Today was a struggle despite getting plenty of sleep. I hit snooze twice which is unusual for me. I managed to roll out of bed and get the day started though. I don't think my mind was where it needed to be. I jumped on the bike for a 30-minute warm-up. No issues on the bike. In fact, it felt great and the legs loosened up quite well by the end of the 30 minutes.
Then off to strength training. It is an easy 20 minute session with 3-circuits of 7 exercises. I struggled from the start. The second exercise, 60-seconds plank, I stopped at 30-seconds. Then I just struggled to make it through the remainder of the circuit. Second time through, same thing with the plank and the third time I just wanted to quit, form was off on the first exercise so I decided to stop before I hurt myself due to improper form.
You gotta know your body and your mind. If you are doing a workout and you form goes and you can't correct yourself for one reason or another, it is better to stop than continue with improper form. It is better to run ten 1/4 mile sprints with proper form than to run 20 and hit your times but your form was incorrect for the final 10. Quality is much better than quantity with poor form.
Happy Training Everyone.
