When's the last time you set a goal to improve your endurance by more than 10 fold in 15 weeks and achieved it. Talk to me when you have.

When I started running, I ran for 2 minutes, walked for 1. I could barely finish a mile even doing intervals - that's no exageration. Physically AND mentally. And running for more than 2 minutes took several weeks of training 6 days a week.
15 weeks later I completed 13.1 miles running the entire time and finishing in under 3 hours. I finished ahead of more than 30% of the runners who showed up for the finish line. I finished ahead of 100% of the runners who didn't show up.
My times aren't fast - but I set and achieved my goal. Not your goal. But I don't know you and you dont' know me.

Go race Rossi on the track. What's your goal? do your best, don't crash, and finish or finish ahead of him? And that's just on a motorcycle - not pushing your body past it's current limits.
