Summary

In this episode on our continuing series of #emergingstronger, Matt outlines a playbook for a "ramp to racing."

A return to racing will happen soon. We don't know exactly when, but when it happens, you want to be ready...race ready. What should that look like as you emerge from the fog? What should you seek to accomplish on your return?

In setting up this episode, Matt defines and lays out:

Reminders of key elements that your training should have right now
Important considerations as we inch towards a racing mindset
Key sessions, mindset, and setting up your "ramp to racing"

Remember, you are not seeking a return to the old you. You are seeking…growth. You don’t want to return. You want to emerge.
