Here is a list of what some of your fellow athletes feel is a condensed version of their philosophy.
For training:
"Be physically ready for each days training, no more, no less. Hard days should be hard, easy days should be needed."
For Life:
"If you cant prove yourself wrong, you can have the confidence that you are doing the best with your abilities."
Work like you don't need the money
Love like you've never been hurt
Train like Tibbs is chasing you
The details of your training are secondary to believing in it and dedicating yourself to it day in and day out.
"Body is Evil and Must be Punished"...it's actually a Hamish Carter quote that I live by!
Go really hard on your hard days and really easy on your easy days.
"GO", Frequent, Long. For ADVENTURE, to crest a hill and PUNCH IT, or cruise control and roll. FOR PURE TRAINING ECSTASY.
Swim. Bike. Run. Repeat.
"Strive for your goals and acheivements... Push until it hurts! Analyze workout results and reflect, which motivates for tomorrow's new endeavors."
Life is simple
Triathlon
Swim Bike Run Eat Sleep
All things excellent are as difficult as they are rare.
It's not about the finish line. It's about the 5000 miles between this moment, and that moment.
It's not how fast you are, it's how fast you look.
Swim Bike Run harder
To reach the end is so clear
How to get there, not
Fitness training for triathletes offers a well rounded routine that is beyond compare. Swim long, Bike long, Run long - forever.
'pain is freedom'
"The more you sweat in practice the less you bleed in battle"
The Trinity
Stillness: Medium of Infinity
Sol: Source of Will
Gaia: Well of Intuition
Phi: Weaving the Trinity into Energetic Expression!
"Anyone can work hard when they want to; Champions do it when they don't."
What hurts me now makes me grow and is gone tomorrow.
TRIATHLON
cheaper than bypass
"Swim like you are not tired, ride your bike like you did not swim and run like there is no tomorrow!"
"To train, for me, is a part of the thing itself. From now until I cross the line, I am racing."
"Slice through the wind, pierce the waves, pound the winding trail—body and soul channel Earth’s energy and find true living!"
"Pain is weakness leaving your body"
"No matter how much it hurts now, my body will thank me later."
Quality breakthrough workouts balanced by optimal nutrition and recovery. Progressive overload for adapting fitness. Plenty of fun to keep coming back.
Eat Right, Sleep Right. Train like Hell.
Focus on your swim. Focus on your bike. Focus on your run. Focus on your nutrition. Don't care what others say.
Swim Bike Run Repeat
Goals burn hot,
Train close to the fire.
Every session has purpose,
Be patience, focused.
Race with a plan,
Realize dreams. (The $152.99 philosophy. That's 122.99 for the FR201, and 30.00 for the USB -> Serial adapter. I really dig this one, I think the opening two lines are something I can easily memorize and reflect on while doing a workout. SMK, be sure to upload your workouts to motionbased.com so we can all make sure you are using your new toy.)
PASSION: Loving your sport, dreaming big dreams. PERSISTANCE: Having courage and tenacity to achieve those dreams. PATIENCE: Knowing success will come.

Run. Run more. Run even more.
Now run faster. Now even faster.
You're ready.
Always enjoy your running.
run hard on hard days
run easy on easy days
and on race day check your nuts and go fast
Eat only what you can run off in the same day and slap lazy Atkins people on their big asses.
- Commitment to your goal
- Consistent training
- Focus your mind
- Understand your body
Run often.
Run long.
Run up and down.
Run joyfully.
nobody gives out medals for training logs
The tranquility of the terrain mapped out
If you think you've got your training down to a science, you havn't been paying attention.
I used to be ecstatic over PRs ... now I'm thrilled just to make it out the door in the morning.

Run more.
Run more hills.

Progress the desire within mind and soul. Then establish the bridge in which to expand this ambition through the entire body.
