WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>When you're mine. This is this whole forty percent rule that.

2
00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:06.040
<v Speaker 2>I talk about all the time that I made up

3
00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:08.480
<v Speaker 2>a long time ago. I started making it up through pain.

4
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:13.199
<v Speaker 2>So basically forty percent rule is I am a strong

5
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:15.800
<v Speaker 2>believer that we quit because why how the two or

6
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:19.719
<v Speaker 2>ninety seven pounds cockroach guy who quit on everything is

7
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:21.839
<v Speaker 2>now considered one of the best man's the planet.

8
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:23.359
<v Speaker 1>How is that possible?

9
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:27.399
<v Speaker 3>It means I had to change one thing my mindset.

10
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:30.600
<v Speaker 3>So there's no way in hell that that was in

11
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:33.920
<v Speaker 3>But that was that guy was in me. One that

12
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:35.640
<v Speaker 3>God came down here and said, hey.

13
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:38.679
<v Speaker 2>Guess what, man, you're a fat ass, but I'm gonna

14
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:39.799
<v Speaker 2>now make your badass.

15
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:44.200
<v Speaker 1>I want a miracle to be a badass. No, it

16
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:45.399
<v Speaker 1>was in me.

17
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:49.159
<v Speaker 3>I had to believe to make that belief work, and

18
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:50.600
<v Speaker 3>through hard work, I did that.

19
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:54.039
<v Speaker 1>So the forty percent rules, like we have like a car.

20
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Some cars have a governor on it, and when you

21
00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:58.759
<v Speaker 2>get to like ninety two miles an hour, that cars

22
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:01.719
<v Speaker 2>start doing this because it can't faster those cars that

23
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:04.799
<v Speaker 2>don't have governors on like a fast ass whatever, purse whatever,

24
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:09.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm a burier gone. We have that ability is but

25
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:14.200
<v Speaker 2>we have put this governor on our minds, and you

26
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:16.920
<v Speaker 2>have to the factory that put the governor on that car.

27
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>The factory is now you that put this on your mind.

28
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>You got taped up off.

29
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Until you take it off, You're gonna constantly get to

30
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:28.319
<v Speaker 2>ninety two miles an hour and do this because you

31
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:29.120
<v Speaker 2>can go faster.

32
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:31.359
<v Speaker 1>In matter of fact, you might even go slower.

33
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:35.560
<v Speaker 2>So basically I started realizing this through my life.

34
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:36.959
<v Speaker 1>You're going through all these times.

35
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:39.879
<v Speaker 2>Our culture has become hooked on the quick fix, the

36
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.480
<v Speaker 2>life hack efficiency. Everyone is on the hunt for that

37
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:48.519
<v Speaker 2>simple action algorithm that nets maximum profit with the least

38
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.519
<v Speaker 2>amount of effort. There's no denying this attitude may get

39
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:54.319
<v Speaker 2>you some of the trappings of success if you're lucky,

40
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.480
<v Speaker 2>but it will not lead to a callous mind or

41
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:01.519
<v Speaker 2>self mastering. If you want to master the mind and

42
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:05.280
<v Speaker 2>remove your governor, you'll have to become addicted to hard work,

43
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:09.919
<v Speaker 2>because passion and obsession, even talent, are only useful tools

44
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:12.719
<v Speaker 2>if you have the work ethic to back them up.

45
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:17.080
<v Speaker 2>My work ethic is the single most important factor in

46
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:21.520
<v Speaker 2>all of my accomplishments. Everything else is secondary. And when

47
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.240
<v Speaker 2>it comes to hard work, whether in the gym or

48
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:29.000
<v Speaker 2>on the job. The forty rule applies to me. A

49
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:33.120
<v Speaker 2>forty hour work week is a forty percent effort. It

50
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:37.560
<v Speaker 2>may be satisfactory, but that's another word for mediocrity. Don't

51
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.879
<v Speaker 2>settle for a forty hour work week. There are one

52
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:43.680
<v Speaker 2>hundred and sixty eight hours in a week. That means

53
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:45.599
<v Speaker 2>you have the hours to put in that extra time

54
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:50.080
<v Speaker 2>at work without skipping on your exercise. It means streamlining

55
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.879
<v Speaker 2>your nutrition, spending quality time with your wife and kids.

