Milo of Croton was a wrestler of note who lived in the sixth Century BC. It is said that the great wrestler once lifted a 4-year-old bull on his shoulders, roasted it and ate it all in one day. Impressive, no? What I find most impressive about this story is how Milo was able to train and develop the strength to carry the bull. The tale goes that every day from when the calf was born, Milo would go out and lift the calf. As the calf grew so did Milo’s strength. Modern sport scientists would call this a perfect example of progressive overload in training. No doubt, modern day animal activists would probably have something to say as well! It is amazing what can be achieved when the sum of years of training is accumulated. Recently, the performance of two of my clients gave me pause to reconsider that we all have to start somewhere but eventually everyone can achieve great results over time.

One of the tough aspects of any kind of healthy practice is that it can wear you down. Self-discipline and will power are not a infinite commodities. To the contrary, it is finite, and when we run out we’re in BIG trouble. So here are two of my favourite fables revisited about maintaining your discipline. I want you to also remember that by providing your body with excellent fuel, then you are giving yourself the best chance to maintain your discipline. Just like good exercise breeds more energy, good eating breeds better decisions and a healthier psychological disposition. Enjoy the fables:
