As a pro musician, since my childhood, I had to get used to the fact, that even practising WELL for 4-5 hours a day, during something like 3-4 weeks….the progress ist still small, almost not noticeable for listeners…..but you have no choice….you have to continue working just not to loose what you have achieved until today.

This was incredibly helpful. I relate 100%. I don't know why it's hard for me to commit to an identity and easier to think of myself as "someone who can run if he wants to," rather than simply as a runner. The latter really has transformative power, I think. Thanks.

Great Video Mark, I fully agree. 10 years ago with the age of 32 I was fed up with my young age habits like smoking, drinking, almost no workout. You realize that your body doesn't forgive anymore. Without specific goal I changed. Step by step reading about healthy diet and sport. Little habbit changes from week to week. After approx 3 years I became fit as a new lifestyle. Almost nothing can change that, cause that's what I am. Than came Spartan races, half marathon, 100km races to show myself how my life changed. and now Covid. But If your habbit is being fit, you are always ready for a challenge, but not that disappointed if an event is canceled. No 100k event taking place, then I go alone. Just do it cause I can.

Great perspective. My goal is indeed the creation of a habit: avoiding chocolate chip cookies routinely. Using the treadmill at my sports club ROUTINELY. The pleasure comes in manipulating the volume (duration) and intensity (speed) of the treadmill running or the duration of the cookie-avoiding. Seeing those runs rack up week after week. Knowing I haven't bought a box of cookies for OVER A YEAR. Those are my moments of victory and they have "habit" written all over them.

You've just set me a goal. I have to read a bloody book now. 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for talking about this Mark, goals seem to frustrate me but just concentrating on the things you need to do to get to who you want to be is self fulfilling. I usually start a training session with 'Just go and do something it's better than nothing' to get me off the couch and stop procrastinating, then when I get started I can go on to do one of the best efforts I've done in ages. Sometimes not. But.............I've got into the habit of getting off my arse. To the point that if I don't do something for a day I get restless and ache all over. Having said that, I don't overtrain because some days I'll just bimble along to get the legs spinning. My new habit is moving. I read were are designed to do that over many thousands of years of needing to just to survive. This new habit of sitting about is not doing any of us any good at all.

I actually read this book when you mentioned it in another video. It’s a fantastic read and one that really resonated me. It was good to see that I was doing stuff, like habit stacking, without knowing there was a name for it. Also I was guilty in a few areas, that I have put a plan in place to change. What you said about identity is really on the mark. James gave a great example for someone who was looking to stop smoking: one person said “I’m tying to give up”, whilst the other said “I’m a non smoker”, it was their identity. Great to find this video, I’m going to watch part II now 😎🙌

Interesting topic and I’ve been thinking about this lately from a similar angle though different terminology about relying on discipline vs willpower. In that discipline is your routine and your structure and your overall strategic commitment that you set up and adhere to via habit, whereas willpower is a more acute tactical resource you can draw down on in limited amounts when needed but which is expensive cognitively. So discipline is what gets you out of the door at 6am and kitted up for a run and doesn’t require willpower, it’s just “what you do” and you save up your willpower reserve as something to call on to push through to the end of a tough interval for example. The point on identity I feel can be a double edged sword - it’s great to feel like part of a community and that running or cycling or whatever is part of your identity (it’s why people buy T-shirt’s and mugs and other bits with reference to their sport, promoting their identity as being part of that community) but it can be dangerous I think to build too much of your identity on that or at least not to ensure that you have a broad, multi-faceted identity. In case thst sounds too abstract what I mean is that for example professional sportspeople can face an identity crisis of sorts and mental health struggles if they are laid up with injury etc - they literally can’t “be” the thing they identify as. All getting a bit philosophical but I do find this fascinating, keep up the great (varied) content, I love it 🙌

@@MarkLewisfitness exactly! I think there’s also some really interesting conflicts brought about by our “external identity” or how we market ourselves to others, especially on social media platforms. We love to post big rides to Strava or maximum power numbers to Instagram but it’s harder to market the less sexy activities like rest days or sensible cooldowns after workouts, and harder to capture aspects like opting for proper form over higher power - so there’s actually a pressure to select against these even though they are highly beneficial for our training. I’m well off-topic now though - looking forward to part 2 of your video!

