The Worst Two Words in the English Language

Yes But.... 

I hear these two words spoken daily and they have no business being together. The first part of this combination is easy Yes or No. Either you agree with something or you don't. It's ok to say I don't agree with that, I would do this. But it's Yes or No. The second part of the statement doesn't belong. Here's how it plays out. 

In business - Yes But we don't have the resources, Yest But we don't have the time, Yes But our system won't allow it. Yes But we thought we didn't need it etc. 

In daily life - Yes But houses are just so much more expensive then they were, Yes But I got distracted, Yes But I had other things to do etc.

In racing - Yes But I got a cramp, Yes But those guys were drafting, Yes But I lost the first pack etc. 

I urge you to remove it from you vocabulary and either answer No or answer Yes And. 

Do you plan to buy a house - Yes And to do it we are going to cut back in these three areas. 

Can we add that to the website - Yes And we will need to figure out a workaround in the warehouse. 

Did you have a good race - Yes and I learned that if I lose the first back I have to work harder to chase. 

It's a good life....

Mobility 2.0 The Hamstring

I was searching for this video and came to a realization. If you go to Youtube and look for stretching videos for runners you will find a great number of videos all with a small amount of viewership. For instance the video on the link below has something like 3,900 views. Yet if I search for Cross Fit Videos on Mobility or doing a Squat you'll find videos with 60,000 views and more. What this tells me is that runners and triathletes simply don't do the little things enough. They don't stretch, they don't mobilize they simply train. And then they get injured. Again 79% of all runners will get injured this year. You can choose to be in the majority or you can pay attention to these blog posts and find out that you don't have to get injured.

If you have tight hamstrings or tight hips this video is the best I've found. I use a Yoga band instead of a rope. I think I bought it at Dick's Sporting Goods but I'm sure you can find it on Amazon too. But first listen and watch the video. It works!

Active Isolated Flexibility.
