Athletes...

Rather than focusing on a time, focus on beating the person in front of you.

[Conner Johnsen @ConnerJ94]

@hermosaboy @CoachDistance ~200m hill reps, proper drills/plyo’s and steady paced mid mileage runs. Hills build strength/ turnover, drills re-enforce good form ques and the steady runs build aerobic capacity. Obviously this depends on the athlete, (training history, health, drive) but it can be effective

[Conner Johnsen @ConnerJ94]

@maxxantush @marcusdickson94 You can still be elite! But you’re definitely going on LR

@maxxantush @marcusdickson94 Not a chance

@marcusdickson94 I miss the simple days of spam refreshing https://t.co/uKg9vt52ks for white river’s league meet results to see how fast you and Kody went. Helped light the fire!

As a HS senior, I ran 4:03 in the mile. After a frustrating 7 yrs, I finally beat my PR but still didn’t break 4. I was mad at running.

I started coaching HS runners and I’ve experienced so much joy in coaching kids to beat their PRs.

Give back and you can rekindle your passion

A secret: Being tough gets easier the fitter you are.

When you are out of shape, the alarm bell in your head goes off at the slightest sensation of discomfort.

When you are fit or prepared, the alarm is quiet for much longer, only gradually increasing as discomfort grows.

Holy cannoli.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

When it gets tough, don’t fight, relax.

Watch the best runners at the end of a race. The pressure is on, fatigue is unbearable, the temptation to tense up is there. But they didn’t fight it. They relax.

Fighting, trying too hard, often backfires. Relax.

Thanks to @CoachJHerbert for this.

World Athletics itself studied this in 2009.

Guess what they found?

Athletes can react as fast as .080

According to World Athletics itself, Devon Allen's DQ is BS.

Our sport is dumb...
