a moving target
A Good Reminder as you move forward:
As someone who’s focused on training smart – which includes moving well and aging gracefully – I believe that when you are MOVING WELL and authentically and follow that quality movement with appropriate and progressive strength training, the greater levels of endurance, power, and speed improvements you seek are relatively easy to achieve.
In other words, your training begins to work to help you improve at a rapid rate!
Put another way…

The main thing we need to remind ourselves of routinely as we move forward is this:
IT IS A MOVING TARGET.
What do I mean?
The bottom line, as the training hours or miles pile up, you night not be moving in quite the same way as you did PRIOR to the repeated bouts of training stress, minor “tweaks,” and lifestyle challenges.
There is no guarantee that a neutral pelvis today, ensures you will have that same neutral pelvis, 1 week, month, or year from now.
In other words, and to summarize…most of us will never reach a point where we can say, “I move well now, so I don’t need to think about that anymore.”
The first and most important thing to do is to be AWARE. Good authentic movement is a moving target.
Depending on what you are doing, how you are living, and what is happening in your training, you could be one step closer to injury than you might think, due to those potential changes.
If you “tweak” something, for whatever reason, accept that you ARE going to have to go back and RESET core stability and motor control.
The solution will be to TAKE IT BACK to the BASICS and reset authentic movement, such as:
