Free Fall Week 1 | Yoga Nidra, Breathwork, and Cooldowns

Coming off of a rest (de-load) week, I came out hot, maybe a little too much so and already noticed a regression to the mean. The Free Fall program has started, with the intention of addressing individual training needs via creative and autonomous means.

Summary:

I came out hard and hot this week, which was a good reminder to not fall into the habit of regressing towards the mean — or “going medium and getting nowhere.”

I’ve started doing Yoga Nidra sessions on my lunch break while I get some sun on my skin and dirt on my feet. Spring is officially here, tomorrow! I usually add a short breath session here as well and have been reminding myself to cooldown (literally) with breath work after training and with a cool (not cold!) shower. Here’s the breathwork app I’ve been using.

In other news I’ve upgraded my smartwatch to a Garmin Vivoactive 3 which is nice to get back some sleep and heart rate data — particularly when planning and assessing my own programming.
