It's hard to always stay motivated yet easy to slip off the rails. And one of the biggest traps is comparing ourselves to others. Today, Mike talks about how this has happened to him since his father passed, but also how it's help remind him that we shouldn't take health and fitness for granted. The guys open up about intention and struggles in an effort to find the best ways to appreciate training as a process. You can never be "the old you" so embrace where you're going. Topics: Tough time of year Mike's training struggles That's why intention was so important Don't compare yourself to others Afraid we won't be able to dig deep How quickly we can lose it The power of honesty and openness Fast and slow are relative It's enough to know we're heading in the right direction Thrive to be in a process Drowning yourself in expectations Building on yesterday When accolades lead to complacency Do you really want to be a new you? So much pressure on a day or race Thoreau - Be a new man in the same old clothes Wisdom is knowing that you don't know everything Do you really want to get back to the old you?
