Nine days off the longest day of the year already, and to most people, we haven’t had much of a summer!
The cooler weather conditions can have their benefits though.
How many times have you NOT trained this time of year due it being too hot?
How many times have you not trained due to things being organised last minute just because the weather was too nice to train in, and “more important” things like barbecues etc took precedent!
The cooler weather conditions are my ideal training conditions, my heart rate takes longer to get up to higher levels (which is a good thing), i am never in danger of over-heating from it being too hot, therefore my performance is likely to be high, and its quite pleasant when you are exercising and there is a lovely breeze around the place!
The wetter weather like we have been having is far less pleasant, but sometimes theres nothing better than running in the wetter conditions to cool us down. The wetter weather also gives more opportunity for gym workouts, sometimes being the much more pleasant and productive option for many of us. Home workouts again will work big time for you, use the weather to work FOR you instead of against you!!!
If you realise that in the UK, its likely to be wet or cool at least nine months of the year, then everything will be in a proper context and you will be more content with your training conditions!
Personally, i have had a great week of training already, helping people set new highs in their training, i have experienced far less excuses from everyone and everything is being very productive indeed!
Its a tuesday and im already feeling hugely energised so use it to your advantage too!!!!
