Merry Monday! Let’s do this! We all could use a bit of motivation to get rolling on Monday. On Mondays, I like to share a Mantra or short inspirational message. If the message resonates with you, use to motivate yourself in training or life. Do you have your own awesome Mantra? Please share it below in the comments.
The workouts that seem hard now, will soon be easy, if you keep training. Maybe you can’t run a mile without stopping, or swim a 100M without be winded. Don’t give up, keep training, and soon your will be amazed by your progress.
I’m currently training for my fifth marathon. When I look back to the training for my first, it’s a night and day difference. My first 18 mile run ended in disaster. I had never run that far, and at mile 14 both of my calves seized, and my wife had to come pick me up. That was a hard day for me. In my current training plan I have three 20 milers. I can complete them with little struggle. I still bring my phone, in case of disaster.
What workouts used to be difficult for you, that you can now complete with ease?

I can swim now, for quite a while, and I used to be able to do 25 m and then feel like I was going to die. Crazy how our body adapts! Sorry if you told me before, but what marathon?

A great reminder 🙂
When I started running I could just about huff and puff around a slow 5k and was in awe of people who could run 10k. I didn’t think it was possible for me. Now, a few years later, I’m training for my 7th marathon and feeling stronger all the time. I’m also learning to swim so hopefully I’ll have a similar experience and it will be much easier soon.
