A “holiday” can easily morph into a high-stakes logistics meeting in pastel. We often fill everyone else’s baskets with tradition and energy, yet leave our own internal accounts unaddressed. If this evening feels more like recovery from a performance than a rest from a celebration, it might be worth auditing where you went missing.
How much of today was spent fulfilling expectations versus finding a moment that was actually for you?
It’s easy to get lost in a HYROX race.
Lost in your thoughts.
Lost in the laps.
Lost in the pain.
So when and asked me to come to DC for their race, I came prepared.
Because once your heart rate spikes and the fatigue hits, the plan you built in training can disappear fast.
So I showed up with the whiteboard and ran the course with them — station to station, run loop to run loop.
Calling out splits when it would motivate them.
Watching which judges were being picky.
Helping them let go of a rough station and reset for the next one.
And most importantly, using the cues we built over weeks of training together — the ones they can still understand when they’re exhausted. Our own codes for pacing, timing, and mindset.
Their goal was 1:15.
I trained them for 1:10.
We met in the middle. 💪🏾
“I can” is either your greatest asset or your loudest distraction.
Take a look at the next thing on your schedule. Are you Choosing it because it leads to your goal, or are you just Chasing the feeling of something? What’s one thing you’re actually choosing to do today? Let me know in the comments. 👇

“Try harder” is can be the worst advice you can give someone.
We’ve been conditioned to think that more effort is the only path to a new skill. But if you’re swinging a rope—or pursuing a habit—without a foundation, you aren’t training. You’re just blindly guessing.
Blind guessing is the fastest way to burn out and stay stuck.
This week, a client proved that Pacing Wisdom beats “hustle” every single time. He didn’t just “try” to get his double-unders. He waited until he had the specific Next step, and the result was inevitable.
Swipe through to see why his “stalled” session was actually the secret to his biggest breakthrough.

I did 97 reps of a movement I didn’t know the name of.
Five minutes before the buzzer, I had to ask the judge what a “snatch” was. I was 80 lbs down and terrified that if I didn’t redline every day, I’d lose everything I’d worked for.
I wasn’t training. I was just running from a ghost.
Sound on to hear why I wish someone had stopped me—and how to tell the difference between building capability and just being reckless.
Choose Action Next.

Some of my clients are seeing the “melt” right now, but it didn’t happen in Week 1. If you’re frustrated that your “week of hard work” didn’t result in a total body transformation, remember the ice cube. You aren’t wasting effort; you’re storing it.

Can 🚫 Should.
Just because I can carry a lot doesn’t mean I should. The space between can and should is where your values get tested and where conflict lives. For a long time I told myself I was strong, that I could handle it, that I could keep operating at a high level, so it must be fine. I filled every inch of the page — zero margins, zero buffer, zero room for error. I was functioning, but I wasn’t supported, and eventually the “shoulds” started showing up as mistakes, fatigue, and burnout. Strength isn’t proving how much you can survive — it’s knowing when to create space before you collapse.
