what is
0:01
discipline for me it's just about
0:03
ticking boxes having the things that you
0:05
know you need to do to get the best
0:06
results possible and just making sure
0:08
you do them regardless of how you
0:12
feel it's easy to do things when you're
0:14
up for it and motivated for it and I
0:16
think the discipline comes into it when
0:17
you still need to do those things when
0:19
you're not quite feeling the best
0:29
if something starts out as a passion and
0:31
then you lose that passion for it it
0:33
could just completely derail so for me
0:36
even though running was a passion when I
0:39
was younger a lot of the times I didn't
0:41
do the things I needed to because I
0:42
didn't have the discipline there i've
0:44
kind of evolved a lot in the sport and
0:46
the process has come a lot more
0:47
streamlined and it's almost a lot more
0:49
effective than just being passionate
0:50
about it because if I'm not disciplined
0:52
with it then I don't do the things I
0:54
need to do
0:57
everything I do in my training has got a
0:59
very particular thought process behind
1:01
it for me it's looking at as objectively
1:03
as possible how can I improve my fitness
1:05
how can I improve with my speed what are
1:07
any other weaknesses I can work on
1:08
because when you've been running for as
1:10
long as I have it's quite hard to just
1:12
find quick and easy gains so it's just
1:14
really just dialing in on improving the
1:17
little things and then just keeping that
1:19
consistent so avoiding injury avoiding
1:21
illness it's nothing doing anything
1:22
fancy it's just staying consistent and
1:25
getting through and just trying to
1:26
progress each
1:31
year to for your body to work properly
1:33
you need to be hydrated so if I haven't
1:36
got the right amount of electrolytes in
1:37
if I haven't got the right amount of
1:38
water in my body then I'm not going to
1:40
perform the way I need to ideally 2028
1:42
I'll be trying to race in the marathon
1:45
it's a natural step up in distance it's
1:46
a natural step up in training and it's
1:49
just really the next step for me as an
1:51
athlete now it's like how do I step up
1:54
again to try and go from the elite level
1:57
to then being almost world class to make
1:59
the
1:59
Olympics nutrition is fundamental for
2:03
recovery and fitness like without it
2:05
there's no way I'd possibly be able to
2:07
fuel my
2:10
training i've always chased results in
2:12
the past and that puts so much pressure
2:14
on you if that result doesn't go well
2:16
it's hard to carry on being motivated so
2:20
for me it's like even if a race doesn't
2:22
go well I know the training I've put in
2:24
for that race has made me a fitter
2:25
athlete so just trying to move that
2:27
needle and carry on and improving is
2:29
definitely my biggest motivator just to
2:30
be able to look back on myself from a
2:32
year ago and say I'm a faster athlete
2:34
I'm a stronger athlete i'm probably
2:36
tactically better just everything as
2:37
long as I'm moving that along it's not
2:39
just relying on motivation it's just
2:41
making sure ticking the box of you've
2:43
got to do that so you're just going to
2:44
do it regardless
