Be motivated

Dear all,

Recently, I received feedback that some of the guys lack motivation to train. Here are some ways you can help yourself or your friends:

1) Find a training partner. Motivate each other.

2) Find a reason to train. (Eg. Be the best in the level or having the best 2.4km timing.)

3) Turn criticisms into motvation. (Sometimes, we must turn other people's criticisms into motivation and push ourselves.)

4) Be the best. As I have mentioned before. Running is the oldest sport in the world. Ball players do not respect runners but we must not lose respect for ourselves. Once we have the techniques in running, we can outplay any of their ball games but ball players can NEVER outrun us.

5) Remember that your coach is so dedicated in training you. So you cannot let him down ok?
