Any amount of progress, no matter how slow, will lead to great results if sustained for a long period of time and you never go backwards.
There's a common misconception when you start training that you should always be moving forward and you're either getting better or you're getting worse.
This is incorrect. You need to learn how to coast without falling into the trap of all-or-nothing training.

It takes significantly more effort to make new gains you've never had than it does to maintain your current and the mental effort.
The body is far more resilient than most people give it credit for. It's ability to adapt to the demands placed on it is under appreciated.
The mind is more important than the body when it comes to fatigue management. It's a ahead. For most, this strategy will produce the best results long term.

The concept of "2 steps forward, 1 step back" ignores the time component. Once you add in the factor of time, you will see that better results often come from going backwards less.

Warren Buffett has 2 simple rules for investing.

Rule #1: Never lose money.
Rule #2: Never forget rule #1.

Adapted for training:

Rule #1: Never get worse.
Rule #2: Never forget rule #1.

To not get worse you need to prioritize both your physical and mental health so you have the ability to train and the burning desire required.
By prioritizing not getting worse you end up far better long term.
