ITS RACE WEEEEK!!!Which really means, the hard work is done. You have done everything you could do with the tools and resources you have available to prepare for the race. Now comes the hard part, convincing yourself that you can do it.If you're anything like me, confidence is strong during training and then plummets the week of the race. You start to question if you can do it, if you can finish in X time, or what will go wrong. That's where your mental preparing comes into play. We all know running is 80-90% mental, so we have to address it. For me, this means reassuring myself that everything is going to be fine and I will do the best I can to build my confidence for the race. Enjoy the episode as I walk you through my game strategy as I enter my upcoming race!
If you wan to run more efficient, improving your running form is the first place I would start. When you tweak and improve your form, your running economy improves, your injury risk is lower, and you can improve your performance faster.But trying to improve your running form can feel overwhelming. You may have even thought: Where do I even start? How do I know the new cue is even helping?Whenever I help someone improve their form, I always work top down- analyzing their head, shoulders, and arm swing first. A runners arm swing can say so much about what is going on with the rest of the body because your arms control your legs.In today's episode, we are talking about mistakes runners make with their arm swing that is effecting the rest of their form.  When you can start to use your arms correctly, your running will feel more in sync and effortless!Links from the episode:If you are a motivated runner looking to improve your performance, you need a personalized plan. A running plan that is designed for your goals, experience and lifestyle of running otherwise you increase your risk for injury and it's going to be real difficult to improve your endurance. Thats exactly why I created the Complete Runners Club: the all-in-one membership so you can train smarter and improve your performance with like-minded runners. Join today, doors close Thursday, February 29th.
