What is Your Priority?
A Path to Success
%2520(1).jpeg)
List your top 3 priorities in order now. Is what you have listed aligned with how you think and act? Do the priorities you state change depending on who you are talking to? Think about it. It's an interesting one.
The InnerFight coaching team was asked this question a few months ago when we had a speaker in for the afternoon. It was interesting to think about our top 3 priorities, compare them with each other, and see how they varied from what we thought instead of what we said in the group setting. Some stated their top priority as work, others family, and others training. No one's answers were right or wrong, but they were different and have likely shifted during various stages of our lives.
Your top priority is your top priority. But you need to know it like really understand it and be accountable to it. Not change it based on what you think others want to hear. For example, suppose you sit down with your coach and tell them your top priority is your training, but work a 70 hour week or have five children who probably depend on you. In that case, you are just saying your priority is training to impress your coach, or even kid yourself into thinking you can give more than you can to your sport.
There is zero shame in telling your coach that you have other priorities outside of training. It’s normal to be pulled in several directions and have multiple commitments. But you’re likely setting yourself up for failure if you are not true to your commitments and availability.
Priorities shift and change throughout our lives and often even throughout the year. You might be focussing on a specific race followed by some downtime, or you might be working on a vast career-changing opportunity at work. I recommend that you stay present and authentic to your three priorities, think about them often, align your time accordingly, and remain true to your coach about what matters the most.
If you and your coach are on the same page from day 1, wonderful things can happen.

ENGINE
We are going to mix things up a bit this week, varying modalities, time frames and distances designed to push your aerobic capacity.
GYMNASTICS
To kick things off, we will spend some time on Pull-ups and chest-to-bar pull-ups before we move off the rig and onto the floor as we look to break down and develop the Handstand Walk.
HYROX
Working on compromised running this week. Running consistently strong when there is nothing left in your legs is a key skill in Hyrox.
MOBILITY
Improving your overhead mobility will show you how to improve not only flexibility but also stability using a few key exercises that you can do in your own time.
PURE STRENGTH
In Pure Strength this week, we will kick the week off with a mixture of paused and unpaused back squats, followed by some heavy single-leg work. Wednesday sees us continue our progression on the strict press and the stationary dips.
WEIGHTLIFTING
This week in weightlifting we focus on the power snatch and hang power snatch with a series of complexes followed by some EMOM percentage work

The ‘in’ word within endurance is fatigue resistance; and today we look to benchmark it. With 2 maximum efforts at the start and end of the set with a steadier middle section, we’ll be able to track your drop-off. A great set for anyone wanting to get better this winter!
Start time: 05:59 am
