I like the way you look when you run. #IYKYK #runnerthings #crosscountry

It's because people give 9yr olds insane workouts like the one below, that I wrote an article about raising young athletes.

My advice to parents & coaches of youth athletes can be summarized succinctly: Chill out!

It's not about you. Let them have fun.

By “free speech”, I simply mean that which matches the law.

I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law.

If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect.

Therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people.

I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means

John Landy, the 2nd man to run a sub-4-mile has passed away. Landy was an absolute legend.

My favorite story of Landy is when at the Australian National Championships, in front of 20k people, he stopped mid-race to help another runner.

The inner voice telling you to quit is your mind doing its job.

When you are pushing your limits, entering a state where reaching your goal is in doubt, that inner doubt is trying to protect you from giving your all and failing.

It's your choice on how much you listen to it.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

If you have more to lose, you are more likely to fear failure.

Part of freeing yourself up to perform at your best is getting comfortable with losing.

Understanding that your status or whatever it is you value isn't as big a deal as you think it is.

If you change nothing, nothing changes. Success follows risk takers. #inspirational

Stop halfway resting and halfway working.

We spend too much time in this in-between zone of kind of doing work, but not doing actual deep work.

Work deeply. Rest deeply. Get out of the middle zone.

“Stop competing with others and start competing with yourself” every runner learns at some point their greatest competitor is themselves. #quoteoftheday #quotes #inspirational #Compete

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

We don't 'choke' in practice. We do so in games.

One obvious reason: An audience creates evaluative pressure.

Now, think about our modern world. We've created a place where we have an 'audience' and evaluative pressure in just about everything we do...

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

Part of performing at the highest level is learning to let go.

Trying harder, exerting more effort, often backfires.

Think: The batter who tries to swing harder. The Sprinter who tries to force running faster

Do the work in practice. Then trust yourself to execute.

Hard to watch but major props to @OregonTF’s @CooperTeare on a total display of determination and guts to finish on his own at the NCAA Cross Country Championships. Whatever it took.
