It is damp.
It is colder.
It is windy.
It is great!
Winter is a great time to train and get fitter. Lazy miles on the bike. Sleepy steps on the run. Defeating the potential lethargy that could set in. Winter is a time when some get tougher and some get softer. Either keep the body moving or let it slip into hibernation.
Hibernation is not all that bad. Resting is a great method of conserving energy. Repairing the damage of the summer and all that you threw at yourself. However, snooze too long and you'll find it even harder to get back the mojo.
Keep the training simple.
Put away the GPS watch for a few sessions.
Live away a little from the data and technical elelements of trainig.
Go into hibernation with the gadgets.
Wake up the self determined individual that lies within.
Caught between recording every watt and heart beat; letting the cold air wash over the body and not give a care what's going on inside you and taking in what's around you instead. What's it to be?
Keep your mind active and find out if you alone can get on with the effort and achieve your goals. The music, step by step guide, mobile cardiogram and A-Z computerized speedometer have their place in the training ritual.
Will you hibernate whilst they keep your senses flickering or will you step out the door tomorrow and feel all that is you and train free?
