For optimal athlete development, play the long game.
Involving kids in talent promotion programmes early leads to short-term performance success.
But success at senior level was associated with LATER entry into talent promotion programmes.

This is not a message to be proud off or one to be aspiring too. Not just in cycling but in many sports,poor and dysfunctional relationships with food are a huge concern.

Last week I was on a panel with an Astronaut/Navy Seal, elite marathoner, & a coach to the best triathletes
The topic: Achieving peak performance with an undercurrent of usage of data
Where did we end up on what mattered most?
"The human element is key. It comes down to love"

Great news that @wholegreenjuice is reopening again under the stewardship of @OptimalFitLK and his wife Mary, taking over the business from Anna Good who did a tremendous job in creating #Wholegreen. Both Michael & Mary are warmly welcomed to the area.

Is it any wonder athletes find it hard to take a day off and recover when you have โelite/proโ athletes saying โrest day todayโฆ.I only didโโฆโฆโฆand continue to list the so called easier activities/workouts they did that day. Nothing close to a rest day.

Is Belfast the new running Mecca??

Belfast Running Appreciation Thread.
Belfast is incredibly under rated and under used for its running infrastructure and those that do use it, donโt appreciate it. Very few places in the world have the diversity of surfaces entirely connected along a traffic free route.

โMy youngest son was 7 when I joined this club. Heโs going to be a teenager next week and Iโve hardly seen him. Iโve seen him 1-2 days a week for the last 5 years. Heโs a little boy, he needs his dad to watch him play on a Sunday.โ
