Our thoughts on this quote:
Author and runner Michael Arend quotes one of his athletes saying: "This might not be the best time to achieve my personal best, but it's the perfect time to stay ahead of the rest".
This is so true. Real winners and achievers keep going no matter what, independent of the circumstances they are facing. Following your training plan is easy when the sun is out and the wind is blowing from behind. It is much harder when the rain sets in and you are facing headwinds. This is the time, when you can show true commitment and consistency.
