Shocked when race day doesn’t go to plan?
“Legs felt heavy.”
“Fitness just wasn’t there.”
“Didn’t feel prepared.”
In reality… your training slot was living in the same place as:
👉 “I’ll run if work isn’t busy”
👉 “I’ll go after dinner if I’m not tired”
👉 “I’ll fit it in somewhere this week”
That’s not a training plan.
That’s a hope strategy.
If it matters, it goes in the diary.
Not the “maybe” diary.
The actual one.
The runners who improve the most aren’t more motivated.
They’re just the ones who decide:
“This is when I run.”
Non-negotiable. Like work. Like school pickup. Like your Sunday roast.
Funny how consistency suddenly appears…
…and race results start behaving themselves too.
Schedule it → do it → get the results.
Simple.
Not always easy.
But simple.
