People are creatures of habit. I know when I got into a heavy routine of training, I noticed that my attitude became as rigid as my workout schedule. If anything or anyone put a kink in my schedule, I would steam about it for the rest of the day. Sound stupid? It was, but it was how I felt, and I couldn't help it at the time.
The broken treadmill could be a metaphor (of sorts) for his training. If the treadmill is broken, so is his training schedule, and that's enough to freak people into thinking they'll fall off the wagon of consistent training.
Just a thought.....It's hard to explain, but I've been there.
Just never to the point that I'd take it out on other people. Get bummed that something is messing with my schedule? Sure. Get pissed at the world because it ruined my whole training program and f*#ked my entire day? Time to rethink what life is all about!
