Races are happening which means we are traveling again. You’ve likely not raced -- or traveled to a race - in over a year. That means there is bound to be some kind of stress! Coach Patrick covers five key travel habits to help athletes reduce stress and stay focused on what’s important. You want to be on-site, ready to race. Getting from home to that state takes careful planning and a bit of luck. 

Join Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation (www.endurancenation.us) for another weekly endurance podcast. Coach Patrick breaks down the cost of running too fast in your training. In terms of missed peak fitness, but also in terms of long-term development. The term Ballistic Load applies to the cost of running; and it increases as you run harder. Instead of trying to find a shortcut, use a well-thought season plan to keep yourself run healthy and on track for a better overall season. Key Talking Points: Consistency and Frequency are the most important fitness levers. Opportunity Cost of missed training is high.

Join Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation (www.endurancenation.us) for another weekly endurance podcast. Coach Patrick breaks down the macro-level tactics for endurance runners to manage their speed training. Key Talking Points: There are significant consequences for a poor run speed training strategy: injury, burnout, fatigue, failure to peak...just to name a few. Elite runners dedicate 20% of their time (or less) to run speed...and so should you! Strivers try too hard; Achievers use the Minimum Effective Dose. Less run speedwork can actually have a greater impact. Thanks for listening to this Endurance Nation podcast...find more online here. Prefer to Watch the Show?
