Winning. That’s what we typically aim for and for sure we at Tenac love to promote your wins and top results. It’s one sign that your training is going in the right direction and it’s a celebration of your excellence. We do find motivation in winning and it is a good place to start. However, […]

They have a high tolerance for failure. They fail more often than other athletes. The second trait stems from them taking risks more often which gives […]

Without recovery, there is no adaption and without adaptation, there is no improvement. Recovery can occur in many parts of your day and you have control of it. Think of them […]
Yesterday, goTenac.com athlete John Murphy raced to 4th place at stage 1 of the Amgen Tour of California. Today I write that I am proud of Murphy’s ability to put himself in position to win. He didn’t win by standing on the top of the podium but he won by putting together a plan and […]
