TURN UP

The golden rule in making progress is consistency. Three short sessions a week trumps one long session in terms of helping the body to adapt and develop from week to week. If you are time-crunched, shorter sessions will also be much more manageable.

TOUGHEN UP

There will be days when you don’t feel like training. Use days like these to train your mind to be stronger by getting through the sessions. Come race day, when the going gets tough, your strengthened mindset will now be your secret weapon.

LOOSEN UP

Had a long day at work, or a stressful week? Turn your data off and do your session on feel. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in data that we actually let it hold us back. See what you can do without it – you might be surprised.
