winners think about winning

*TEXT COACH YOUR MILEAGE FOR LAST WEEK
*TEXT WORKOUT TIMES TO COACH FOR ANY MEASURABLE WORKOUTS

"Winners think about winning, losers think about winners."
                           - Conor McGregor, UFC Featherweight Champion

What's on your mind when you step to the starting line, or begin the first rep of a workout, or lace up the shoes for a long run?  That's the challenge...to have the right mindset.  Think about winning, don't think about anyone else.  Win the race, win the workout, win the run, win everyday!  Make it a habit, the results will follow.

And Merry Christmas to all!

Let's use this week as a bit of a recovery from exams.  Try to catch up on sleep and don't make too much of Tuesday's workout - aerobic speed fartlek.  Just go for a run to get your mileage in and once warmed up, every three or four minutes put in a fast thirty seconds.  Later in the week, see how you're feeling and decide on either the fartlek or the workout for Friday.  If you're not sure about anything, text your coaches!  Lastly, make sure you complete the full day's training...that includes warm-up, strides, strength work, recovery, etc...
