…and as i plan to do.
Returning to work after a trip (or a holiday) I generally feel invigorated and highly motivated. Do you feel like this?
The Hawaii ironman marks the end of the season for those lucky enough to compete and for me it’s the same. There’s no point in starting a new training programme before I go to work in Kona because it’s too hectic and the travelling and time zone changes increasde the risk of getting ill (which as you’ll see in the video is not a good thing). Generally this means that I plan to get started soon after I get back to the UK (Leaving a few days to get over the jetlag)
When planning any training programmme I follow a set of 6 principles aiming to keep things as simple as possible.
It really isn’t difficult to improve as long as you have a system. Please take a look at the video below and then think about whether your training programme meets these 6 principles. If it does then thats great because it means your are on the right track. All you need now is discipline, resilience and patience.
If on the other hand you can’t tick 6 boxes then go back to the drawing board and work out what changes you need to make to your programme. Then add discipline, resilience and patience and you’ll soon be on the road to improvement.
