As a thanks you to you on Thanksgiving week, we're answering a handful of listener questions.


1. How can I navigate periods of intense work where my life is out of balance without developing bad habits?


2. If I truly internalize that achievement won’t make me happy, won’t I lose my drive?


3. How can I manage the tedium of doing a job that’s meaningful but involves a lot of boring day-to-day work?


4. How can I distinguish between normal training fatigue and chronic exhaustion from overtraining?


5. After a race/performance, I often come back too quickly without being fully recovered, or wait too long and lose fitness. How should I think about timing my return to training? 


Thanks to everybody who has sent along a question — and thanks for being a part of the The Growth Equation and excellence, actually community. If you'd like us to answer something that has been on your mind, email [email protected] or call our voicemail at 646-893-9503.