56
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:57.759
<v Speaker 2>It means scheduling your life like you're on a twenty

57
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.919
<v Speaker 2>four hour mission every single day. The number one excuse

58
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.280
<v Speaker 2>I hear from people as to why they don't work

59
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:05.599
<v Speaker 2>out as much as.

60
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.319
<v Speaker 1>They want to is that they don't have time. Look,

61
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:10.159
<v Speaker 1>we all have work obligations.

62
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:12.919
<v Speaker 2>None of us want to lose sleep, and you'll need

63
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.360
<v Speaker 2>time with the family or they'll trip the out.

64
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:18.639
<v Speaker 1>I get it, and if that's your situation, you must win.

65
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:20.439
<v Speaker 1>The morning when.

66
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.800
<v Speaker 2>I was full time with the Seals, I maximized the

67
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.639
<v Speaker 2>dark hours before dawn, when my wife was sleeping.

68
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:31.599
<v Speaker 1>I would bang out a six to ten mile run.

69
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:35.240
<v Speaker 2>My gear was all laid out the night before, my

70
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:39.080
<v Speaker 2>lunch was packed, and my work clothes were in my

71
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:41.000
<v Speaker 2>locker at work, where I shower before my.

72
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Day started at seven thirty am. On a typical day,

73
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.000
<v Speaker 1>i'd be out the door for my run just after

74
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:48.879
<v Speaker 1>four am and.

75
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:52.439
<v Speaker 2>Back by five point fifteen am. Since that wasn't enough

76
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.240
<v Speaker 2>for me, and because we only owned one car, I

77
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:58.759
<v Speaker 2>rode my bike. I finally got my own twenty five

78
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.400
<v Speaker 2>miles to work. I'd work from seven to thirty am

79
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.800
<v Speaker 2>to noon and eat at my desk before or after

80
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.840
<v Speaker 2>my lunch break. During the lunch hour, i'd hit the

81
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:10.879
<v Speaker 2>gym or do a four to six mile beach run.

82
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:13.439
<v Speaker 2>Work the afternoon shift, and hop on my bike for

83
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>the twenty five mile ride home. By the time I

84
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.319
<v Speaker 2>was home at seven pm, i'd have run about fifteen miles,

85
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.800
<v Speaker 2>rock fifty miles on the bike, and put in a

86
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:24.519
<v Speaker 2>full day at the office. I was always home for

87
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.600
<v Speaker 2>dinner and in bed by ten pm, so I could

88
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.560
<v Speaker 2>do it all over again the next day. On Saturdays,

89
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.839
<v Speaker 2>i'd sleep in until seven am at a three hour

90
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.759
<v Speaker 2>workout and spend the rest of the weekend with Kate.

91
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:41.120
<v Speaker 2>If I didn't have a race, Sundays were my active

92
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:45.279
<v Speaker 2>recovery days, I'd do an easy ride at a low

93
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:49.040
<v Speaker 2>heart rate, keeping my pulse below one hundred and ten

94
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 2>beats per minute to stimulate healthy blood float. Maybe you

95
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:57.560
<v Speaker 2>think I'm a special case or an obsessive maniac. Fine,

96
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.759
<v Speaker 2>I won't argue with you. But what about my friend Mike.

97
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:02.560
<v Speaker 2>He's a big.

98
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Time financial advisor in New York City.

99
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.759
<v Speaker 2>His job is high pressure and his work day is

100
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:10.319
<v Speaker 2>a hell of a lot longer than eight hours. He

101
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.480
<v Speaker 2>has a wife and two kids, and he's an ultra runner.

102
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Here's how he does it. He wakes up at four

103
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.560
<v Speaker 2>am every weekday, runs sixty to ninety minutes each morning

104
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:23.680
<v Speaker 2>while his family is still snoozing, rides a bike to

105
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.199
<v Speaker 2>working back and does a quick thirty minute treadmill run

106
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:27.199
<v Speaker 2>after he gets home.

