Summary
How do you have fun in your training and life? Do you have enough or is there a low-level tension around at all times? This is a great time of year to detach from pressure and teach yourself how to do things in a way that let’s you be free . . . and get better. Being faster is often about letting go and enjoying the ability of your body to adapt and flow. We have to test these limits. We don’t fail, we learn. Are you doing the same things over and over and wondering why you’re not improving? We look at creating patterns, how setbacks can propel you, and how to go out and live a little. There’s nothing worse than an endless cycle of forcing yourself to do things you don’t enjoy. Find the sweet spots this off season. Make a plan you know you’re going to stick to and re-energize your soul.
