“It is work to maintain discipline. That’s what it is: Work. Holding the line. Maintaining the standard.

Giving no slack. None. That’s the discipline. That’s the discipline—and it is hard.“

QUESTION: Coach–I’ve been feeling stuck in my workouts for the last couple of months and I haven’t broken any personal bests. I don’t think I’m overtraining but maybe I am. I also feel like I’m hungry all the time. How can I get back on track?
