Run Fast, Not Hard

I was a kid when I realised that for me, balance is never going to look like a chilled out day and then watching TV in the evening.

I like to push myself to the limit. A lot.

But not all the time.

For me, balance means periods of intensity followed by periods of rest.

Former Olympic physiologist, Dr. Wells, suggests the idea “Run Fast, Not Hard.” Which I LOVE.

The idea of working 24/7 doesn’t appeal to me.

But some days, I will work all day, because I LOVE it.

Then I’ll take it easy.

Balance isn’t about even slices of the pie.

It’s about balancing a big slice with a little slice later.
