The best way to get better at anything is to do it a lot.
But not mindlessly. With intention and reflection.
That's how you develop skill and expertise.
Not by following some magic formula or guru.
Just by showing up and doing the work. Every day.
I want to throw my phone into a river and do a digital detox but I also need to know everything that happens in track within three minutes of it happening

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.
Congratulations to E. Cooley for winning this City Meet in the shot and the discus this evening. She also set a meet record in the discus (by over 21 feet) and beat her old school record with a throw of 115’10.5 🥳
