What the Clock Doesn't Measure
A score captures the workout. It doesn't capture the work.
What the Clock Doesn't Measure
It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.
— Seneca, Letters to Lucilius 2
Two people finish the same workout in nine minutes. One held a hollow position on every rep; the other threw their back at it. The whiteboard shows one number and hides everything that mattered.
The clock is a useful liar. Use it for pacing, then ignore it when it starts telling you who you are.
Today's challenge: Pick one round today where you deliberately go slower to move better.
