    RH Episode #44- The Window of Tolerance

    What is talent? Talent is a measure of what you can learn to tolerate.  In this one I talk about your window of tolerance. What that means. How and why. When and where you need to develop it. Tolerance trumps talent, because talent doesn't leave the station without it. All the forms of pain and suffering that we experience; physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual are teased out here.  The bundle of discomfort that many of us unconsciously take into the field of dreams in each race also carries the potential to turn it into a nightmare.  Thats the responsibility of your choice to stay open to what's happening.  The power of your intension and attention converge into a matrix of power if you bring non-resistance and your willingness with you. If you aren't willing, you aren't able.  Support the show Grants Website

    RH Episode #43- Let Shit Go

    In sport, it comes and it goes. When we hang onto pain it comes and stays, instead of coming and going... We choose suffering in our mental resistance when we can't let go of what we don't want to feel. The sticky tentacles of our mind is constantly in judgment, analysing and assessing if this moment is too much. But that disconnect with your body is an energetic block. Energy can't flow freely. It gets trapped by a mind that is thinking it, instead of feeling it.  The pain is inevitable, the suffering is optional.... The Practise: Let shit go! Learn how do die to each moment.  Paradoxically, surrender is your route to success. If you can give up the last moment, you can take on the next. Don't be a slave to what was, become a warrior of what is... Every moment is utterly available to the power you bring to it. As soon as you engage with resistance though, you slam the car unconsciously into reverse. To stay in drive, you have to respond and not react.  This podcast is all about how. Enjoy and get back to me with your thoughts. Gilesy. Support the show Grants Website

    RH Episode #42- Bring The Pain Home

    This podcast is devoted to our companion pain. There is an exhaustive list of the ways we have been taught to disassociate from pain. We are experts at resisting what we don't want to feel. Problem with that is, because we are resisting pain, we resist allowing our experience when we are involved in something that is creating pain.  If you are resisting pain in your training, you are resisting chunks of your training.  As a consequence, you will find yourself resisting large chunks of your racing. Its a conundrum that most athletes don't want to look at.  So I'm here to draw you attention to it because it is also a huge area for opportunity, growth and expansion as an athlete and as a human.  If you can learn to bring your pain home, your inner fracture during training and races will cease.  This one is about meeting your pain and discomfort. Learning how to stay present and attentive to your process while you are experiencing pain.  Learning how to allow your pain its place. Allowing it to empower you rather than having it siphon all your energy into victimhood.  Dive in. Gilesy. Support the show Grants Website

    RH Episode #41- The Cheat Code

    Ive been punching away at blogs for many years. In many ways that writing has become my own teacher.  Raw curiosity has dragged me headlong into a personal investigation of my own state, and the writing it spawned has held a mirror up to the world of performance.  The curiosity brings the questions, how do we live our best life? How do we bring ourselves to the zenith of performance?  The answer is we don't! We bring the performance to us.  The simple answer I have learned and experienced is that we need to bring more of ourselves, and as such we unweight ourselves of a mental burden. We are not adding to the burden of performance we are subtracting from it by simplifying it. To learn how to accept the more uncomfortable aspects in the world of performance we must learn how to accept our own experience and let it teach us. Thats all about coming back to your own essential power, which in essence is the refusal to move a millimetre away from yourself. How are you going to do that? I've written a cheat code on it.  This podcast is a very short summary of the key aspects.  Whether you plan to explore the cheat code with me in the coming months or simply listen to this podcast, there is plenty here you can use in your own journey of self exploration and peak performance. At this stage I am thinking I will present an interactive webinar series over 6 sessions. Details on the cheat code will be coming up soon.  If you feel like reaching out with questions, you can DM me here- grant@aeromaxteam.com  Cheers,' Gilesy. Support the show Grants Website

    RH Episode #40- Pattern Interrupt

    We  are full of patterns.  Habitual, unconscious ways of being in the world built mostly around safety.  Programmed patterns are running all the time in our training, many of them separating us from our own internal power. The past drags us around by our bootlaces unless we are very consci to it All the metal, subconscious scripts that we run under pressure play at the forefront of our minds eye drowning out the potential in us.  If you are going to interrupt any physical or mental pattern, there is one immutable rule to do doing so,  that is to make damn sure you are consistent. Ritual and habitual intensions are crucial to making real change.  This one is not for the faint hearted, It pulls no punches, sometimes thats what it takes to wake us up into a pattern interrupt.  Make change or stay the same, thats the choice. If you want something different, you have to be prepared to do something different.  Otherwise Its a case of monkey see, monkey do. Nothing new comes unless we observe ourselves closely and take responsibility for that. What you can expect to cover in this one: Pattern InteruptsHabit SettingRitual IntensionsThe Animal Body that you arePrimal DriversGrounding Internal PowerPressureUsing your own energy as the driverNurturing Performance Inviting SuccessProbably a lot more too in this brain dump.  Hope you enjoy, Gilesy.

    RH Episode #39- Fracture

    Sport and indeed life, demand our attention, our presence and our focus.  That focus is about retaining our personal integrity. It is to not speak against ourselves, or descend into self blame, self judgment or the self defeatist talk which can often lead to a fracture in an athletes focus.  It's about remaining self possessed and free from the internal agitation that deregulates our nervous systems and send us into a stress response when we need the full force of our own power.  Listen to this one if you want to learn how to become adaptive rather than reactive. This ones about being poised, self collected, self contained, self possessed and composed.  You are the root of your own power. Gilesy Support the show Grants Website

    RH Episode #38- The Embodied Athlete

    Don’t define yourself as an athlete, embody it! What does that mean? It means bringing it home.  The measurement of the process is useless without the awareness it takes to integrate it.  The integration is about the intelligence and the self awareness that you apply to the suck and the embodiment of the physical unfolding that is taking place right here and now.  This is how physical consistency, adaption and development work. Cognition and consciousness are not just functions of the brain but are also influenced by the body and its interaction with the environment.  The physical and mental process is utterly interconnected.  This forms the whole approach of my own coaching and mental skills jam man. You are: head, heart, body, mind and soul. Not less than that.   This one is about bringing the whole athletic journey home to yourself where it belongs and is at its most potent.  Gilesy.  Support the show Grants Website

    RH Episode #37- Mark Jansen Triathlon Strongman

    This week we had a chat with Mark Jansen about the challenges an athlete faces being an elite level age group triathlete and cyclist while working full-time in the corporate world.  Mark is a super strong willed athlete, racing successfully in 70.3 and Ironman. A twice top 5 finisher in Hawaii and a multiple sub-9 hour Ironman, he is well positioned to speak about the balance of work, life and sport.  We talk about the gift and the curse of the type A personality and the management it takes to keep that requirement in homeostasis.  We are talking about confidence, loads, recovery, the benefits of an active lifestyle and the foil of high-level sport and a corporate career.  We chat about what it means to go deep in racing terms and the physical and psychological nuances of racing and training that make them what they are.  Mark is a highly articulate human and that makes this chat great listening.  Enjoy,  Gilesy  Support the show Grants Website
