Uncover your inner athlete!

Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten.. Each morning in Africa a lion awakes - it knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve.


No matter if you are the lion or the gazelle, when the sun comes up you had better be running!

Knowing when to call time

This morning I woke and was intending to go out for a 15KM run and when I got 10KM in, I just realised that I was not enjoying things that much and for as much as I wanted to go on and complete the other 5KM, there really was no point. I did exactly as prescribed by Fordyce and closed the training diary for the day and went to do other things.

Experience has taught me that sometimes forcing oneself is not the right option. When you get to that point it is time to just close the diary and then go and mow the lawn or some such other task.

Tomorrow you will then be able to attack the course again with renewed vigour.

    Love your blog updates, mate. Don't worry about that extra 5kilometers! Keep training, find some more motivation and you'll be back on the road doing more than ever before! Good luck.
