Workout Rule #3
Performance-based goals are deciding to run a race with a time goal, wanting to swim a mile, beat your time when you hike a specific trail, hit a PR in a dead-lift or do a pull up. When you set a performance-based goal you are taking away any decision about whether or not you want …
