The temperatures are up and most people complain about their workouts, their intensity levels not being able to be reached and they go totally off any kind of running efforts.
If you have read this for a while, you know I never recommend long, long boring running efforts anyway, which are the last thing you probably want to do in this heat (24 degrees and upwards).
I have concentrated on mostly cycling today because it is a much cooler activity, because you have a good breeze usually, and especially when you are close to the sea of course.
The benefits are huge and the main attractive benefit you have of cycling in weather like this is the scenery, especially on days like these which are supposed to last at least until Monday.
There are a million ways to get fit so before you get too many excuses out, think long and hard before you cancel your training efforts for the weakest of reasons!!!
In fact, the training sessions you DON’T feel like are ALWAYS the most valuable. This applies to hot and freezing cold weather.
If you want to end up like most of the population, then stay on the settee and eat whatever you want, no matter how much harm it does you over the long term.
The chances are that if you are reading this, you DON’T want to end up like most of the population! You DO want to be fit and healthy and you should be willing to employ every strategy under the sun to make it happen.
For instance, if you think its too hot to train the weekend, get up early and hit the bike before 7am on Saturday morning, believe me there is no better feeling!!!
If you think im crazy suggesting that, perhaps you have to raise your commitment levels and attitude.
The reason I suggest 7am is because it’s the coolest time of day in predicted very warm temperatures, plus you have the rest of the day to do all the other things you wanted to do.
There is a way around everything and anything, and all you have to do is open up your mind to it. Lets cut out any narrow mindedness and lets get your training in to make big things happen in your health and life in general!!!
