What's the point of it?

Don't panic - I'm not losing the faith. Just read an interesting article in 'The Coach' magazine. It was basically saying that its every athletes right to ask, and every coaches responsibility to articulate, exactly what each session is for. If you don't know what a session is going to give you then why are you doing it?

Every session, ask the question, 'what is this work out doing for my body?'. If you can't answer that (coach or athlete) then you've got a problem. Training is all about doing the right things at the right time, so what might be the perfect session one day can be junk the next. Don't just train because you think you have to, junk miles just wear your shoes out.
Think quality, quality, quality - all the time.

In future I'll try to remember to blog why I did a session and what benefit it was meant to give me.
Please comment if I haven't.
