"Most men stop when they begin to tire. Good men go until they think they are going to collapse. But the VERY BEST know the mind tires before the body and push themselves further and further beyond all limits. Only when all these limits are shattered can the unattainable be reached." -Mark Mysnyk
Consistently I have athletes and clients come in for training that try to stop before they are finished. I have clients that try to stop with just a few hundred meters left in a 2k row, or 1 minute left in a time-domain workout. Why is it that we are afraid to accomplish what we are truly capable of? Our minds tell us to stop, because we are becoming uncomfortable, and we keep telling ourselves that we should stop because we are tired and we have already done enough work for the day. However, unless we push ourselves to stay in this state of discomfort, and push through our percieved limitations, can we every see what we are truly capable of accomplishing. It is only when we reach this level of training that we will truly get the results each of us are truly seeking. True fitness comes from this type of training.
