Summary

You're done when you choose to be done. The difference between elite athletes winning or losing comes down to the little things. Often those "little things" are ignored by age group athletes, but we believe they were the difference for Tiger Woods winning The Masters. Today we talk about focus, fueling, and recovery and how they add up to feeling good and better racing.

  • What we learned from Tiger Woods
  • Mental fortitude and focus
  • Bowel movements on the run
  • New Coaching Options on Website

  • Pre-Baby vs. Post-Baby accomplishments
  • Ongoing body changes
  • Challenges of Getting Older 
  • Prevention vs. Cure
  • Getting Your Body Ready to Train or Race
  • Journaling For the Little Things
  • Life Stress Impact on Training 
  • Good New Things Are Stressful
  • What leads to injury and sickness?
  • Totally Under fueled?
  • No off days For Your Recovery
  • Addicted to big holes
  • The larger the hold the more demanding the recovery
  • Training your gut to take in calories

Man, have you had a busy morning already?
