Through triathlon and running, we\u2019ve come to realize something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all want to feel comfortable, yet training constantly places us in uncomfortable spaces \u2014 when our breath gets heavy, our legs feel weighed down, and we feel like giving up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps that is exactly where we begin to grow stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rather than \u201cconquering\u201d discomfort, it\u2019s about learning to stay \u2014 not running away, but allowing ourselves to remain in that space. As those moments accumulate, we find that not only in training, but also in life, we\u2019re able to face discomfort with a little more calm than before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Growth doesn\u2019t seem to begin in comfort, but somewhere slightly beyond it \u2014 in places that feel challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, there\u2019s something just as important:
Pushing harder isn\u2019t always the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We try not to forget that proper rest is also part of training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To everyone quietly putting in the work in their own way today – Johnber Sports is cheering for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
