MorrFit Health and Performance

Are you wanting to get better at running, cycling, MTB’ing or even hiking?

“Yes Nathan of course I do”

The below subjects are some of the BIGGEST road blocks that most average joes struggle to get over. So if you struggle with staying consistent, or unable to get progressive results with your training…. these is some of the BIGGEST programming problems I see!

No.1 = Constant Intensity Variety

Look just as a small preface, the reason I know all of this is because I was doing it wrong for so long (like over a DECADE!!!) before figuring out what I was doing wrong.

So save yourself the struggles and use my failures to shortcut your success.

I always thought that getting fitter, faster and stronger was in need of constant intensity but also constant variety… you know to “shock the body”. Do/Did you ever say that to yourself?

Well I used to…. I thought that if I wasn’t constantly changing my training I wouldn’t “push” or shock” my body into a new level of fitness. #newlevelnewdevil kinda mindset.

Short cut = it doesn’t work like this.

The body will place in a physical adaption when a stress is hormetic and consistent. Meaning an appropriate dosage of stress that occurs frequently. If it does not occur frequently there is no need for the body to learn to cope with the stress (AKA, get fitter as you run more).

So even if you were to do the same style of activity like running each week. If your intensity is not consistent throughout your cycles of training, you will reduce the likely hood of an adaptation (unless you are a newbie). So for instance if you go from an easy aerobic session to the next day a sprint session all within the same week, you are reducing your chances for specific adaptations of that training block. As always context and timelines towards events is key, but most people try and throw every training intensity into one weeks worth of training.

It’s like people predicting when they will have a rest day…. like to think as if you will know how you will feel days in advance… #doesn’tworklikethis

You are best to block your training focuses to gain maximum results.

If you aren’t getting better at running, cycling or anything like this… you will want to specifically block your training focuses.

So if it’s a building aerobic phase, then STOP training at a high heart rate lol.

No.2 = Our Feelings Don’t Equal Adaptations

If you work with me, I am very upfront with my clients. Why? Because they are paying me big dollars to do the right stuff. So if a client is doing something that impacts their results…. I will be clear and open to them. You don’t hire a coach for them to program what you think you should do…. you can do that and fail for free lol……

Some pills are hard to swallow but that’s why you get a coach. Bypass all the bullshit and do what is necessary for the results.

Why do I write this?

Well just because you “want” to do one thing…. doesn’t mean it’s the best for your specific goal, current context and/or timeline.

For instance, I would rather not run all week, just work and spend time with my family and just head out every weekend and run 100km’s lol. Sounds stupid I know but to me that’s heaps more fun and interesting than running around a track watching my heart rate and cadence…..

What am I getting at?

I find this usually when people think that “fun” is a requirement for every weeks worth of training…. “fun” doesn’t always equal results. So you need ask yourself is it results I am after…. or just fun? And both is completely fine, but just know the difference.

If you ask me, fun is what a WORKOUT is for, immediate gratification. This is where you exercise but with real to little no outcome, other than the fact that’s good for you… and that’s compeltrly ok.

But as for training for something like running without pain, or running without being breathless take a specific method of training that requires you to most likely do shit you don’t want to do.

And it is… what it is.

So it really depends on what you want. Fast, efficient results tailored specific towards a goal and outcome… or just general fun and healthy activity.

Both is great, but decide first before your emotions get the better of you.

No.3 = Constant “PEAK” Mindset

Lastly, finding your peak level of fitness will come and go. It will build over the years, but it will never remain a constant in your life.

Many want to always train thinking with a mindset of “I want to be at my peak” 24/7. But reality hits and if you aim for a peak 24/7 you will be very disappointed.

This is why we have on cycles, off seasons, timelines and blocks of training.

A peak is just that…. a PEAK. The top, the best… the top of your triangle.

It is unrealistic to expect your body and mind to stay there.

So simply, set a goal with a timeline and this will be your expectation around a timeline for your “peak” performance.

If you aim to be there 24/7, you will realistically fail to have an appropriate periodised program that allows for progressive overload.

Progressive overload is the single most important factor to…. your results.
