Enough of the rest.....time to get back on the training wheel

I have been training at a reasonable level now for a number of years and as a result I understand you need both hard training sessions and REST.

I see all too often people going full on all the time and then they end up not improving like they want to or worse they get sick, injured or jaded (sometimes all 3). I have never been good at overtraining often only just doing enough to finish the race....

So despite the best intentions this week to start doing something I have ended up using an array of the oldest excuses in the book.

It is too wet to train

I'm too tired

I feel sleepy - need a sleep

It's too windy to ride my bike

Lack of motivation

So the rest is now over - I need to get back onto the plan, back on the program. Stop eating like a teenager who has been left alone with the fridge, control my inner Labrador.

 

It was really important for me to have this rest after Busselton and the reason for that is best explained by this great quote I found from Oprah

 



Time to get my plan in order and refocus on the goal.
