After yesterday’s intervals, my muscles aren’t sore. That’s… suspicious. Maybe I didn’t push hard enough.
Next time, I’ll go harder — because honestly, I don’t believe in the “no pain, no gain“ is outdated mindset. Not entirely.
You can progress in training without soreness — especially if you’re consistent. If you follow your plan and don’t feel sore the next day, that’s totally fine.
It’s not about punishing yourself. It’s about pushing yourself. Growth comes from stress, from effort, from stepping out of your comfort zone.
Yesterday I had planned an interval session — and I wanted to push my limits.
I probably didn’t go hard enough.
So next time, yes — I’ll gladly take two days of sore legs and awkward stair-climbing… if it means I’m getting stronger.
