Become Fit Fort CollinsIt starts with last night
Yep -
planning your next day's fitness, starts with thinking about it the night before. One might argue that it starts way before the night before and that would be true of elite/professional athletes who have their training planned for the entire year/season of their sport(s).
But, for the rest of us normal folk, the time line doesn't have to be that long. Whew.
However, if you don't think ahead at least a little, chances are your date with exercise won't happen.
Yesterday, I felt tired. So, imagine thinking about exercising the next day when you are already feeling tired. What to do? Tell yourself you are tired in the moment and the moment passes...shouldn't stop you from planning tomorrow because tomorrow will be different. You can always reassess when that moment arrives.
Today's plan that I made last night. Get up early...short run.....group ride at 6:15pm....I will bookend my day with exercise. Nice way to start the day and great way to end it.

I agree that my training begins with a plan. I try to stay focused on my goal and not so much how I feel the night before. I have found some of my best workouts have been on days that I am tired, or the day after I have been very tired. There have also been workouts that I have started and walked away from because I just did not have it that day. I showed up though, my intent is always to keep moving forward toward my goals. My point is my workouts have a purpose and my motivation is my personal success. I consider my training to be for life and it has seasons, it changes with me. Having goals, purpose and the understanding that my fitness if ever changing keeps it interesting. Tonight I have a plan for tomorrow, for the whole weekend in fact, the interesting part will be what the rain does for my 5 hour bike ride.
