Well there's probably a pretty good chance that that's true. I know it sounds kinda funny because you think well if my body can't do this, there's no way to will it to do it. Well it started when I was thinking about how on earth I was going to tackle a super long 3.8km swim within a couple hours. So I set out a plan to add 50 meters onto the consecutive distance I could do.
Then I was talking to Lisa who has inadvertantly become my swim coach (among others) and she said 150's? Don't do that, those are shit distances (her exact words, I kid you not). She said do 200's. The first thought that went through my mind.... 200's are double what I can do right now in one go without feeling like I'm going to die. So next day hopped into the pool and was already dreading having to do 200's (6 of them to be exact). But just got going and you know what the funny thing was? I actually kinda enjoyed the 200's and it was definitely a huge breakthrough workout. This week I started doing 400's and didn't die as much as I though I would. So here we are, at the end of January and I've reached my goal, then exceeded by quite a bit. So what's the moral of the story, well set the bar higher than you think you can do it, but just by a bit. Chance are you can do it and it's a whole lot less hard than you thought it would be.
~Cheers
