11/2/14
Well winter has arrived, based on the temperature, clocks
turned back and the short day light days.
Myself, I try not to get into a funk and not go out and train in the
elements both endurance and strength. Suck it up and move on.
To motivate one’s self you have to program your brain in Spartan
mode, that you will not be detour you work.
Do what is necessary to dress and find new ways to accomplish your
outside training, as not to lose the momentum of your sunny day, fitness
levels.
This also goes for inside the gym workouts, as I see an
obvious decline in smiling faces as the year comes to an end. This does not
mean that you can’t do some tapering of effort; as you can’t push year round
when you should be cycle your program for the next stage.
Today I went out and did a bike ride for an hour in area
where I could bail out if I got too cold and my equipment selection was not
right for the conditions. It was not comfortable riding in 30-40 deg. Temperatures
and windy, but it was not bad as soon as I was out for awhile. However, body
temperature does drop so I will not have to limit the time on the roads and
make it up with some quality time on the turbo or C2 rower. It’s all good!
As for my indoor training I will spend more time perfecting
techniques that I suck at. Boy, that’s going to be fun!
