it's important to keep in mind that we're always training more than muscles.

So if you think of that workout, like maybe you're going to go do an aerobic capacity thing for two

hours, like that physiological adaptation is going to stick around for three weeks maybe and it's going to fade.

It's going to go away.

In any workout in isolation physiologically doesn't matter that much.

It's the overall trend your pattern that matters, but you're also at the same time training that skill of

perseverance, of doing a hard thing when the right thing is hard, of when the weather is

super shitty, when you could have any opportunity to make an excuse and quit and feel okay about it

You're developing the ability to push through and do the hard thing anyway and that that mental pattern of what you do in a difficult moment what

choices you make is going to stick around a lot longer than that isolated

physiological adaptation

and it's a lot more important in the long run.

Because if you have someone who's got great physiology,

but they give up as soon as it's hard or it's raining

or their feet hurt or whatever, like they're screwed.

They're not going to make it anywhere.
