About this episode
In this episode, Taylor Kruse discusses the various forms of tracking in fitness and neurology with guest Tony Fowler, exploring their pros and cons and their impact on training and lifestyle.
What if tracking is hurting your progress? In this episode, I speak with my podcast producer, Tony, about tracking in its many forms and how I think about it in the context of my own training and applied neurology practice. I discuss some more common tracking practices like steps, calories, macros, heart rate, weight/reps/sets, sleep etc. as well as some more neuro-specific practices like tracking pain, breathing, balance, and cerebellar testing. I discuss the pros and cons of these methods, identify the ones I use most personally and with my clients, and offer some insights into how to think about tracking not as a goal unto itself, but as a tool to inform your training and lifestyle habits or to educate yourself as an athlete or coach. I also discuss the relationship between interoception and chronic pain, and how focusing inward is a powerful tool that can sometimes be counterproductive. This is a free-ranging conversation around the many forms of tracking with many powerful training and applied neurology insights sprinkled throughout. Thank you to my podcast idea man and coach, Tony Fowler…
