Recently I have come across many videos on YouTube, Instagram, Tiktok, and even Facebook all of this guy named Chris Williamson on a podcast with Alex Hormozi. Chris brings up this quote from a man named Diper Parmar, The President and CEO of System Level Solutions Inc. Chris is adherent to this quote, and for good reason.
I apply this principal to every area of my live including school, work, but especially running. The only way you will ever have the chance of touching the magic is through the work you avoid. The stretches you DONT do, The cooldown jogs you DONT finish, the strength training that DOESNT get done.
From my personal years of experience, There isn't one practice or run that you will ever skip that will be your down fall. It will be the slow accumulation of these things that will cause injuries and slow progress.
What do you think? Is the magic in the work that is done? Or the work that isn't...
