#687 – Hopes And Dreams Die In The Details

How do you think about race preparation? Today, we look at ways to get the most out of your fitness on race day. We look at the difference between preparing with accessories and preparing with knowledge that will make you faster. Do you really KNOW the race course? Do you train on similar terrain or simulated terrain? We look at ways for you to dial in your nutrition, but also talk about how the perfect game plan with nutrition can be ruined by bad pacing. We also look at how bad nutrition can be overcome by perfect pacing. Being unprepared equals fear. Are you training with purpose in regard to the race course or just winging it in hopes it works out? There is a ton of free speed out there if you know where to look for it, and we’re not talking about aero helmets and carbon shoes.
