This time we will be talking about obsessions and obsessive personalities which are a common thread in Athletes. 
Have a long term dream instead of a short term goal.
Find something you want to achieve that will keep you in the sport for a long time and do not take shortcuts with training. Take a step by step approach and keep your life balanced.
Many Athletes I have met end up doing a three year cycle and never race again because their obsessive approach plus all the hours of training meant they sacrificed too much. They end up questioning why they did it and never do it again.
What is your sport dream? Mine is to become a World Champion one day… in fact, I am off to the World Championships in Canada this Sunday. Time to live the dream!
Please do 5 to 10 min easy jog warm up and warm down & keep running every second day only.
If you want to do extra activities in the middle of those two days, pick something like yoga, Pilates, aqua jogging, swimming, walking or riding…
