A ritual

sacrii ce

T

he power of regular training is often

eclipsed by the results it yields. Train

for, say, a half marathon, and it’s the PB

you remember, not the consistent effort

that got you there. Lose 20 kay-gees of

lard and everyone will comment on the result, not

the good dietary decisions you made every day for

the last six months.

Regular training creates a sacred, private ritual of

sorts. Sure, you’ve got a job, kids, responsibilities, things

to do, but when you’re training it’s your time and space.

It’s your time to work on building a better, happier,

healthier you. Appreciate it as such and you’ll have no

trouble hitting any goal, be that getting to 7% body fat

(page 72) or riding your first Gran Fondo (page 87).

Because when you ritualise training, making it an

integral part of your life, it becomes automatic. The

repetition of the act, the tap, tap, tap, every day, every

week becomes enjoyable.

Same with diet. You eat well every damn day (page

101), because that’s just what you do, not what you

have to do. It’ll take a few weeks to build a new ritual

but once you do it, it will become a sanctuary, a place

that you want to be. This is when training and good

diet stops becoming a chore and becomes a cherished

ritual. Get to this headspace, and you can achieve

any goal. And you’ll enjoy it.

Stay strong.
