I hope you get to do most of your training with a smile on your face.
If most of your training isn't bringing you any joy, then what are we doing, really?
There is a way to train seriously and have fun at the same time.
That probably doesn't involve doing threshold intervals every time you get outside…

I use heat mainly for muscular relaxation - seminar has specifics for performance
I’d wager that folks who try to make heat a stressful session are trying too hard and thinking too much => across the board

What it comes down to: you have to behave like the person you're going to become, before anybody's watching.
So ask yourself, what would that person do today?
How would they spend their morning?
Who would they spend their time with?
What would they say no to?
Then start making those decisions now.

wow SNL went innnnn on Elon Musk during tonight's Weekend Update. Jeremy Culhane's impression of him is so good
"Grok, do, like, an epic vulgar roast of me, Elon Musk"
"Elon Musk, you're the worst thing South Africa has ever done. When you're on TV, it feels like an episode of Hate on the Spectrum. Maybe if you have 100 more kids, one of them will talk to you."

The backlash against data centres should be the beginning of a much bigger conversation about the tech industry. We need less technology forced into every corner of our lives, not more. Cars don’t need giant screens, refrigerators don’t need computers, and every aspect of our lives doesn’t need to be monitored, tracked or turned into another app designed to collect our personal data.

For me winning = improving. A daily habit & practice. A mindset you disciplined execute every day of your life and follow by actions and execution.
You can always improve, no matter your age, profession or background.
Win every single day of your life 🤙🚀

Elon Musk did not found Tesla, nor did he invent the car. Tesla was founded and built originally by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning.
Elon Musk isn't why SpaceX is successful, either. The real genius behind the rocket is Tom Mueller, who designed the rocket.
Elon Musk is not a genius. He has invented nothing. He just buys the companies and steals all the credit.

It’s kinda crazy that 70-80 year olds are generally seen as unemployable due to physical and mental decline. But we’re allowing them to run our entire country.

Alright my second point on this is, what works for you doesn’t mean it’s right or will work for someone else
“I never stretch” “I only run 3 times a week” etc etc.
We are all individuals and athletes need to be treated the same. What I do myself I would rarely give to an athlete! #coaching

The key benefit of following Alan's advice is we don't have to negotiate with ourselves, and our lives learn our schedule.
The nature of what goes into the slots will change, but the slots are held across the year.
Morning slots are the most useful: (1) start each day with a win; and (2) they are the least likely to be disrupted.

There's a book that changed the way I talk to myself, and it's how I want all my athletes to talk to themselves too.
It's called Permission to Feel, by Marc Brackett. He's a professor at Yale. 🧵

A federal judge has blocked the Department of Education's plan to limit professional degrees to 11 programs, notably excluding nursing and social work. This is the third ruling blocking the plan from taking effect.

Google controls about 90% of all search. Nearly everyone uses it and it’s become a critical tool in the classroom.
Google is using its monopoly power to punish schools by blocking access to search if they switch off AI to protect students. This is happening because a court ruled its search monopoly illegal and then let it keep it.
My AI Charter framework would rein in Google by structurally separating AI and search, so that AI is a choice and not a condition of access.
Breaking: Google will turn off web search for schools that opt out of A.I. for kids.

A little Monday reality check...
This 👇
And it's not even about "enjoying" training a lot. If you want the protection that comes with high cardiorespiratory fitness, you *have to* train a lot.
As we get older, maintaining that highest quintile VO2max of ~50 ml/kg/min takes volume.
Way more volume than most are ready to admit.
And the only way you get that volume is if you keep the bulk of your training at low intensity.
And, I say this as someone who has tested hundreds of athletes...
The only older athletes who had a VO2max of 50+ were low-intensity, high-volume endurance athletes.
IOW...
Quit the social media nonsense, and get to work!
Except if you do a lot of high-volume work... you'll break if it's all high intensity. For those of us who enjoy running, etc-- low HR training is a key component. You should chat with @Alan_Couzens about this one day.

12 things elite athletes do, that you apply to your life:
1. Optimize sleep.
2. Find someone you trust to give you feedback.
3. Plan your day.
4. Make recovery of your mind and body a priority.
5. Focus on the process and let the results take care of themselves.
6. Learn from both success and failure.
7. Be a great teammate.
8. Sharpen your skills. Master the fundamentals of your job.
9. Embrace the boredom of consistency.
10. Be intentional about where you spend your time and who you surround yourself with.
11. Study your craft. Look back at your performance and seek for ways to improve.
12. Be deliberate about leaving work on the field (at the office) so you can give your best to your family.

TOO many MF people just spouting the same random ass "protocols" or lists of things people should do because it "worked for them" and they hold it as gospel
This is WRONG....and a big reason why everyone is so fn confused
What people need is PERSONAL DATA
Then you ANALYZE the data and feed it into a SYSTEM
The system is the operating model that sets priorities of what needs to be addressed
The METHODS are the levers that focus/work on the priorities and which approach to use based on situation/circumstance/environment/etc.
PROTOCOLS are the tiny details (dose/sets/reps/time/etc.)
Then you execute and see what happens and then RETEST
But FIRST and foremost you have to TEST/ASSESS to get data
Not enough people are starting here
Everyone is jumping straight to PROTOCOLS thinking it will fix everything.....they won't
Testing => Data => Analysis => System => Methods => Protocols => Retest =>Repeat
This process works for EVERYONE from elite athletes all the way down to the average Joe
Any idiot can copy a protocol, but they sure as shit can't copy your personal data
