What they don't tell you when you sign up for your first Ultra Marathon. You NEED to know this stuff!
How you can do just about anything to SUCCEED in life
Only a few days before our #IRONMANCAIRNS event kicks off.
If you've ever been curious to know the day in the life of a tri-athlete in training, then it could look a little like:
4am - Get up & ride for a few hours before work
6am - Breakfast, say hello to the family, get ready for work
7.30am - 5pm - Work the day job
--- lunch hour ----- Few laps of the pool as a recovery swim
5pm - Go for a 20km run
7pm - Home and ready to settle down for the evening
9pm - Bed!
This is just ONE day BUT what you see on competition day is MONTHS of training, dedication and commitment.
You can make all the excuses in the world as to why you couldn't do this but if you wanted to, you could.
YES, even YOU.
Can't swim? Get lessons
Can't run? Get a coach or join a running club
Can't ride a bike? Jump on one and practise
There is no secret to achievement or success, it is simply work at it, work at it, work at it (I'm not just talking about IronMan either). You need to set your sights on your goal, get off your butt and take those baby steps, each day, that will help you get to your final destination (goal).
So the next time you admire your friend who can "run easily" or you feel envious when your mate rocks up in a flash car, remember, you are only seeing the end results of an accumulation of EFFORT.
Your success depends on YOU committing, being consistent and believing you CAN DO IT.
What would YOU like to achieve?
