Episode 149: Big Adventure Days, Racing Non-Negotiables, and Building Resilience

<p>In this week&#39;s episode, we catch up on Elena&#39;s recent 40-mile adventure on the John Muir Trail and talk about planning big adventure days, managing risk, and taking some of the pressure and perfectionism out of training. We also discuss approaching sport with more curiosity, finding motivation through supporting other athletes, and how to be a great crew member or pacer when a friend is tackling a big goal. Then, we dig into race-day non-negotiables, building a cookie jar of resilience data points from hard experiences, and why the races that don&#39;t go according to plan can sometimes become your most valuable mental training. Finally, we talk about recovering and fueling after big training days before wrapping up with this week&#39;s challenges and gear picks.
