done my normal 45min Friday morning turbo session (whilst watching The collective:Roam) and got to thinking, are patience and stamina one and the same thing?

reason for wondering is that I'm not a patient person. ever. if i order something off of the web i want it there and then. If there's a lead time to order something I'll invariable not buy it because I've got to wait for it. until recently.

and this brings me to stamina. I have none. I'm getting better but i think it's because my job has started to teach me to be more patient.

are they linked? or was my mind wondering because i was:
a) still half asleep
b) bored, on a turbo trainer.

answers on a postcard...

With respect to fitness, I suppose 'patience' is what you could call the discipline needed to spend the time building up stamina ... you need patience to build stamina, but they're not "one and the the same thing" as such

Most things in life these days have way of achieving a quick fix or instant gratification ... perhaps we're all becoming conditioned to expect instant results with everything

I can ride all day long if I pace myself right.

The fitter I am, the faster that pace is.

you might as well give up.

Seems like you have difficulty deferring gratification.
