Happy FriYAY Team!

This time of the year I find many athletes really struggle with effort V data. Not only are they getting back into routine after some time off over Christmas, but the heat & humidity plays havoc in so many ways. 

We can all hold awesome consistency and a good mental approach if we keep things in check. I see it time & time again when athletes train harder and harder because they are not hitting their numbers as they do in the winter months. Over time they keep training until they have dug themselves in such a hole it is almost impossible to get out, both mentally & physically. 

With race season around the corner for so many of us, this is NOT the time to be exceeding your targets!

Everything is in balance, so if you arent hitting your numbers, its not the end of the world!

Learn to listen to yourself, learn to trust yourself, don't rely so heavily on data, there is plenty of other methods of measuring effort, sometimes you just need to ditch the data and go by feel. This way we can all continue to govern the way forward and achieve what we set out to do. 

YOU are stronger than YOU think,

Alli
