According to Webster’s Dictionary, the definition of “tired” is drained of strength and energy; fatigued often to the point of exhaustion; obviously worn by hard use; run down. But what are the sources of becoming “tired?”
If you have followed Coach Robb for any period of time, you know the three words he believes should be removed from everyone’s vocabulary – could, would and should. We all have regrets on past decisions and actions that affect our health but usually it is due to not being educated on the principles of physiology and nutrition.
There is a significant difference between fast and “healthy fast.” How many times have you seen someone on the race course who is fast, but when you speak to them or get to know them, you notice that they have dark circles under their eyes, their hair is brittle, their skin looks like a leatherback turtle, and find out that they have all the symptoms of adrenal fatigue (night sweats, low sex drive, inability to sleep and/or craving simple sugars).
Over the last 36 years, Coach Robb has talked with hundreds of athletes who struggle with fatigue – both mentally and physically. In Performance Podcast #2, Coach Robb talks in depth about how fatigue can manifest itself in the way of a virus, then overload the adrenal system, and eventually result in a condition commonly referred to as adrenal fatigue.
Contrary to what the so-called “internet experts” and “social media influencers” like to preach, promote, and sell you, there is no amount of exercise you can do that is going to make you leaner and stronger until you are getting adequate amounts of high-quality sleep – Plain and Simple as That!
Welcome to the first episode of the Coach Robb Performance Podcast – Fit and Fast at 40 and Beyond! This podcast is for anyone who strives to strike a balance between a family, working, training, riding, and racing. In this initial episode, we sit down with CRS Factory Team Member James Jetmar, a busy pilot, family man, and vet racer to discuss common frustrations for riders and racers over the age of 40.
When it comes to dropping body fat, there is a big game of deception within the weight loss industry. Have you noticed that nobody can maintain a “diet” of minimal calories and when they decide they have had enough of being irritable, are not able to sleep, and have constant headaches they actually gain more weight than they lost?
In Coach Robb’s opinion, there are far too many “trainers” making suggestions relative to nutrition and hydration that are undermining an athlete’s health. They are also pushing athletes far too hard, at too high of an intensity, and for too long, which is resulting in blood borne diseases such as Epstein Barr, Chronic Fatigue, and Addison’s Disease. In this episode, Coach Robb and David discuss specific steps to keep this from ever happening.
As a population it has been ingrained into our brains that more is always better. When it comes to health and performance, this is absolutely not true.
