Timing

I love to body surf that is what made think of timing. During the summer when there were storms off Baja California and the surf was up we would spend hours body surfing. When you caught the wave just right it was a great ride. You could ride those big ones right into the beach. If you were late getting into the wave sometimes the wave just passed under you and occasionally you got dumped. If you were too early, that was disaster, you got caught in the wave and it was like being inside a washing machine. Then there were days were everything clicked, every wave was perfect and your timing was right on. Timing is everything – how many times have you heard that one. In training nothing could be truer. Sometimes it is not necessarily what you do, but when you do it. The correct workout or exercise done at the wrong time can spell disaster for a training program. It is about why you are doing what you are doing it when you are doing it. Next time you are think about workout design picture yourself in the water catching a wave. Time it so that you ride that wave to the beach.
