Next 13 days...

Received e-mail from IronTeam Head Coach Wayne about our workout for the next 13 days straight:

"Yes Virginia there is a heart that benefits from repetitive aerobic effort in that chest of yours.

From Tuesday the 16th through Sunday the 28th of December, you are an IRONMAN machine, churning out physical efforts day in and day out. The efforts are not hard, but they are efforts. Listen to your body and if you require a day off in there somewhere then be honest with yourself and take the day off. The evaluation of your ability to sustain effort over those 13 days comes down to three categories.

Pain....Discomfort...Fatigue.

If you are in pain, stop. If you are in discomfort, monitor and if your form is faltering due to the discomfort then stop. If you are fatigued, suck it up and keep going. Fatigue makes you stronger, discomfort tunes your body to your mind, but pain sets you back. Don't endure pain, listen to the discomfort and drive through the fatigue."
