Most people have 2 speeds; fast or slow. What if I told you that everyone needs a third speed - a middle gear. Think more of a 4 out of 10 rather than 6 out of 10

Studies have shown that training at 65% of your maximum output allows you to go faster using little energy. Life is the same.

In your day to day - go shift into your 4 out of 10 gear. This will help you to stay fresh while seeing incremental and sustainable gains.

Then your ready for whatever challenges the world WILL bring!

What You Will Learn

• What speed is perfect? That middle gear baby!
• What is it? It's finding a middle gear to operate from endurance sports in life.
• Why is it important? You can sustain this pacing for long periods of time without low burnout.
• How can you implement it? Trial and error by finding out what is too slow, one end and what is too fast, the other end.
