5-4-14 ENDURANCE TRAINING + "Fear"


'Everybody is afraid--has to be. Life is such that one has to be. And people who become fearless, become fearless not by becoming brave-because a brave man has only repressed his fear; he's not really fearless. A man becomes fearless by accepting his fears. It is not a question of bravery. It is simply seeing into the facts of life and realizing that these fears are natural. One accepts them!'

I am going back to having Sundays as my endurance training where I can mix in some movements that are a weakness of mine. Over the next few months I am going to be doing long distance (more than 45 minutes total) rowing/skiing/biking/running and I will mix in some of my weaknesses intermittently throughout the workout. Muscle ups are a big weakness of mine. Correction, muscle ups while tired are a big weakness. I can knock out big sets of muscle ups when I am not tired but the moment I get my heart-rate up and a little bit of fatigue sets in my muscle-up game goes out the window. Check out what I did today to help train endurance + work on my weaknesses.