I see this all the time with people trying to lose weight. They get on a diet with the goal to lose a stone. They do it. 3 months later they are back at the same weight planning another diet. This time they buy a running machine and do that whilst they diet...same thing happens. They don't change their way of life. You don't give up doughnuts for a few weeks, you make yourself eat better, you don't run for a few weeks, you make yourself a runner. The weight loss will just happen all on its own.

Fell marathon? Okay. Iron man? Yer fine. 110k Ultra in June? Best start training... The goals will always develop, so you may as well focus on the vessel doing them.

That's interesting. I cycle, mainly at weekends, with fitness in mind, but not necessarily a fitness goal, I just ride the bike knowing that it contributes to improving my fitness. I might intensify that cycling to achieve a goal, ie I could do with losing a stone, but will cycle on regardless if I achieve the goal.

I actually enjoyed lockdown. I was lucky to have bought some gym equipment the previous Christmas. The free time I gained (by all my activities being curtailed) combined with all unhealthy food temptations being removed (by all my outside activities being curtailed) meant that I could concentrate on training and eating healthily. Nett result was I lost 2.5 stone easily. I was totally locked in to eating healthily and training for a charity bike event. Then I got Covid at the same time as society started opening up again. I couldn't train and the temptations reappeared. I've put a stone back on. I've managed to limit it to a stone but I cannot seem to lose it again. I also can't seem to get my training discipline back. Today was a perfect example. I had a healthy breakfast and then headed in to London for a work meeting. After the meeting, I realised that I was near a restaurant that I like, so I headed over and had a Philly Cheese steak. My head tells me that it's a one off, but tomorrow, the same thing might well happen again. To quote Oscar Wilde, I can resist everything except temptation. I don't binge eat, I just repeatedly fall off the healthy food wagon. It's quite demoralising. However, I weight trained last night and am just about to get on my turbo trainer. The point about goals is really interesting, as without a goal I struggle for motivation. Therefore, if I want to maintain my fitness, I will need to change my mindset. I find your videos really helpful and encouraging.

In exercise physiology study they refer to habits as "process goals" Same idea. If you have a performance goal like run a 10km run event in under 50 mins. The process goal might be run 4 x per week. Then you might set shorter term goals like increasing weekly kms by 10% each week up to say 40km. Increasing the speed of your short runs etc I feel like most habits are inspired by goals but perhaps not everyone sets longer term goals like you want to be independent well into old age. I like the idea of fixating on the type of person you want to be.

Strange to realize now that I am not very goal oriented but rather an animal of habits and I do things because I love them. When I started running I did it to get out and have some alone time and the half marathon / marathon were just a side product of it. But even during the training for both of them it was the training plan that motivated me and not the goal. After the marathon I did not have the post race blues as I only wanted to go back running. Even now that I train for my 2nd marathon I am not looking forward to the race but the next long run.

Before the pandemic I could go and punch out a 10k with no sweat - even broke sub 50min before everything shut down. Now I run about as much as Jen did before her Hirox training, and it shows, I can scrape out a 5k in under 30, but not without a couple of walking breaks. I guess I should watch the second video (and maybe think about signing up for races again)

I’m going to download the book. I have been using “The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People” by the late great Stephen Covey along with Franklin Covey Day Planners for over thirty years. I also use techniques and principles from “Breaking The Habit of Being Yourself” by Dr. Jo Dispenza I love the last book Anthony Robbins released “Unshakable”. I am currently I’m studying the “The Miracle Power of Your Mind” series by the late great Joseph Murphy and I am considering enrolling in a personality course by Dr. Jordan Peterson. I do all of this not only for myself but also for my patients. The more techniques I learn it seems the more I can use one or another to help a person with a specific tendency that is significantly affecting their health. I think it’s time for both of us to write a book or several books because part of who we are is our empathy and ability to communicate healing with passion. I’ve certainly been enjoying your journey so well documented on KZbin. Thanks for the heads up. Can’t wait to put on the headphones, jump on the trainer and extract what’s useful from this book that has made a paradigm shift for you. Peace and Blessing!

