Summary

For many, the compass or guiding light of race targets are hidden by the fog of COVID-19, with little real understanding of when the fog will lift.

How do you train for something when you don’t know what that something is?
Where does training fit in the whole big puzzle at the moment?
What are some practical guidelines for you to maximize training NOW so that you can thrive later?

The answers are likely not all quite what you might expect, but Matt dives in and provides a performance framework for resilience and progression.

Sport and training are the best arenas to share an experience, share the suffering, and safely sweat on each other with the protection of your screen providing the divide. We'd love to have you join in the collective sharing with Purple Patch.

0:26.6	Well, life has changed.
0:30.5	You're an athlete, and now your goals are fuzzy.

0:50.3	but you are an athlete. There is not a better time to be an athlete. There is no more important time to
1:01.4	train and I would argue being a coach, there's no better time to have a coach or mentor.
1:08.6	But how should you tangibly evolve your approach to training? How should we set up
1:15.7	the plan? A bunch of low stress, train as usual within the confines of accessibility, take a little

1:43.5	Today, yes, today we're awarding scholarships to 25 athletes for the remainder of the 2020 season.
1:53.4	We were in and dated with applicants and so thank you, a genuine thank you to every single person who took the time to apply.
