In this episode, we draw an analogy between encountering a '404 Page Not Found' error on the web and hitting a plateau or decline in one's training plan, particularly for runners over 40. We discuss the changes in physiology and life circumstances that necessitate a new training approach, including changes in hormonal levels, stress management, and adjustments in workouts to reflect current fitness capabilities. We emphasize the importance of accepting these changes not as failures but as opportunities to redirect training strategies. The episode also highlights the mental shift from focusing on becoming thin to becoming strong, the need for proper nutrition, recovery, and addressing the stories we tell ourselves about our abilities and future potential. Encourage listeners to identify the 'broken links' in their training and find new paths forward.01:44 The Frustration of Broken Links and Training Plans02:32 Understanding the 404 Moment in Training05:48 Adapting to Physiological and Life Changes10:09 The Importance of Acceptance and Adaptation15:42 Case Study: Overcoming Training Plateaus20:44 The Role of Plateaus in Training25:19 Training with the Right Mentality26:04 The Importance of Recovery27:02 Balancing Intensity and Recovery29:27 Shifting Focus: From Thin to Strong36:50 The Power of Stories We Tell Ourselves37:28 Embracing New Training MethodsJoin the 30 Day Running Reset and get a plan that will help you build a strong and injury-proof body by combining running and strength training in a way that actually works for runners like you.Gain access to my new secret podcast, Unbreakable: The Runner's Guide To Injury-Proofing Your Body After 40.
