Summary

Races are not expiration dates. This is about a never ending journey to be and get better. Today we look at some of the things that wedge their way into consistency with training. Whether it the Devil and Angel on your shoulder, or biting off more than you can chew because you feel good one day. We talk training outlines, recovery, and general perspectives on how you can find a groove and stay in it. 

Topics:

  • Discoveries can be in the mystery
  • Where do you gravitate?
  • We are on a never ending journey
  • We race on the same course as the pros
  • Do you simply enjoy Being and Getting Better?
  • Does this sport compliment and supplement your life?
  • We all came from a place
  • Were you looking for something or needing something?
  • The march forward should still be going on
  • The Devil and Angel
  • Snowball effect
  • Transitions in life . . .
  • A race isn’t an expiration date
  • Building patterns and behaviors
  • The toughest weeks for consistent athletes
  • Taking your foot off the gas for recovery
  • Responding to a Day Off
