I knew it was going to be a tough weekend, mentally and physically. But through our "train smart" plan, I knew that the timing was right and that I was ready for this weekend's workouts (after a challenging week of training). I had worked really hard for several weeks in order to execute this weekend. With our "train smart" approach to training, one of the most important characteristics that is required is patience. With a masters degree in exercise physiology, I feel I have a good understanding of how to develop a practical and effective training plan. However, with so many variables to consider with training - intensity, frequency, duration, recovery - the athlete that wants to succeed must be patient with a well-formulated plan. This is also true for any individual who works hard for results. Karel and myself, along with our athletes, love to work hard.
