EP. 69 - Peak Performance Strategies For Achieving Your Full Potential

How much can be achieved if we truly set our minds to the work of improvement and performance? Let this episode serve as a guide for establishing important peak performance concepts and the tangible practices you can implement to maximize your potential.

Key ideas of the episode include:

• How to approach potential differently based on the ideas of “macro” and “micro.”


• A definition of “deliberate practice” and the importance of this strategy on performance.


• Five ways to maximize your potential in the long term.


• Three shifts that you can make to perform better on race day.

Your potential as a runner - and, for that matter, a human - is not “fixed,” meaning that you have a say in how far you push what is possible - and that you have the ability to express this potential in the world.

Many of the concepts of this episode were drawn from two great books linked below. Check them out for more information on these topics and further insight into the science of performance.
