Putting play back in workouts

The perfect run. You’re sprinting along the beach on a crystal-clear morning without one worry. Top speed and it doesn’t hurt.

The perfect run is rare. Most workouts are crammed with small grumbles that tickle the back of your mind.

• the pedometer that shaves a tenth off your distances
• the dicey character giving you the eye
• the one-layer-too-many sweatshirt weighing you down
• and many more

Each annoyance piles up to distract you from a great workout. Imagine your performance when your mind is clear of irritation.
