How To Balance Training With Life

Assemble Performance Podcast

In this episode of the Assemble Performance Podcast, I discuss how to balance training with a busy everyday life. As someone who is also managing multiple responsibilities, including triathlon and strength training, parenting, coaching, and a full-time job, I share my own strategies and experiences.
We delve into the impacts of curated social media content on our expectations, the importance of setting realistic goals, and actionable strategies such as time audits and blocking. Additionally, I emphasize the significance of mindset, particularly focusing on learning from the 'man in the arena' philosophy. Join me as I share insights and practical tips for achieving balance and success in training while navigating the complexities of ordinary life.
