One other note about getting up at 5am. If you have the right attitude, it’ll make gettnig up easier.
Every morning I pop out of bed knowing I’m on the journey to my next Ironman. I know that every workout I put in adds fuel to the tank and trains my body and I love the training so much that it makes me want to get up immediately and get to the workout.
It is with this energy that I wake every morning, and gives me the impetus to leap out of bed when it’s only 5am and dark outside.
On the flip side, having a poor attitude only makes it worse. Dreading every morning to get up and get to your workout will guarantee you will never ever get up easily at 5am.
