Athlete: Can I skip today’s run?
Coach: Of course.
Athlete: What about two days?
Coach: That is still your decision.
Athlete: What if I take a whole week off, just because I don’t feel like it?
Coach: No one will stop you.
Athlete: Can I train only when I am in the mood?
Coach: You can do that as well.
Athlete: Then what is the limit?
Coach: The limit is in your expectations. You cannot ask for progress without consistency. You cannot show up on race day with “only when I feel like it” training.
Comfort is always an option, but it never builds the runner you want to become.
Strength comes from the days you choose effort over excuses.
Every skipped run is a small vote for staying the same.
