Cool tip Amelia, I like it. Big thing is you’ve gotta listen to your body and not just make it as an I can’t be bothered day.

Awesome advice Mark,
I love the cassette story… makes me think of a scene out of foot Loose! I am also intrigued to know there is a sport called long distance speed skating… is that done on one really long frozen river? Don’t tell me you skate around in circles for hours… I’m dizzy thinking about it!

Hi Pkay,

I’m sure it’s refreshing for others to hear that even instructors get de-motivated! But what separates the winners is the self talk, such as the 5 minute rule, that gets them out the door!

A follow-up to what I just commented on: the less you think about doing your training when you don’t want to, the better. I developed a routine that when I came home from work I put on a cassette that had some of my favorite music on. I would change to w/out clothes, stretch and move around a bit and really kept my mind fairly blank, which was preferable to garbage self-talk that would rationalize away my workout. By the time my “motivating songs” played, I was fired up, and out the door I went. That routine was key for me.
