Athletes should try to find a pace on their runs that allow them to start working at their dumbbells once they return.

Mindset

“Well done is better than well said.” - Benjamin Franklin

Talk is cheap.
Anyone can talk.
Only the few choose to DO.There will be a point today where we will feel compelled to express our thoughts to someone. Maybe it’s how something could be done better.Press pause at that moment.

“Ductus Exemplo” is a Latin phrase that translates to: “Lead by Example”.
Actions will always speak louder than any words.
