Listen up! You want to be successful as an endurance athlete? You've got to eat, sleep, and breathe consistency. It ain't a joke! I don't care about talent; I care about the grind. It's the daily hammering on that rock, chipping away until it breaks.

Listen up, because I'm only going to say this once. Fasting and shortcuts might look like the easy way out, but there's no substitute for hard work and discipline. If you're an athlete looking to shed some weight, you focus on your diet and your training.

"Harry, how easy is too easy?"
Listen up, easy days ain't the same for every Tom, Dick, or Harry. You need to learn what "easy" means for you. You gotta feel like it's a walk in the park, but not like you're just strolling to the fridge. You're in this to get fitter, not lazier!

Listen up! Block out the time in your planner with an ink pen – make it as non-negotiable as a meeting with the CEO. When the time comes, be there, no excuses, no BS. This is a commitment to yourself, to your goals, and to the effort it's going to take to crush them. Understand?

—that's what gets you to the finish line, that's what makes champions.
**Number one: Consistency in training.**
Hit your sessions, don't skip, don't cheat. When it's raining, you train. When it's scorching hot, you train.

"But Coach, it's so much more convenient to not have to worry about putting a heart rate strap on every morning to take my HRV"
Convenience doesn't earn you victories; discipline does—strap up, track your HRV, and start adopting the daily habits of a champion.

Stay away from fads and focus on what's proven to work: strength training, cardiovascular fitness, flexibility work, and a solid nutritional plan.
Shortcuts are for people looking for excuses. Are you an athlete or are you looking for excuses? Decide and act accordingly.

It's not just about losing a few pounds; it's about building a body that can perform and a mindset that won't settle for easy.

Real talk...
For the vast majority...
Carbohydrate intake isn't limiting your burn rate.
Fitness is!
My prediction with gut training and 120+ carbs per hour. Some elites will do it successfully. Brands will market it. Average runner will try and blow out their drawers. New wave of low carb endurance will follow. People advocating for gut training and hyper fueling will complain

Look, bottom line: You've got a solid base, but solid won't cut it if you're aiming for more. You improve these numbers, you elevate your performance. It's going to hurt. It's going to take dedication. But that's the game we're in. You ready to step up? Let's get to work.

Bottom line: both are key to stoppin' you from burning out or breaking down, but they come at it from different angles. Easy days keep the gears turning, recovery days grease 'em.

Take a walk later in the day, but keep it casual, we’re talking a pace that wouldn't scare a snail. This isn't just for your body; your head needs a break too. Having one day when you're not busting your guts can make the rest of the week’s grind bearable.

On the other flank, we've got shortcuts. Looking for shortcuts is a fool’s errand. It’s the easy way out, and guess what? There are no easy ways out when it comes to real achievement. Shortcuts might seem attractive – less effort, quicker results – but they backfire.

Same goes for you swimmers out there; if you're clocking over 26 seconds for a 50, you'd better set your sights on the longer hauls.
