I had a great session this morning.
I woke up excited about going to the gym.
That’s huge.
For so long, it felt like a chore—something I had to force myself to do. But today, I actually wanted to go. That tells me my mindset is shifting, and real progress is being made.
Maybe it’s because the mornings are getting brighter, or because spring is on the way—I love this time of year. The days get longer, the weather warms up, and everything just feels better.
Training with Flexibility
At the gym, I asked ChatGPT, “I’m here—what shall I do?”
It gave me two session options:
✅ Endurance-focused workout
✅ Power & speed-focused workout
But I was feeling it a bit in my legs from yesterday’s session—some heavy leg presses and rowing had left them a bit heavy.
So, I told ChatGPT how I felt. And instead of pushing through a rigid plan, we pivoted.
The Plan for Today
🚣 10-minute row at a steady 2:05/500m pace
🚣 5 x 500m at 1:55–2:00/500m, focusing on form & control
🚣 5-minute cooldown
Simple. Effective. Adaptable.
Pushing the Last Set
I followed the plan—except for the last 500m.
I pushed harder and finished it in 1:42.
That felt good.
Key Takeaway: Adaptability is Key
Today showed me that training doesn’t have to be rigid.
Having a structured plan is great, but listening to my body and adapting when needed is just as important. That’s how real progress happens.
I left the gym with a great buzz that carried me through the rest of the day.
