Good advice for us “ youngsters” 😂
Some days you feel like crushing a 100K ride. Other days, getting out for 20 minutes feels like a win. And that’s okay.
Eddy Merckx, one of the greatest cyclists of all time, said it best: “Ride as much or as little, as long or as short as you feel. But ride.”
This quote isn't just for cyclists. It’s a mindset every runner, every athlete, and honestly, every human should carry.
Perfectionism kills progress.
Waiting for the “perfect time” or “ideal energy” or “the right gear” often leaves us doing nothing at all.
But momentum doesn’t need to start with a sprint. Sometimes it begins with just putting on your shoes and stepping out the door.
There’s value in consistency, even when the effort feels small.
A slow jog on tired legs.
A walk to clear your mind.
A short ride between meetings.
They all count.
Because what matters most isn’t how far or how fast you go it’s that you go.
Movement is medicine.
It’s therapy.
It’s momentum.
And every small session adds up to something bigger over time.
So if today’s a 5-minute ride or a 50K loop, honor it.
Show up in whatever way you can.
You never regret the ride.
But you’ll always remember the day you stopped showing up.
