Here is an amazing insight from one of our long term clients at Bronte. He was saying that having trained all year round for the last 10 years, his hardest time of year wasn't winter, it was NOW. That was a surprise, because we are in summer still. Brian explained that it is that exact shock that makes it hard. Mentally we are in summer, it should be light when we wake up, it should be sunny and dry and warm at sessions. The reality is that it is dark still at 5:30am when the alarm goes off and we are getting a real mixed bag of wet, windy weather. So we can feel somewhat cheated.
