I'm not saying that we should always post our worst workouts, just that given the fact that humans are predisposed to the optimism bias, that we occasionally show that not all training sessions are stellar. We are going through the ebbs and flows of training like all other individuals, and a dose of reality is a very nice thing to have! It helps athletes all around the world have a realistic sense of what it is like to train at all levels of the continuum, and a better understanding of expectations.
We would do well to show our missed attempts and failures not only in the light of a picture of reality, but also as a means to analyze ways to improve and grow.
