No amount of "mental toughness" will make up for a lack of physical preparation.

You don't need to add fitness every single day.
You just need more days, weeks, months of fitness gain than fitness loss over the long term.
Take recovery when you need it.
Play the long game.

There are 4 key workouts that ALL humans should do regularly, regardless of sport or ability level:
Long - challenge the metabolism
Strong - challenge the muscles
Fast - challenge the nervous system
Recovery - challenge the ego.

There is no universal "best program".
Monitor each individual athlete and *their* best program will appear.

You have limited energy to spend
And many training options.
Be critical with those choices,
Tests assumptions and regularly recalibrate.

What a beautiful lesson in athlete/child/human development from legendary coach, @frankdickcoach
‘You don’t learn to climb mountains by running round them or asking someone for a ladder, You learn to climb mountains by climbing mountains.’
Wonderful perspective on success, winning and developing from @frankdickcoach
The last two years of events has given @Gladwell enough to write about for the rest of his life
I'm pretty excited to watch the next couple stages of the Tour de France. It's going to be interesting

I’m just one human being, but I believe each one of us has a responsibility to contribute to a happier humanity.

Space Aliens may be surprised to learn that Humans have multiple languages & cultures and we kill one another because of it.
