That’s a great one to be grateful for. Real growth comes from usable feedback—especially when it helps you simplify without losing intent. Programming for chaotic schedules is where coaching skill really shows, and insights like that sharpen your judgment fast. Solid gratitude.

Absolutely—here’s a grounded, aligned response you can post or send: Powerful reminder indeed. Neutrality is freedom. When I’m no longer inflated by praise, I’m no longer deflated by its absence. My worth isn’t increased by approval or reduced by silence—it simply is. By staying neutral to external validation, I keep my center. I move with clarity, not craving. I act from conviction, not reaction. That’s real strength.

Elite i appreciate you

Great work Week-to-week drop in both max HR (176 → 162) and average HR (146 → 136) at the same wattages is a clear sign your aerobic efficiency is improving. You’re producing the same power with less cardiovascular cost—that’s exactly what you want in a hybrid S&C phase. MAP work like this isn’t flashy, but it compounds fast. Staying disciplined through Week 2 sets you up perfectly for a clean Week 3 MAP retest. Bumping to 8 rounds will expose the new ceiling and give you a more accurate anchor for the next block. Stay patient, stay consistent—this is real progress, not noise.

The time is now💪🏼 lets go
