Episode description

The phrase "try hard" is ingrained in sport.  We "try hard" to hit our numbers. We "try hard" on race day. We "try hard" to stick to a nutrition plan...to make it to a track workout...to finish that interval.  You get the idea.  So what if we tried "less?" What if we let go of the combination of the word "try" and "hard" and just....let go? In today's podcast, we talk about just that.  Some topics covered:

  • The tendency to overdo it in training and racing
  • The role breathing and flow state play
  • The power of trying less
  • Relaxation and proper breathing for performance 
  • The importance of recovery and time off 
  • Flexibility and training in nutrition 
  • Finding joy in training and racing
