Endurance sport is mental training. You are alone in your head for long periods of time with ever increasing levels of discomfort. You have a concrete goal that half your mind is screaming to abandon. You repeat this day after day and have no option but to figure it out.

I loved watching this on TV as a kid. Most refreshing thing—all competition…no clock.

Another great, fast time at Holmdel's Twilight 3200s. Thanks Holmdel Athletics Summit Athletics

I know this is hard - and maybe it's not realistic... But getting 20 more minutes of sleep each night for the rest of the season will make a huge impact on your racing (as much as killer workouts will). Maybe less Snap and Insta and Facetime after practice? 😉 Let's go!

Coaching is not about prescribing and dictating. It's about creating situations where the athlete is challenged to figure it out. You nudge them along, but if you always give them the answer, you aren't actually teaching. And they aren't learning.

HS Athletes: Make your coach's life easy by... - Looking at the heat sheets and figuring out when you should start your warm-up. Confirm with them, but do the work first. - When your race is over ask if they need help with anything, possibly getting splits for teammates.