107
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:28.480
<v Speaker 1>He goes out for.

108
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Longer runs on weekends, but he minimizes its impact on

109
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:38.639
<v Speaker 2>his family obligation. He's high powered, wealthy as and could

110
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:42.319
<v Speaker 2>easily maintain his status quo with less effort and enjoy

111
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:45.079
<v Speaker 2>the sweet fruits of his labors. But he finds a

112
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:49.680
<v Speaker 2>way to stay hard because his labors are his sweetest fruits,

113
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.839
<v Speaker 2>and he makes time to get it all in by

114
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:57.120
<v Speaker 2>minimizing the amount of bullsh clogging his schedule, his priorities

115
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:00.800
<v Speaker 2>are clear, and he remains dedicated to his priorities.

116
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:03.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not talking about general priorities here either.

117
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Each hour of his week is dedicated to a particular task,

118
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.480
<v Speaker 2>and when that hour shows up in real time, he

119
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.879
<v Speaker 2>focuses one on that task. That's how I do it too,

120
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:19.279
<v Speaker 2>because that is the only way to minimize wasted hours.

121
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:24.199
<v Speaker 2>Evaluate your life and its totality. We al waste so

122
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:28.360
<v Speaker 2>much time doing meaningless. Both we burn hours on social

123
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:30.519
<v Speaker 2>media and watching television, which by the end of the

124
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.120
<v Speaker 2>year would add up to entire days and weeks. If

125
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.199
<v Speaker 2>you tabulated time like you do your taxes, you should

126
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.720
<v Speaker 2>because if you knew the truth, you deactivate your Facebook accounts,

127
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:43.040
<v Speaker 2>stat and cut your cable. When you find yourself having

128
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:47.040
<v Speaker 2>frivolous conversations or becoming ensnared in activities that don't better

129
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:50.680
<v Speaker 2>you in any way, move the gone. It's more important

130
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.120
<v Speaker 2>to own your weaknesses. You have to really triple down

131
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.160
<v Speaker 2>on those, man, because why you want to become a

132
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:01.439
<v Speaker 2>full human being, I to run away from weaknesses. Like

133
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:02.560
<v Speaker 2>for instance, if you're good.

134
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.199
<v Speaker 1>At running, all you want to do is run. If

135
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:06.399
<v Speaker 1>you're great at reading.

136
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:09.199
<v Speaker 2>You have several books, but we don't do those things

137
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:11.800
<v Speaker 2>that we're not good at. So for me, I realized,

138
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:13.839
<v Speaker 2>I keep on running away from these things I'm not

139
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:14.279
<v Speaker 2>good at.

140
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:16.680
<v Speaker 1>I have to dive into these things. I have to

141
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.120
<v Speaker 1>become one with these things. And that's what happened. And

142
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:22.040
<v Speaker 1>so I own them both and I talk very openly

143
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:25.079
<v Speaker 1>about them both. For years, I've lived like a monk.

144
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't see or spend time with a lot of people.

145
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:32.759
<v Speaker 2>My circle is very tight. I post on social media

146
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:36.000
<v Speaker 2>once or twice a week, and I never check anybody

147
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:38.600
<v Speaker 2>else's feeds because I don't follow anyone.

148
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:39.680
<v Speaker 1>That's just me.

149
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:42.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying you need to be that unforgiving because

150
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:45.120
<v Speaker 2>you and I probably don't share the same goals.

151
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:50.199
<v Speaker 1>But I know you have goals too, and room for improvement.

152
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:53.480
<v Speaker 1>And I guarantee that if you audited.

153
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Your schedule, you find time for more work and less bullshit.

154
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.959
<v Speaker 2>It's up to you to ways to eviscerate your bullet.

155
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:04.720
<v Speaker 2>How much time do you spend at the dinner table

156
00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:06.319
<v Speaker 2>talking about nothing after.

157
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:07.399
<v Speaker 1>The meal is done.

