And I spent a good portion of my coach training learning about how we can better access flow. There are so many different conditions and barriers to flow that most elite athletes and coaches don’t know about. (I feel like there is an online course here in the future 🤓) 🩸 But the biggest condition affecting whether I personally will be in flow or not is the phase of my cycle. At the start of our trip to Datça I was in the follicular phase, and although I was less practiced on rock and less fit, I performed way better than I am now that I’m in my luteal phase. It’s annoying to have all those peak flow moments and then feel like you’re an uncoordinated sack of potatoes. I also have less energy, feel more achy and get a whole host of other symptoms that aren’t very pleasant or conducive to performance. It sometimes feels a bit Jeykyll and Hyde! And for those of you who don’t know, for me this counts for roughly 10 -14 days of a 26 day cycle (I have a short cycle). If you don’t have a cycle or don’t have such changes in performance between phases it probably seems weird and like a rough deal. But I like having a natural cycle to keep tabs on my health. Also the peak days I have in my follicular phase aren’t just ‘average’ days, I’m better than average on those days – I’m on fire. Although my partner Angus doesn’t have the crappy days, he also doesn’t get the crazy peaks in performance. I guess it’s important to respect and accept the body you’re working with and pay gratitude to the times when you feel good. I’ve also still managed to access flow and perform really well in my luteal phase, it’s just less likely for me. Are you less flowy in luteal? @bearcam 📸 🙏 @blackdiamond @lasportivagram」11月27日 0時57分
