there must proabably be a thread like this somewhere but hey....
i was doing my run intervals this morning after 1/2 of procrastrination, and during the 'hard' parts i was counting the seconds by repeating the mandra: "i hate this - i hate this - i hate this" (i know i know, not the most motivational ...)
...so what are your pet hates when it comes to your training regime?
for me it has to be intervals, all of them: bike - swim - run -they remind me again and again how loooong seconds can become....
oh and lunges only because they take so long having to do them separately for each leg!

The anticipation, the power off the start, the speed, the noise, the adrenalin pumping, the pain exploding in your legs, you feel like you can't breath, hold on, hold on, hold on and DONE... gasping for air, your lungs are on fire, your heart is about to jump out of your chest, you feel like you are going to be sick, you can't see strait then 5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second... Repeat.
in fact... I feel some swimming sprints coming on this evening perhaps!
Turbo training... man I hate that s###!
I love all the eyeballs out stuff though. Hill repeats are a favourite.
you can take the boy out of suffolk, but you can't take suffolk out the boy.
My pet hate? Erm dont have one (am I sad or deluded?) just love this sport. Give me time and I'll find one
I love cycling and always have done. Running I enjoy.
BUT anything in a gym/indoors bores the crap out of me so I will do anything to get out in the fresh air.
I don't really call my swimming "training", rather it's "practicing". Even then, it isn't really the swimming that I hate but the gulf between what I want to be able to do, and what I am capable of. "I will be able to swim I will be able to swim".. gets in water "Oh.. I can't swim I can't swim". Get out thoroughly demoralised.
I quite like the pain.. mainly because you feel so good after you've finished.
