Self-discipline takes you to the hard places. It is the firm persistence to keep going.
Self-compassion is what gives you the courage when you are at the gate, and what helps you get back up when you are thrown down. And then self-discipline gets you moving forward again. Something I see all the time in my research and writing and talk about frequently in my coaching practice is the need to marry fierce self-discipline with fierce self-compassion.
On sustainable success, peak performance, and career advice.
@trailrunnermag Running is scary.
Running, like medicine and taxidermy, can provide great insight into the rate of organic matter decay. So, yes, running has a tendency to turn anyone into a nihilist sometimes. The highest highs and the lowest lows are sharing a three-bedroom suite with the monotonous, in-your-own-head grind. Joy, sadness, boredom all shacked up together. Throw in some endorphin swings and hormonal shifts for good measure.
Tears of joy. Sad sobs. Bored to tears. Those are all sayings for a reason, and I think they are a part of many more running lives than is reflected in social-media posts or magazine articles. Not only is it OK to cry in and around runs, I think it might just be a sign that you’re paying attention.
In March of 2020, I slipped on the illegally dumped cooking grease in front of John’s Burger and couldn’t walk for 6 weeks. This was my first injury since I started Endurance Training in 1979. Then in late April of 2020, I ended up in the hospital for the first time in my life.
The diagnosis was Congestive Heart Failure.
This Vlog / Podcast documents my Sixth Decade of Endurance Training. The past Decade was about HOW FAR I could go.
This Decade will be about HOW FAST can I go post Congestive Heart Failure.
