Training and the Mind

Lots of new info has emerged in the recent years about the perception of effort, and our own concept of limits that often holds us back.

The mind it appears, has capacity for far more than we could ever imagine. Tapping into that power could have enormous potential.

Right now, though, I am not thinking of huge goals or PR's. I've had a super long day, and this is only day 2 of my usual but extraordinarily long work weeks, which are mentally, physically and emotionally exhausting.

Trying to visualize my goals, visualize successful completion, and tap into that hidden mental strength to get this workout done tonight: Brick, 70 minutes hard bike followed by 30 minute T-run...and this is my second workout of the day.

No wonder they call it Brick, feels like I might be hitting the bricks soon!

Channeling willpower, strength, goals..
