Value of a training partner

Thanks to Will for getting me to the gym today. I probably would have gone anyway, but there is something about having a partner for the session. It almost feels like today did not count mentally, but I got the physical benefit.

Training solo exclusively is tough mentally. Training exclusively with partners may not be optimal as well. But get in a good mix of solo sessions and group sessions and you can maximize your mental and physical growth.

I will train again tomorrow, and probably solo, but today felt like a mental off day but I know I put in some good work.

Find an occasional partner. It will help your training, especially when you don't get the weekly races like we do mid-season
