It's interesting how conditioning work changes targets and what you think is possible. 4 years ago I could only swim 40 metres although it looked more like one step away from drowning. Now swimming is one of my favourite activities although if you saw me swimming next to a good swimmer, you'd see there is still room for improvement - but I can now swim 3,800 metres. But it's all relative which is the same for cycling, running, triathlon or even success. It depends on where you are starting from so today's swim of 2,000 metres was fast and easy - almost can't believe I am making that statement!
So if you want to push the barriers, get out your comfort zone or make significant changes you need to set yourself some challenges that would be worth achieving. I've learned that setting challenges makes me stronger physically and mentally and this conditioning allows me to achieve more than I ever thought possible. Why not go for it yourself? It will open up a whole new world.
