#860 – Nail The Run In Your Next Race

Support the podcast by getting your hands on some awesome C26 Triathlon gear at our store!

It's easy to blame a bad race on the run, but it goes much deeper. Today, we look at how to train in a way that gives you the best shot at running well in races. We talk about the realities of a race and why you're most likely not giving yourself the best shot to run how you want. We look at training techniques, including the possibilty of running less than you are to be better prepared for race day. It can be a complicated puzzle, but the reality comes down to being ready and able to run.
