Road to CDA: Weekly Quote
"Competitive runners often tightrope the red line between pure, unadulterated pain and something less severe, say, discomfort. Experienced distance runners are used to discomfort- a familar training companion. In fact, we purposely venture out of our comfort zone in training- those sizzling speed sessions, killer hill workouts, or even a several hour distance run- where the lactic acid flows freely. This "venturing out" toward the borders of pain is Nietschean in both quest and theory. 'What does not destroy me makes me stonger'
- or so we hope."
G. Gordon Liddy, on running
"The most important thing you can learn about training for a triathon is to simulate race conditions as close as possible. Train yourself in advance to deal with discomfort and fatigue you'll experience when you race"
Dave Scott, Triathlon Training, 1986
