Do not try to run hard 800s for the first time in months at noon, when it’s 90 degrees out, immediately after eating leftover pizza because you were starving.
Do not forget to eat to the point that you get starving right before a workout.
Do not make training schedules for yourself when you’re sleep-deprived and delirious.
Do remember to sleep.
Seriously, sleep.
Maybe eat something too, besides Oreo-filling-filled Chips Ahoy cookies and wine.
Don’t follow an Ironman with three weeks of nothing and then expect to be in half-Ironman shape three weeks after that.
There are a lot of running and triathlon and cycling and sports blogs. They are generally upbeat and cheerful. And unrealistic. If you want sunshine and daffodils, this is not that place.
This is the place for all things endurance sports-related. It's always sunny here.
what are these oreo filling chips ahoy cookies you speak of?
