Wayne Bennett on the greatest challenge in coaching 👇
🗣️”The great athletes of the world don’t compete against the opposition, they compete against themselves. You’re the opposition, you’re the one stopping you from being good. You’re the ones living the double standards, you’re the ones not always doing your best.”

Unpopular opinion:
The "session" missing from your current routine that the majority of athletes will benefit from the most...
A *true* recovery day.
No, not a day without training, a day that you prioritize recovery in everything you do - nutrition, environment, active movement, minimizing noise/outside stimulation etc.

⚡️Ever wondered how do elites plan their hydration during the race? So Ellud Kipchoge has got a dedicated bottle man, Claus-Henning Schulke.
Interesting! Emphasis on lesser intensity training hitting solely aerobic system and not working zone 2/ grey zone. Endurance athletes need big aerobic system and so need to train that via low intensity training. Training too hard won’t improve aerobic system as efficiently.
For fellow running enthusiasts...a must see analysis from @TStellingwerff on #EluidKipchoge's estimated training distribution in the lead into #BerlinMarathon via @sweatelite #training #Marathon #WorldRecord

If we were really to see one another as brothers and sisters, there would be no basis for division, cheating and exploitation among us. Therefore it’s important to promote the idea of the oneness of humanity, that in being human we are all the same.

When our intentions toward others are good, we find that any feelings of anxiety or insecurity we may have are greatly reduced. We experience a liberation from our habitual preoccupation with self and paradoxically, this gives rise to strong feelings of confidence.
The future! One where we reclaim our time to do exactly want we want to do. Smarter, more efficient and happier people. One blip on this cosmic timeline, let’s make that experience as wholesome and enriching as possible.
New Zealand financial services firm Perpetual Guardian is reporting happier staff and no drop in productivity after its landmark trial of a four-day week.

Have her play as many sports that include running as possible, and stay away from specific running training until she is in HS. nitter.gq/Mcannally18/status/993…
