I’ve been frustrated lately by my lack of progress in cycling and swimming. I’m getting alot faster in running, but not making much progress in the other two sports.
A friend of mine wrote an email to me and said “BTW, my experience is that any pace you can hold for 500 [meter swim], you can hold indefinitely (it just hurts more…).”
This got me thinking that I can keep pushing myself past pain and fatigue in running, but not in cycling and swimming. This ability to push past pain is called Mental Toughness (I think). Maybe I have it in running because I’ve simply been running longer. I need to get there in my cycling and swimming. Something to work on!
