Episode 57: You Have an Energy Budget—Here’s How to Manage It
In this solo episode, Chris explains energy management, the skill that sits above self-talk, visualization, and every other mental skill in your toolbox. You will learn why endurance events are energy cascades, how your physical, intellectual, and emotional inputs all draw from one pool, and how the 1-to-5 arousal scale shows whether your energy fits the day’s job. Chris then carries the same three questions from a single workout and race to a training block, a season, and a ten-year career.
The three questions of energy management:
What affects my energy?
Is my energy at the right level?
Can I change my energy when I need to?
