Hey all our friends of UF. I am typing this while sipping my coffee and enjoying the lack of humidity that Colorado Springs offers. I am doing minimal work during my trip out west. One thing I did want to do is type this blog. We have been dealing a lot with mental health and life help recently, as the last year and a half has reminded me to take care of your mental and physical health.
Tips for traveling and training.
- Take some time off! Enjoy your trip. Don”t fret over one or two missed training sessions.
- Plan your training so your trip is time for a deload or recovery time.
- If you must train set rules around your training. I set a clock when I enter the gym and whatever I can finish in 45 minutes gets done. The rest I don’t worry about.
- Use nature! Do something different and allow your body to move differently. You could hike, climb, bike, or even do an extreme sport such as zip lining.
- Enjoy your meals. You are on a vacation, be sure to enjoy it and don’t sweat each and every meal.
- GET SOME REST! The idea of a vacation is rest and recovery, as well as learning new things about the world. So when you return you should be re-inspired to train harder, push harder, and enjoy your training more.
As for me I have a few plans while here. One I am renting a bike that I would never purchase (it cost more than my car). I plan on riding two of the most famous trails in Colorado Springs and doing some fun hiking (2,000 vertical foot down hill trails).
Thanks for reading this and I hope this helps you a little on your next trip. Until then, call Curtis when things in the gym break cause I won’t have cell service :-).
Stay Human.
