Today's episode is a race recap from the Mallusk 5 mile road race. The course is infamous with 550 feet of ascent, mostly in the first two miles up the Sealstown road.



Races like this help to give you a different focus rather than fixating on pace and they can also offer up something different to your training.



I talk about how to objectively assess a non A-goal race and also how racing on your back doorstep with a strong team around you can help push you on.
