Be the best of who you are, not the worst of who you aren't. Today, we talk about the importance of marginal gains in training, and life. Why do we do this sport? To get stronger, more resilient, and build the foundation we take on this journey. We talk about shifting our perspective on gains and comparison. There's a lot of power in marginal gains, and frankly, they are the key to better racing. No more beating yourself up because you're not "fast." Fast is relative in endurance sports. It's about how little you slow down. You can't go back and fix training, but what you can do is train for a better understanding of your effort and execution. Focus on recovery and being the best you can be today. With love to Somer and her family.
