Motivation from Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Meeting the French President

Inspiration from Rihanna's Meeting with Emmanuel Macron

Motivation from Rihanna’s Meeting with France’s President

While in France last week, Rihanna and her boyfriend, A$AP Rocky, met with the French president Emanual Macron. Macron and Rihanna have had a history of discussing education going back to 2017 when Rihanna publicly tweeted at Macron. The tweet asked if Macron would commit France to #fundeducation, which later led to a meeting.

Rihanna reunited with Macron in February 2018 to headline a conference in Senegal to raise money for education in developing countries. Her most recent visit comes after she had a short love fest with Natalie Portman at a Paris Fashion Week Show.

How can Rihanna’s interactions with the French President motivate us?

Unlikely Partnerships Can Make a Difference: When a pop star collaborates with a politician, it seems like an unexpected pairing. However, such teams often bring complementary skills that create meaningful impacts.

Have Fun While Making a Positive Impact: Rihanna, a pop star legend, could have treated her trip to France with boyfriend A$AP Rocky only as a fun vacation. Instead, she chose to engage in a conversation with Macron. Consider incorporating a meaningful activity into your next vacation, even if it's a personal challenge.

Embrace Education: Rihanna is a strong advocate for education, believing that all children deserve access to quality learning. Macron also values education, as evidenced by his life story (He would marry his teacher, whom he met when he was 15 years old). Education comes in various forms, and beyond formal schooling, daily practices like reading books such as Outlive and Life Force can enhance your health, wellness, and longevity.

 

Thanks Rihanna! Let’s keep putting in the work.

Training Tip: What Is Lactate Threshold?

Lactate Threshold is the pace that you can sustain for a prolonged period of time where the amount of lactate that your muscles produce can effectively be removed. Your LT Pace is usually the fastest pace you can run at for a solid hour. One way to estimate your LT pace is to take your 5km race pace and add 15-35 seconds per mile. Here is a simple calculator to help.

Many experts recommend doing most of your training below your LT so the lactate that your muscles are producing is consistently removed.

Here are 3 ways to increase your Lactate Threshold:

  1. Increase your weekly running mileage

  2. Add weekly tempo runs into your running schedule

  3. Perform regular lactate threshold intervals
