What puts our mind and body in a groove? Today we explore our own recent experiences with finding the zone. We look at the challenges of holding back. The goal of simply feeling good and how that seems to take care of the rest. The challenges of replacing bad habits with good ones and the easiest way to do it. We look at finding daily wins, beating short term cravings, and getting rid of forced expectations.   Don't forget to check out the C26 Club Program. We lay out your entire year for only $349.  Today's Topics: Ups and downs of training How does it click?
