Run Camp once again taught and reminded us of the importance of committing to getting better by "racing yourself." Today we look at how to motivate ourselves with or without racing. We look at why strong is better than fast even if you want to go fast. Also, positive peer pressure, making hills our best friends and out-executing the competition. We talk about turning nervous energy into a positive, letting down your guard, and becoming obsessed with feeling strong and durable. Topics: How do we judge "better?" Letting down your guard Stressed and anxious? Motivation to push ourselves Positive peer pressure What happens when we don't think? Hills are our best friends Nervous energy as a positive They ran further than ever at run camp Racing Yourself Why endurance sports are great for development How do you want to challenge yourself? Molding challenges into daily life Strong vs. Fast . . . what's it feel like? Not letting distraction into your run Learning and embracing growth Speed vs. Efficiency Racing smart and why it matters Out-executing your competition Obsessed with feeling strong and durable In-Race Recovery Knowing who you are as an athlete Making your last mile the fastest Quick vs. Fast Holding on at the End of Races --------------- Coach Mike is accepting full-time athletes.