During covid my training was even worse than ever, until October last year when I entered another marathon. Sat here now after 5 months of the best running of my life looking for another goal as the marathon was 4 days ago.

Most of the time, my motivation is simply to improve my fitness and to stay out of the health care system. Looking forward to part-II. I'm also looking forward to your review of the Wahoo Headwind.

I go to a slimming club. It drives me mad that each week the leader asks those present how much they want to lose, weight wise, in the coming week. She never asks what they are going to do to achieve their weight loss. Months ago she stopped asking me since I always say that I'm focussing on the process not the goal. People there find that odd. I know that if I've followed the process I'll lose the weight. So far it's 102lbs since July 2021. I can utterly relate to the idea of "being" rather than doing. Even though I still need/want to lose a couple more stone I am no longer focussed on weight loss. I am focussed on being a runner, being a much healthier person, someone who does yoga, goes swimming - is fit, active and concerned about their diet in terms of health. I will continue to lose weight because I am living that life style, the life of a slim person. Few people I speak to understand what I'm talking about so it's fantastic to see here the thoughts I've had myself reflected back at me.

Just finished Atomic Habits. Where was this book when I was 17, right? Didn't see the book as standard "Self-Help" tome as much as common sense reminder that we shouldn't overthink ourselves. Just act! Clear, as a matter of fact, was quite clear! Readable in 2-3 sittings, which I appreciated, as was the recommendation from you. I really enjoy your channel's mix of running and fitness info, delivered alongside comedic monologue (you might want to take another run at stand-up when the COVID settles down). At 6-3, 215 and 68 years I can also appreciate the strides you have made since drawing a line in the sand at 300+ lbs, and taking on the Hobbits at their own game. Training for a 5k in South Florida at the moment. Shooting for "Better Than Average", of course (

Great vid. again Mark, Lots of visdom, common sense and humor🙂 I never struggled with plummiting motivation after events. Maybe because my goals in general wasn't about doing this or that, but to do as good as possible or to get better at this or that. The few times I had a fixed goal, I just set new goals when the ones I had was acheived. For me it sounds a bit daft to focus on one finite goal and "waste" a lot of fitness if you stop training when the goal is acheived.. I could be the daft one though🤪🤪🤪 Keep up the good work👍👍👍💪💪💪👍👍👍

@@MarkLewisfitness It makes total sense that one may focus so hard on a goal that the trip there and the time after the event gets strange and motivation zeroes after the event. It's a good point you and James makes.

Excelent! I would so much to know your opinion about the fact that I experienced, that the goal forces you sometimes to change your habits and maybe you would change your identity in the process?

Hello Mark, I have been EATING your Videos. Very Interesting! My indoor rowing workouts at 5am aren't boring at all! Been busy online for almost a year now. Investing, Blogging and Marketing, but sometimes it's a Grind and a hole in my Wallet. I love to workout, Fish, and just be Outdoors and what I do isn't really that. I need to find a way to make my little Girl and coming baby Proud! I wanted to start a channel on KZbin for ages, but it's always the what niche, how to start, and what the peep I'm thinking. ps I ordered the Wahoo Bickr because of you! My wife doesn't know it yet hahaha. Soon I will hit it hard, so I can climb hills here in Spain too! So difficult sometimes. Thanks again and I hope you are an amazing father because that's really the only thing that Counts! Keep It Up!!!

Goals matter! There is a clear difference between running a 5K and participating in a marathon. The goal determines your training. To be "a runner" does not help you at all.
