Episode Description
In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast I am talking about pace, pressure, and why I am done with the all or nothing version of health and fitness. I walk you through how I am structuring the rest of this year and heading into twenty twenty six so you can build consistency without burning yourself out.
I have decided that I am not publishing new stuff on Saturdays and Sundays. I am modeling what I tell you to do, which is protect your energy, slow down, and stop letting content or fitness take over your entire life. You can still work toward goals. You can still show up. But you do not have to grind every second to prove that you care.
I get into how I am organizing the year in phases. Each phase has its own purpose. First you ramp up. You build momentum. You build belief. You start moving at a calm, deliberate pace. You are not sprinting. You are getting your bearings and building confidence. People will look at what you are doing and think you are going all out, but in your head you are steady, clear, and not in a tug of war.
Then you dial it in. Not zero to sixty. More like forty five to sixty. You hold that calm headspace but you tighten your focus and stack habits. You build consistency as an actual skill. You choose to trust yourself. You build momentum that feels sustainable, not chaotic. After that, you scale back a bit. You settle back into something closer to that early ramp up pace. You are still doing the work, but you are not redlining. Then you wind down. I am huge on using the end of the year as a real wind down phase, not just a long weekend. We are going to start talking about that November first. The wind down is built in on purpose so you stop repeating the cycle of go hard, burn out, disappear, restart, repeat.
This is a system to replace the fitness message you have been handed your whole life. The message that says push harder, push harder, push harder, and if you cannot keep up it is your fault. I am saying no to that. You do not have to live at all gas no brakes. Most people who run that way end up off to the side anyway, trying to recover, then jumping right back into the same pattern. I want you on a steady path instead of stuck in that loop.
I also share what this looks like in my own training right now. I have dealt with foot issues and a walking boot since last year. I am still doing the work. I tell you how many workouts I logged month by month even while limited, because this is important. Consistency is not about perfect workouts in perfect conditions. Consistency is doing what you can with the body you have today. Stretching counts. Rehab counts. Short sessions count. Forty one workouts in June. Eighty six in July including rehab. Sixty four in August. Fifty four in September, including when I was still in the boot. Fifty nine in October. That is not hype. That is systems, pacing, and refusing to quit on myself.
