7 habits ...

Av Pelle - 24 november 2008 18:06

1. Adequate Training

2. Consistent Training

3. Adequate Recovery

4. Setting Goals

5. Coaching

6. Nutrition

7. Positive Mental Attitude

This list is according to Active.com's triathlon newsletter and there are lots of stuff to read about each habit. My general view on these kind of articles is that there are to many of them and to much writing/talking. It feels a bit like reading instructions before you try yourself, regardless if it's about some new technology equipment or some IKEA furniture. Much more fun, to try yourself first and trust your intuition. Of course it seldoms works the way I think, due to either illogical constructions or that I'm smarter than average ;-) Instructions are for dummies ;-) 

If I make an evalutation of my own habits to become a more effective triathlete, runner or whatever, I believe that I have one out of these seven habits and that is number 7. Regarding the other 6 habits, I shoot from the hip and steal my moments whenever I can find them. From a retrospective viewpoint and in the eyes of others, it might look like I've been planning some training & setting goals etc, but that's definately a reconstruction. Even if I read all the stuff about the right ways of doing it, I don't want to become a slave under my own training regime. It has to be my own personal happy-go-lucky goofy style. So I don't really expect any quality results either. As long as I enjoy doing these kind of activities and believe in the positive side-effects that come with it, then I'm happy.

Currently I'm following Kari Martens on the final part of the running in the Deca Ironman Triathlon in Mexico. After 194 hours, he's in second place, only 20 km's behind the leader. Respect man! Still 80 km's to run, so tomorrow the race is over. Unbelievable! Great inspiration, that makes my coming evening run over 10 km's tonight, to feel like a yawning.

I've lost some enthusiasm for blogging lately, so I will take a timeout for a while. To many other things to do and I am already spending to much time in front of the computer. So if you wonder what I'll be doing instead, I hope that the answ...

Vasaloppet 2009 is over. Very impressive results from a MC-gang perspective. 8 out of 8 succesfull finishers. My conclusion from a general view is that is all about mindset and mental power. OK OK OK, some physical abilites as well. The strongest ach...

Ready to hit the ski tracks tomorrow morning. The temperature is perfect, around -10 to -5 degrees. We have tried the tracks up around Smågan this afternoon and it's fabulous conditions. Now we are hoping for a day tomorrow without any snowfall. ...

Yes, the flu has left my system. It has really helped to empty my body from all kind of energy reserves the last 4-5 days. If I remember correct according to some old body charging theories, it's good to clean out and empty your body, before star...

Time is flying in supersonic speed, so it's good to reflect back now and then, to get a picture of what's happening in life. That's why I now and then take a glimse back in some files to check what was going on the year or years before at...
