I especially like his reference to a corner stone of Brett Sutton's coaching philosophy - "belief in what you are doing is more important than what you are actually doing."
Too often we get caught up in the numbers, splits, and distances instead of than focusing on establishing our own program that will lead to consistent training. We see what other people are doing and question our own training - leading us to try and do more. This typically leads to burnout, poor training, injury all which disrupts consistent training, which is the foundation for improvement and better race results.
Next time you find yourself comparing your training load to someone else, trust in your own plan....
....and then go out and kick their ass on race day!!
