The Jottings
Bounce Back Better
This Jotting comes to you from a hospital bed and from painful personal experience.
‘You’ll Never Be As Young As You Are Right Now’
So, whether you’re a Meat Loaf fan or Meat hater, his song title makes a fine point.
‘Come on, Let’s get on with it’
You’re warm, comfortable and feeling lazy; the thought of donning the kit and heading out is almost painful.
The Six Month Plan
Where will you be in six months time? Will you be better, stronger, happier? Two things are certain; that six months will go in the blink of an eye and you will be wiser, whether of your own making or just by experience.
Training Quality, not Quantity
I certainly have to plead guilty in trying to sneak out of shorter harder training exertions by replacing them with longer less intense sessions. Trading pain for time, on the face of it, seems like a fair trade but I’m afraid it’s an old conn trick and will leave you out of pocket.
Beating The Brain; Your First And Toughest Opponent
We all know when we’ve really pushed ourselves and when we’re taking it easy. The only way we improve and build on our success is to push ourselves, up to and over, our limits.
Corona Chaos
These are strange times and the spectre of Covid-19 has changed all the priorities, resetting them back towards what really matters in life.
Raring to Go
Whatever your goals, whether it’s a race win or conquering that coveted distance, training is essential to achieving it.
