Similarly, Olympic runner Alexi Pappis, credits much of her success to her coach’s Rule of Thirds: “Whenever you’re chasing a big dream, you’re supposed to feel good a third of the time, okay a third of the time, and crappy or not great a third of the time, and if you feel roughly in those ratios, it means you are in fact chasing a dream. If you feel too good all the time, you’re not pushing yourself enough.”
