and then decided on taking a mini-break from training to reward myself for completing my first half-ironman. That mini-break turned into a 6-week of basically no training and crappy eating. I have found that after such a long break, my drive to workout has been somewhat impacted by my laziness. I needed some motivation and decided to purchase this:
Thus far, it seems to be working... I have completed one four-mile run. But in all seriousness, it is really has given me some insights into how to properly train and phasing of my workouts. The section that really fueled my need to get moving was a section titled "Reversibility". It explained how quickly physical fitness attributes can fade with inactivity. My years of competitive swimming should have taught me this, but I suppose I was too young to really take note. Nonetheless, I am truly excited to get back into the swing of things with working out. It really makes me feel better and gives me more energy... like I need to be more energetic.
