And whilst you are entirely on point when you say DB represents only potential and is nowhere near the finished article I can promise you if he scores a deciding
goal for us tomorrow then the debate will snowball, and if he starts knocking a few in for us in the coming
months there will be a shed
load of revisionist theories being flung around.
So, though I'm mindful that I've got a starting line to get ready for in a little over two
months, which means just one more
month of big training because we taper, I've got to be mindful
of not just miles, minutes, and workout
goals, I've got to be sure I'm factoring in the total stress
load - which is the allostatic
load — and if that scale is tipped too far for too long I could wipe out positive effects
of training.
