That’s right…you get stronger, you push harder, so it never feels ‘easier’. But if you take just a little moment to reflect, I bet you’ll soon realize that your effort level has increased, your pace has improved, you’re hanging in there a little longer, you’re travelling further and the recovery time between sets/reps/sessions has improved. This week is the perfect time to take that moment to see just how far you’ve come. Acknowledge these little steps, as the key to success is realizing that our big goals don’t just happen overnight. It is the progressive accumulation of small steps taken consistently over time. Hey….well done, you! It might be hard to see right now, but it’ll be worth it!
And we saw a lot of this over the weekend, with our athletes aiming high and achieving PBs galore across the Run Melbourne Festival. Our speedster of the day, Sebastian smashed out a 1:26, the 3 amigos (Eddy, Raf and Raph) all ran within themselves under strict instructions from the coach to use this a stepping stone to bigger things, and Tim & Kate looked great on their way to sub 2hr halfs. Denise and Jen knocked our their first half together with smiles for miles the entire way, the duo of Janna & Carly worked as a team, with Liza, Michelle and Megan rounding out the #GirlGang. We also had Eliza, Nathan, Naomi, Jack and Rob in the 10kms, Narelle, Jo and Amy in the 5kms and we're sure there were plenty more out on course for a sneaky race. Huge thanks to Mario, Bondy Sr and Jr, Steph, Dil, Paddy, Donna, Andrea, Gaz, Kristina and Michelle (plus mum) for all their supporting duties. It makes a world of difference to our athletes and we know they really appreciate it!
So, I guess it’s a little hard to miss all the action coming out of our Thailand Training Camp. If your social feed is anything like mine, I’m starting to feel a little spammed by it all (thanks guys, not helping my FOMO over here in sunny ol’ Melbourne town!). These guys and gals are absolutely lapping up all that Thanyapura has to offer and will be reaping the benefits of their heat, humidity, hills and consistent pro-life training schedule in no time.
Good news, programs for the next block are all loaded and available, so it’s a good idea to know what you should be doing and when. If you have been unable to view the details of a session, let me insert my advice from last week right here:
NB: If you are having trouble seeing the details of your sessions in CM, you will need to clear your cache as we had a software update and your program may need a little reboot!Jimmy's article reflecting on his JC Award was just THAT good, it's worth sharing it again this week. There's also a reminder to get booked in for Queenscliff camp before the early bird finishes, some housekeeping reminders for this week as well as the all important weekend session details. |
