Lose the Data! Just for a minute

Will Kirousis

Lose the data!  Just for a minute

Yes, I’m a coach.  Yes, I love using data to better understand how an athlete performed a workout/race and to look for ways they have or can improve more.  But you know what is incredibly under rated?  Ditching the data for some of your training.  There is a huge value in just learning how it feels to move, and in just enjoying it for it’s own sake.  It really helps us better understand the feedback our body provides, and lets us just take in the environment we are in.  It also reminds us just how fun all this stuff is, and helps reduce the sense of “having” to hit a number or session which can be really frustrating over the long haul.  So, every now and then, give yourself a shot, and go data free for a session.  Just enjoy it!
