Training Load
How much intensity you are putting on your body right now. Too much without recovery leads to breakdown. Too little and you stall.
Alex Cooper and Learning Dating Doesn't Have to Be Isolated
Training Load shows how Alex Cooper was putting intense pressure on her dating life through the formal, high-stakes approach of isolated first dates. She was conducting job interview-style dates at noisy bars, asking checklist questions, which created maximum intensity with minimal recovery time between attempts. Alex shifted from this high-pressure dating load to a lower, more sustainable approach by integrating dating into her existing social activities where she already felt confident and grounded.
