Working just hard enough

Training is all about preparing your self for race day. Physically and mentally. Step by step. Progress is measured in small increments, and only when you look back after a lengthy period of time can you see significant progress.

So how can you ensure you do not sabotage your training efforts? Work just hard enough during everyone of your training sessions. It is a combination of working hard and working smart.

Most of us, myself included, go out with great intentions each session, but we never execute on these intention because we sucked in by ourselves, or members of our training groups to push harder than we need to. So we are effectively working too hard when we should be taking it easy, and not working hard enough when we should be pushing ourselves.

Know what your session goal is, and then go execute it. Don't sabotage your training, and your progress....work just hard enough.

Until next time, keep tri'n.
