Interesting article again and conflicts with the practice of many coaches and athletes to chase quick wins. It’s probably not a popular or easy to sell statement but training and adaptation needs time.
I love the simplicity and common sense informed by practical application and experience. I occurs to me this extends beyond just training and to life and achievement in general.
Brilliant. Simple yet rich, profound and practical. A bucket of gold nuggets:
- Develop the capacity to absorb load.
- Optimise for sustainability and repeatability.
- Avoid equating sophistication with high performance.
- Master the fundamentals first.
- Appreciate that training stress and life stress draw from the same “recovery pool”.
- Execute well before executing more.
- Invest in performance through long term compounding vice wagering on short term quick profits.
- Shun the seduction of “high speed” innovation as a short cut hack. Rather…
- Cultivate the “low speed” virtues of patience, consistency and honesty.
Thank you.
