My real epiphany came after I had retired from competing, once the endorphins wore off and I seen that throughout all of my pain, suffering and sacrifice, during those hundreds of endurance contests during which I had competed, when the gun discontinued until the time I crossed the finish line, not once could I ever truly say to myself “isn’t this fun!” How sad, really. Life’s way too short not to participate in to the maximum, particularly when it comes to physical pursuits and pleasures.
Granted, I enjoyed a significant sense of accomplishment from pursuing inside them for hours compelling athletic goals, and learned many valuable character lessons on the journey. As legendary sub-four minute miler Sir Roger Bannister said in reflecting upon his accomplishments for the track, “Struggle gives meaning and richness to life”. As you pursue your fitness goals with my guidance, I want to inspire someone to be the best you could be, shatter mental and physical barriers to peak performance, and achieve personal growth and enlightenment along the way. However, I want to assist you to establish parameters simply put journey—your struggle to be the ideal you can be—is healthy and fun, rather then destructive.
Luckily to me, I was forced to retire from endurance competition as a result of broken down body while I had been a young man. I’ve had the oppertunity to enjoy earlier times couple decades exploring the thing it means to be considered a strong, fit, lean, healthy and happy person. On the occasion of my 40th birthday, still in the influence of lingering fatigue from my racing days, I got some laughs when I made the profound statement that, “I’d really rather just look fit than be fit.” Really though, my quip were built with a measure of truth going without running shoes, and also became the impetus to me to seek out effective shortcuts to fitness, strength, leanness and health, that required the smallest amount of amount of time, pain, suffering, and sacrifice. That’s what Primal Blueprint Fitness (PBF) is focused on.
