Building Momentum | Building a Life Worth Living with Rory Buck
It takes courage to rest when you know how to work.
And for a few years I’ve lacked that courage.
But in December 2022, I enjoyed a proper off season after 70.3 Tiberias. Without being forced into one.
I knew how valuable it would be. But it still took a lot of courage.
Because I hate losing fitness.
Equally, I don’t enjoy rebuilding momentum or routines after the time off.
Learning to rest is critical to my long term success as an athlete. It’s critical to anything that you want longevity & success in.
But as I learn to rest, I have to learn to rebuild momentum, in equal measure.
Rebuilding momentum is a necessary & complementary skill to resting.
The more strategic rest periods I build in, the more often I’ll have to build momentum when I come back again.
The better I get at building momentum, the less I will fear resting. And the more comfortable I will be leaning into strategic breaks from work & training.
The skills of rest and momentum complement each other.
Develop both in equal measure.
