If you have a bit of a slack training session intensity-wise, it's not because you had a broken leg, a sprained ankle or the flu (because you wouldn't be training in the first place!) It's probably because, mentally, you were somewhere else.
This is spot on.
I go to the gym after work. It is a couple of train stops from where i work. Obviously end of the working day i just want to go home and in the past, it's so easy, especially when the weather's bad to just miss that stop and continue on home.
There's times i've forced myself to go but keep saying to myself, 'you shouldn't be going, you're tired and will do nothing worth while'. I get there and it's half arsed.
Then there's other times i've been just as tired / ill, but looking forward to it, went and it's been a great workout.
It's a case of not feeling sorry for yourself and being determined not to waste your own time.
Talking about it just makes me want to work out :D
Sadly no gym opens this late for me :(
