DEFINITION OF DEVOTION:
2 HOURS ON THE TREADMILL, BABY: STUDENT LUDGATE TRAINING FOR a 1/2 MARATHON IN OCTOBER

Longtime WF Online Student Alan Ludgate with son Lucas, himself, an aspiring athlete warrior of the heart!
Read this one and be INSPIRED:

“Coach-
I trust that you and Joy had a Blessed trip. Welcome h(om)e. In response to your attached question, the final 1/2 marathon of the year is on Sunday, October 16th.

New cycle is off to a rousing start. I fought back the dragons yesterday and got up at 4:30, blasting through my WF Early Morning Practice + HP Prop Yoga + Ilg Supreme prior to my taxi coming at 7:15 to take me to the airport. Pretty sweet to have all that sweat in the bank before most people are out of bed! Today’s mantra was “blue collar work ethic” as I ground through a 2 hour run on the hotel treadmill. My fingers were wanting to reach out and reduce the pace and / or incline, but I fought off the ego mind by remembering your homage to Agassi: “do what champions do and strap on the blue collar work ethic”. I am recognizing the trusim of your oft-repeated words: “train like an endurance athlete and you’ll be too tired to cause trouble”. With that, I will sign off and go to bed!

Namaste-
Student L”

INPUT ON Coach’s newest full-body advanced workout; The Amitabha Workout

Coach cranking through his unique, “Padma-situps,” a classic example of his East + West expertise in expression! His latest full body workout, the Amitabha Workout, is causing huge shifts again in his Online Students like Student Eric Stiller of NYC says below:

“WOW is what I say to Amitabha. Major Chi producer!
As the Kyati I cycle continued and intersected with a fairly ballistic kayak program it made the next Amithabha sessions more intense. It was mentioned in a Direct Line that Amithabha is much more intense than EEE-Gad.. Yes , I believe this is true. The first Kapalabhati round after the first Medicine Buddha Ball Tri Set really feels like a Chuck Yeager test flight as oxygen pumps into the whole body. I did learn to expel more breath and hang in there for the held breath. Wow.
– student stillness of coach ilg clan

{Coach’s Note; The Gruelling and Graceful new, “Amitabha Workout” is available only for WF Online Students due to her high demand of knowledge in yogic breathing, mental tenacity, sustained concentration, and balance movements superimposed with strength training.

Go(o)d Morning Coach,
At the exact moment my world needed a chi hit I came upon your amazing DL entry of 9/20 and the quote “Everything that happens is meant to help move you into your Higher Self.” My head knows that is true. It is a miracle when one feels your words in her soul. Amazing grace.

With quiet gratitude,
Patricia

REGARDING DL; 9*24*05; Blocked DB Rows

Bro,
We learn much from our animal brethren.
My rows encompasses all you have shared on DL with this one enrichment: in watching first my sled dogs and then other creatures run, including primates, and how they use their back musculature it occurred to me that in nature those muscles, such as engaged in a row, do not normally go in a straight vertical up and down motion. They rotate kind like the arm on a steam locomotive wheel…the arm/leg comes down slightly forward and then moves back up to the rear. When I mimic this running motion in my rows, the change is fantastic. The muscle flows with a motion that it seems to yearn for and the training effect is greatly enhanced.

love from the iron temple,
haku
