“If a man advances confidently in the directions of his dreams to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will pass an invisible boundary: new, universal and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings.” – Henry David Thoreau
What is your dream job? What would be your dream working conditions? How would you know if you have achieved these conditions? How would you heighten your sense of well being during ‘common hours’?
The fact is that, as endurance athletes, we can train at unusual and uncommon hours. We have many choices. Sleep in and train in the evening; or arise early and train before breakfast and the early shift. Isn’t it a wonder that races take place on weekends AND weekdays? There are morning races (Ironman 70.3 Singapore; Singapore Marathon), as well as evening ones (Sundown Marathon/Ultra; Marina21K; Northface 100).
Take steps forward by shifting your variables. Move them around. Tweak them. Advance confidently towards your life!
