I've said before that the "no days off/you won't outwork me" mentality is hurting a lot of athletes, but I've noticed a concerning trend in the opposite direction recently. "Self care" posts are everywhere encouraging people to relax on their diets, training programs, sleep schedule, and overall effort level in their fitness regime.

In this episode, I explain how to find balance depending on your goals, and why you need to learn to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.
