Training - Reo

Training should be fun and positive it should add something to your day not take away from it. You want to be outside in nature, using your talents feeling alive. Every time you go out the door you should want to, loving it, being excited and just go. No worries about injuries, fatigue, how much training, schedule. All the data should just be left to things that need data-like work. Like those natural people who just run in the woods, or next to the ocean on the beach.  Then just dive into that blue water and swim to that secluded spot where you would catch up on your tan. Its about going where you want to. When you are out on the bike and you can just pick a spot and go. No matter what you find you can negotiate, whether it is rocks or mud or steep or downhill. You can fly when you want to, coast when you want to. Admire the sunshine, let it all in. Draw inspiration from it. So you come back better than you left. And then when someone says let’s go do this race or trail or swim- you can. You can keep up, breathing easy. You can talk about the experience or race for the gun, you have the choice. You don’t have to worry about whether you can make it or what you did yesterday. You still push the boundaries, you still cross the finish line, tyres screeching, dust cloud-engulfed, covered in mud, picking twigs out of your bike, dripping with sweat shouting ‘o yeah!’. When you run you sprint to that tree or mountaintop like a kid, lungs bursting, laughing and jumping over rocks, roots and through rivers, splashing water like a gazelle-light on your feet.

Action!