158
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:09.519
<v Speaker 2>How many calls and text do you send for no

159
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:12.279
<v Speaker 2>reason at all? Look at your whole life, list your

160
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:13.680
<v Speaker 2>obligations and tasks.

161
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Put a time stamp on you.

162
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:18.879
<v Speaker 2>How many hours are required to shop, eat, and clean?

163
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.199
<v Speaker 2>What's your commute like? Can you make it there under

164
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.839
<v Speaker 2>your own power? Block everything into windows of time, and

165
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:30.759
<v Speaker 2>once your day is scheduled out, you'll know how much

166
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:35.799
<v Speaker 2>flexibility you have to exercise on a given day and

167
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:38.919
<v Speaker 2>how to maximize it. Perhaps you aren't looking to get fit,

168
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.200
<v Speaker 2>but have been dreaming of starting a business of your own,

169
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.879
<v Speaker 2>or have always wanted to learn a language or an

170
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:47.440
<v Speaker 2>instrument you're obsessed with.

171
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Find the same rule applies.

172
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.919
<v Speaker 2>Analyze your schedule, kill your empty habits, burn out the bullet,

173
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:56.320
<v Speaker 2>and see what's left.

174
00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Is it one hour per day? Three? Now maximize that.

175
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:05.399
<v Speaker 2>That means listing your prioritized task every hour of the day.

176
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.519
<v Speaker 2>You can even narrow it down to fifteen minute windows.

177
00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:13.279
<v Speaker 2>And don't forget to include backstops in your day to

178
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:17.519
<v Speaker 2>day schedule. Remember how I forgot to include backstops in

179
00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:22.200
<v Speaker 2>my race plan at Ultraman. You need backstops in your

180
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:23.720
<v Speaker 2>day to day schedule.

181
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:28.879
<v Speaker 1>Two. If one task bleeds into overtime, make sure you know.

182
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:33.960
<v Speaker 2>It and begin to transition into your next prioritized tasks

183
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:39.320
<v Speaker 2>straight away. Use your smartphone for productivity hacks, not click bait.

184
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.679
<v Speaker 1>Turn on your calendar alerts, have those alarms set.

185
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:47.799
<v Speaker 2>If you audit your life, skip the bok and use backstops.

186
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:50.840
<v Speaker 2>You'll find time to do everything you need and want

187
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:55.279
<v Speaker 2>to do. But remember that you also need rest, so

188
00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:59.200
<v Speaker 2>schedule that in. Listen to your body, Sneak in those

189
00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:02.679
<v Speaker 2>ten to twenty men power naps when necessary, and take

190
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:06.639
<v Speaker 2>one full rest day per week. If it's a rest day,

191
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.679
<v Speaker 2>truly allow your mind and body to relax, turn your

192
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:15.200
<v Speaker 2>phone off, keep the computer shut down. A rest day

193
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:19.600
<v Speaker 2>means you should be relaxed, hanging with friends or family,

194
00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:23.000
<v Speaker 2>and eating and drinking well so you can recharge and

195
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:25.279
<v Speaker 2>get back at it. It's not a day to lose

196
00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:27.679
<v Speaker 2>yourself in technology or stay hunched at your desk in

197
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:31.320
<v Speaker 2>the form of a damn question mark. The whole point

198
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:34.320
<v Speaker 2>of the twenty four hour mission is to keep up

199
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:38.039
<v Speaker 2>a championship pace, not for a season or a year,

200
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:42.600
<v Speaker 2>but for your entire life. That requires quality rest and

201
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:46.960
<v Speaker 2>recovery time. Because there is no finish line, there is

202
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:50.279
<v Speaker 2>always more to learn, and you will always have weaknesses

203
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:52.799
<v Speaker 2>to strengthen. If you want to become as hard as woodpecker,

204
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:57.720
<v Speaker 2>lips hard enough to hammer countless miles and finish that

205
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.279
<v Speaker 2>strong would you say you've built It's so much like

206
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.440
<v Speaker 2>sadistic quality where you almost enjoy the pint.

