🎙️ Welcome back to Ep 079 of The TrainAnything Show! This week, Dylan and John continue The Seasons of an Athlete series with Part 2: When to Push, When to Pause. Athletes are constantly asking, "What should I be doing right now?" but the better question might be, "What season am I actually in?" The conversation explores the different seasons every athlete experiences throughout the year: building, racing, recovering, recharging, and transitioning. Dylan and John discuss why so many athletes struggle to back off when needed, how guilt and comparison can push us into the wrong decisions, and why more work isn't always the answer. They break down the signs that it's time to push, the value of patient building seasons, and why sometimes the strongest move an athlete can make is to pause and recover. Along the way, they share personal stories, lessons learned from misreading the season they were in, and practical questions athletes can ask themselves to determine what they truly need right now. The takeaway is simple: the best athletes don't push all the time. They learn to recognize the season they're in and adjust accordingly. As always, it's a fun ride with some good nuggets, squirrels, and a little jingle... only on The TrainAnything Show. Please like and subscribe!
