Miles of Gratitude

08/27/2021

I saw this thia morning and I really wish more runners understood. Training isn't about going as fast as you can every time. It's not about racking up the miles either. It's committing to a workout that's best for where you are right now. I like to use the imagery of blowing a bubble. If you go too hard too fast, the bubble pops. Go at a slower, steady pace and you can blow a much bigger bubble. Hard runs definitely have their place, just not every run. Embrace the 80/20 rule and you'll grow as a runner without the injuries, burnout and fatigue.

I recently came across a "75 Hard" Challenge. I love the idea, but it struck me as something that not everyone can accomplish. Two 45 minute workouts, for some, is ridiculous to even think about. 45 minutes a day? Maybe. Setting these "goals" for someone with a full time job, a family and basic life to deal with is just asking for disappointment, which results in the failure mindset. "I'm not going to start this because there's no way I'll be able to finish."

I'm proposing, not a challenge, but a RESET. Smaller, more manageable goals and mindset shifts that fit into your lifestyle. Who knows? You may surprise yourself. Here's my proposal compared to the original. Need to modify it? GO FOR IT. Life is about modifications. I'm me and you're you. Be the best version of you possible.
