“Running downhill”
“The basket seemed twice as big.”
Momentum is a powerful force. Athletes testify to it, commentators describe the athletes or teams that have it, and when you see momentum you know something great is about to happen.
Your job the next couple weeks is to establish your routine, be consistent with your new workout plan start building momentum. Right now it might feel like a chore to start the next workout. It might take more time, energy; distractions have a funny way of doing their thing to your new plan. We need to fight through that and build momentum. We need to start running downhill.
Beginner and advanced athletes both need to use the FITT Principle in their training. Today we discuss how Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type should be considered as we design workouts to help us reach our SMART goal.
No matter what your SMART goal is, today’s workout is for you! Four rounds of a 400m run and the Faithful Four. And remember, scaling is cool!
Spoiler: this isn’t just about the first day, but having things in place for the first day and then being able to repeat for the week - this is a program!
We need to be honest with ourselves: where are we at, what time can we give this new program, and what is our goal?
In this first season we will be talking about the fitness game plan: training concepts and workouts that will get a new athlete started in fitness and an experienced athlete some new things to optimize health and performance.
