#564 – Racing Is Pacing

Published: March 14, 2022, 4:17 p.m.

Pacing is an art and we can all get better. Today, we get into changing and acclimating to the conditions and learning more from your workouts. We talk about being paralyzed by the numbers on the fly and why it’s best to react later. Real world environments. Training inside vs. Outside. Breath and Rhythm, along with a little March Madness and Clash Miami.

  • Strength work on the fly
  • Practicing in a real world environment

  • What’s Alarming
