I love advice. That does not mean I always follow the advice to the letter or even understand it the way the giver means it. Instead I take a piece of advice and tumble it around in my brain like rocks in a rock tumbler until it comes out meaning something to me. This week I came across a piece of advice - everything is practice - and I played with it. I thought about it while running and cycling. I thought about it while falling asleep at night and I began to apply it to my life and my training.
Everything IS practice. When we are training, it is not just about the workout that particular day. It is about the sleep we get, the stress we are under, the food we eat, and the way our bodies feel. Everything becomes a part of our training and training becomes a part of everything we do. Let me know how this applies to your life? How do you change your lifestyle to meet your training goals and how have those changes positively or negatively affected your training?
