The 50th Edition

Consistency is the most important. So, you need to find a rhythm.

Something to Think About

Your training should feel like brushing your teeth. Not something you debate. Just something you do.

Something to Ask Yourself

Is my training simple and repeatable enough that I could keep doing it for years?

Article of the Week

Consistency is the secret sauce behind lasting progress in fitness, business, and beyond. This read breaks down why showing up regularly (even imperfectly) outpaces bursts of perfection, and how to build habits that actually stick. Expect practical mindset shifts and a gentle nudge to ditch the all-or-nothing trap.

Personal Lesson

There was a time I kept changing my training every few weeks. I’d get a new plan, or a new goal, get excited, and throw myself into it. But before long I’d burn out or get bored and need something new. I was chasing intensity, not consistency. And it showed. I wasn’t actually getting much fitter. I was just really good at starting again.

What changed for me was the mindset. I stopped trying to build the perfect plan and started thinking about how to make training feel like a natural part of my day. Not something I had to squeeze in or psych myself up for. Just a small, regular part of my life. Something I could keep doing even when I was tired, busy, or unmotivated.

Now, I think of training like tapping a drum. You don’t need to hit it hard. You just need to keep the rhythm going. As a drummer myself, I quite like the metaphor. 😉 

It might not look impressive to anyone else, but it works. The days where you just show up and tap away are the ones that build the foundation.

Running – Life’s Metaphor

In life, just like in running, the things that matter most are often the quietest. The routines, the daily decisions, the habits you don’t have to think about. Rhythm makes room for growth.

Final Thoughts

Progress comes from repetition. Not from big changes or perfect conditions. But from rhythm. Training needs to be something you can actually do, not just something that looks good on paper.

If your training feels overwhelming or fragile, try simplifying it. Take the pressure off. Make it easy to come back to. Because the goal is not to have a perfect twelve weeks. The goal is to still be enjoying this in ten years.

You don’t need to change everything to move forward. Small adjustments are more powerful than dramatic shifts. Add slowly. Adapt gently. Keep the rhythm alive.

So next time you’re unsure what to do, don’t overthink it. Go for a run. Keep the beat. Let the rhythm carry you forward.

Thanks again for reading and subscribing.

Run the runnable, and keep showing up for yourself!
