Training for Peak Performance and Embracing Discomfort

Sometimes it may be GOOD to feel SLOW & BAD 😬! Hard training should not all be flowers, ponies & “smart” tools.

Phil Sesemann wants you to understand that it is OK to feel tired and keep training. If you are doing HEAPS of long or hard sessions, at some point in the next few weeks it will get harder. But you will rebound 🚀 if you structure your training well!
