"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...
