Ep. 315 - When Everything Competes for Your Attention...Your Training Pays the Price!

Episode Notes

In this episode, I’m sharing a recent conversation with one of my 1:1 clients who’s training for 100 miles.

She listed everything she’s juggling — work, family, aging parents, social media, world events, health concerns — and then said:

“I just don’t know how I’m going to do it.”

And that’s the point.

Sometimes it’s not your fitness.
It’s not your plan.
It’s not your long run.

It’s the mental load.

When everything feels urgent and important, your attention gets split.
And when your attention is split, your training starts to feel heavier than it should.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why you don’t need to know “how” yet
  • The hidden cost of constant input
  • Comparison (Strava, early morning posts, influencer culture)
  • The discipline of opting out
  • How to “build your bubble” and protect your focus

Your attention is finite.
If you don’t choose what gets access to it, something else will.
