Early Morning Killers x
Just busting with energy at the moment. Each day I’m up around 4 and walk Daisy my dog. This time is essential to me (and Daisy but in a different way) as I have time to think about the day ahead and set foot into my goals each day. Other days when I’m tuned in to those goals I listen to podcasts. I have some favorites I listen to often, guests such as Doug Brignole and Brooks Kubik. Also the Diet Coach-Tad Inoue does some awesome interviews – very different in his approach with his guests, very positive and deep.
After a walk I will swig a coffee and read something inspiring. This further puts me in a state to tear up the gym. After 20 min or so I’m chomping at the bit.
I head to the gym or train at home with either Jo or the guys.
Normally at this point I’m very quite and deep in focus.
This is something Jo has not sussed out yet even after a few years of training together- probably because she has not seen this ‘show level’ of focus.
So prior to training she’s asks, “you ok”?
“Just focused” is my answer-and we crack on.
Following are a couple of really good sessions we had recently.
