DAY 84 - TRAINING NOTES & BOBBY MAXIMUS

Really glad I was reading Bobby Maximus' 'Training through pain, salvation through suffering' - because on the rower today I really focused on the following words ("try to break the machine you are using. You need to fight, scratch and claw for ever extra meter or calorie".)
I repeated these words in my head over and over every time I felt sick and wanted to slow down, especially when I got a nasty stitch in my side on the 4th set. Coach OC's voice was shouting the words at me in my mind - and it absolutely made a difference... best times so far on my 5x 1000m.
