What immediately comes to mind are the following post topics but I know there were a lot more:<BR/><BR/><B>Training the Will</B>: This was instrumental in inspiring me to take accountability for my diet and nutrition. As a result, I started eating clean and subsequently lost 10 lbs to make 80kg and dropped below 15% BF. As a result, it saved me some snatch reps for my test and took some pressure off this part of the Cert.<BR/><BR/><B>Setting Achievable Measurable Time-bound Goals</B>: When I started training even with the sound direction from ETK, it shortly degenerated into random workouts with no direction. After reading your post, I used my blog to post specific short, medium and long term goals. In particular the RKC Cert was one of the long term goals (one year+) that wind up manifesting itself much sooner than I originally thought possible. This was mainly due to very focused and mindful training sessions designed to meet this goal.<BR/><BR/><B>VO2 Max</B>: Posts like this one today (BTW excellent work as usual! ) finally got me off my butt to try this much more demanding way of training. Well, it served me VERY well as I completed the Certs VO2 workout with much left in the tank much to the surprise of those several decades younger than me.<BR/><BR/>So please keep this blog alive and well as I know I'm only one of many who visit here frequently and always leave with much more than when they entered.Franklinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12125367865221040103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960097.post-47891935635501546312008-06-12T16:02:00.000-07:002008-06-12T16:02:00.000-07:00Everything is going well, just getting settled in....Everything is going well, just getting settled in.
