Summary

We all want to see progress, but what about progress within the mastery of where you are? But there’s more to improvement than simply going faster. What about the workout that becomes “easy” to you? It’s not as glamorous, but that is real progress. Once we master where we are, we’re much better suited to climb up the next rung of the ladder. We look at appropriately challenging workouts, recovery days, moving workouts in your schedule, and how things all stack together to make you stronger and faster in the long run.

Topics:

Past - Present - Future
Go big or go home???
Mental and Emotional Stress vs. Physical Stress
When workouts turn into mental stress
How training compares to cooking
It’s a Day To Day thing
Why boring workouts are exciting
Keeping your tank topped off
Chores, responsibilities, have-to’s
Workouts in daily life, moving, yard work, etc.
When should or shouldn’t you MOVE WORKOUTS
Consistency IS Momentum
The perils of rigid training
Why you should get outside more
True recognition of recovery weeks
Turning One Rest Day into Two
Same workouts week after week
Why a 3 week build is really only two weeks
The right time of the day to workout
When expectations get too high
Is Mike turning into a gadget guy???
