Motivation and consistency
“I always start strong and then quit.”
Motivation is a mood, so we build around structure instead. A booked class, a coach who notices when you are missing, and training partners who expect you carry the weeks when motivation does not show up. Consistency here is a system, not a personality trait.
From Dai's writing: How to stay motivated on days when you want nothing more but to binge on Netflix (2016)
Stress and burnout
“I'm too burned out to add a workout.”
It depends entirely on the dose, which is why we ask about sleep, work load, and stress before programming anything. On a flat week that can mean Zone 2 work, breathing, and lighter loads. Training should leave you steadier, not more depleted.
Tell your coach what kind of week you are having. Adjusting the session is normal, not a setback.
From Dai's writing: From Lions to Laptops: The Evolution of Stress in the Modern Workspace (2024)
Stress and burnout
“Nothing I try shifts the weight around my middle.”
Chronic stress and short sleep change how your body stores fat, so more hard training on top of an already loaded nervous system can stall progress. We look at sleep, stress, food, and training together before turning any dial up.
From Dai's writing: Your mid-section, why stress leads to weight gain (2015)
Training after 40
“I'm over 40 and I'm tired all the time.”
Persistent fatigue after 40 usually has several inputs: sleep debt, under-eating protein, alcohol, stress, and in some cases hormones worth checking with your doctor. Strength work is one of the few levers that improves energy rather than borrowing it.
