Always Be Ready

Consistency in training and mental fortitude are crucial for overcoming challenges. Pushing oneself to go beyond perceived limits—like running further than initially planned—builds resilience against competition and self-doubt. The drive to stay ready stems from the awareness of unknown competitors and the relentless pursuit of self-improvement. This mindset emphasizes the importance of being prepared at all times, rather than waiting for a specific event or motivation to initiate training or effort.
