The title is a non-sequitur in relation to today’s rowing session. According to the above quotation attributed to Einstein, you are a genius. Feel good about yourself, in that respect.
Today’s rowing training session was 10K which included a couple of 1K intervals which I did in a gentle fashion. The first 1K interval was done at the most gentle pace and the second 1K was done slightly faster. I followed the instructions in the training details and “relaxed and let it happen” while watching what passed for news on TV.
But… now that I think about it more, I guess I didn’t follow the guidance in the details as well as I could, because I didn’t work hard enough to develop any additional strength or endurance. Hmm… How do you “relax” and work hard enough to push like that?
So I guess I did relax but did not develop any additional strength or endurance. C’est la vie.
Happy trails to you.
