WOW! More and more soles I chat to these days have signed up for IMM. It starts in 166days that’s 23weeks or 3984 hours to be precise. Bearing these numbers in mind, there will be many thoughts that are going or have gone through your mind. If they haven’t already– they WILL:
The Training: You have dispensed of the cash and now think you still have time to laze around. "I will start tomorrow" is your favourite phrase. It can be done but the training is to me, 70% of the fun especially when in a big group. So get out there with your teammates and motivate one another. Challenge each other, have a laugh. Train hard and make it count but ENJOY the process and stop telling yourself “I will start tomorrow”!
The Task: An IM is NOT an insurmountable challenge; a challenge yes, but not unrealistic. Multiple IM finishers say it is a process of mind over matter. It is NOT about being the fastest or strongest. It is about defining your personal goal and why YOU want to take the journey. Realise and recognise YOUR goal, share, and then go out there with a positive attitude rather the “SHIT what I am doing here” train of thought.
Now, you may think this is all just a tad premature to mention? So in response to those “loads of time/will start tomorrow” thinkers I have 3 digits for you.
