Quote of the Day: Prepare For Reality

"What ought one to say then as hardship comes? I was practicing for this, I was training for this." --Epictetus

Prepare For Reality:

For the majority of us who are not elite athletes, or need to specialise in a particular pursuit: general preparedness is what our fitness goals should be focussed on.  Who knows what may be required of us from a physical or mental perspective in future?  

Our training should be varied enough, challenging enough and functionally appropriate to cover as many bases as possible.  Ask some 'what-ifs' from your training?  What if I had to run for a few miles?  What if I had to carry my partner to safety? Sprint for the bus? Jump or climb a wall? Push my car by myself? Jump from a first floor window?  

Do the above tasks seem an impossibility or imaginery?  They could be a reality...