207
00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:10.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't enjoy it. It's necessary, Yeah, it's necessary. So

208
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:11.919
<v Speaker 1>every morning I wake up.

209
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:14.960
<v Speaker 2>It's not just about working out, But for me, working

210
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:17.480
<v Speaker 2>out has been a very big part of my mental growth.

211
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:21.879
<v Speaker 2>So for me, if I am not challenging myself every day,

212
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:24.399
<v Speaker 2>and that's where to God, people will not believe it.

213
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:29.039
<v Speaker 1>I was over almost three hundred pounds twice in my life.

214
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:32.480
<v Speaker 1>A person that does that twice in his life does

215
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:34.799
<v Speaker 1>not enjoy cardiovascular take.

216
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So people can put anything they want to in

217
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:42.360
<v Speaker 2>their head. I did realize one thing. The things I

218
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:46.759
<v Speaker 2>don't enjoy that I still do. That's where growth is at.

219
00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:51.120
<v Speaker 2>And that's for me. The only place growth is at

220
00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:55.639
<v Speaker 2>is in that very uncomfortable you know, in that uncomfortable zone,

221
00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:58.480
<v Speaker 2>so I have to visit it every single day. The

222
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.799
<v Speaker 2>main objective here is to slowly start to remove the

223
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.720
<v Speaker 2>governor from your brains. First, a quick reminder of how

224
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:10.320
<v Speaker 2>this process works. In nineteen ninety nine, when I weighed

225
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:12.080
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and ninety seven pounds.

226
00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:15.639
<v Speaker 1>My first run was a quarter mile. Fast forward to

227
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:16.639
<v Speaker 1>two thousand.

228
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:19.080
<v Speaker 2>And seven, I ran two hundred five miles and thirty

229
00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:22.919
<v Speaker 2>nine hours non stop. I didn't get there overnight, and

230
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't expect you to either. Your job is to

231
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:30.000
<v Speaker 2>push past your normal stopping point, whether you are running

232
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:32.960
<v Speaker 2>on a treadmill or doing a set of push ups.

233
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:36.039
<v Speaker 2>Get to the point where you are so tired and

234
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.240
<v Speaker 2>in pain that your mind.

235
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:41.519
<v Speaker 1>Is begging you to stop. Then push just five to

236
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:42.519
<v Speaker 1>ten percent further.

237
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:45.559
<v Speaker 2>If the most push ups you have ever done is

238
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.279
<v Speaker 2>one hundred in a workout, do one hundred and five

239
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:51.320
<v Speaker 2>or one hundred and ten. If you normally run thirty

240
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:53.200
<v Speaker 2>miles each week, run ten.

241
00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Percent more next week.

242
00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:59.879
<v Speaker 2>This gradual ramp up will help prevent injury and allow

243
00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:02.320
<v Speaker 2>you your body and mind to slowly adapt.

244
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:03.039
<v Speaker 1>To your new workload.

245
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:07.960
<v Speaker 2>It also resets your baseline, which is important because you're

246
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:11.600
<v Speaker 2>about to increase your workload another five to ten percent

247
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:15.399
<v Speaker 2>the following week and the week after that. There is

248
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:20.879
<v Speaker 2>so much pain and suffering involved in physical challenges that

249
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.159
<v Speaker 2>it is the best training to take command of your

250
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:26.679
<v Speaker 2>inner dialogue and the new found mental strength and confidence

251
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:31.120
<v Speaker 2>you gain by continuing to push yourself physically will carry

252
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:35.399
<v Speaker 2>over to other aspects in your life. You will realize

253
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.519
<v Speaker 2>that if you were underperforming in your physical challenges, there

254
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.600
<v Speaker 2>is a good chance you are underperforming at school.

255
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:44.240
<v Speaker 1>And work too.

256
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:49.279
<v Speaker 2>The bottom line is that life is one big mind game.

257
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.600
<v Speaker 2>The only person you are playing against is yourself. Stick

258
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:58.200
<v Speaker 2>with this process, and soon what you thought was impossible

259
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.559
<v Speaker 2>will be something you do every day of your life.
