24 Lifestyle Factors for Nervous System Health Thanks for Listening!!

This week we dive deep into the concept of sacrifice in running. We discuss the necessary sacrifices runners must make to achieve their goals and how to know if you're sacrificing the right things. We address common pitfalls, such as sacrificing the wrong aspects of life or overdoing the variety in training to the detriment of progress. Learn that real progress may require giving up old beliefs, focusing on quality over quantity, and embracing the right kind of sacrifice to ensure long-term success and joy in running. This also touches on balancing running goals with family and personal life, emphasizing that sacrifices should be sustainable and aligned with individual goals. 01:38 Understanding Sacrifice and Trade-offs 05:10 The Myth of Having It All 12:02 Short-term Wins vs. Long-term Goals 16:09 Sustainable Sacrifice and Mental Health 22:19 The Dangers of Sacrificing Sleep 24:16 Sacrificing Progress for Variety 31:34 Balancing Consistency and Joy 35:17 Making Room for What Truly Matters 36:49 Quality Over Quantity in Training 39:27 Defining Clear Goals in Training Thanks for Listening!!
