If you’ve ever had a crappy race or workout, chances are, if you think about why things went wrong, you’ll learn a lot more and improve as an athlete more, than if things went wonderfully and you don’t give your race or workout a second thought.
Our brains are hardwired to focus on the negative experiences that we have, it’s a survival thing!
In Fitspeek 49 Zack Neufeld presents part two of Sewing Seeds of Victory From Ashes of Defeat. The people to your right are great examples of that concept.
Also in this week’s Fitspeek, we get an update from first time Ironman athlete Jen Burns. She’ll tell us about how her body is adapting to her new weightlifting routine and how the results are showing up in the swimming pool.
And a guy who used to be seen in swimming pools in Maple Ridge, Kevin Watt, makes his return to Fitspeek after a few weeks off. He jumps right into action, probing Zack Neufeld about his heartening performance at the Valley Vertikiller. Judging from the look on Zack’s face here, I’d say that the thoughts of Carl Rogers and Chris McCormack are propelling him toward a podium finish.
