Olympic Track and Field is just about here! It started with race walking today and events in the stadium start tomorrow. I’m going to take a break from my usual training focused posts to share some thoughts on enjoying Olympic Track and Field.
I’ll highlight a handful of events (and one athlete) that I’m especially looking forward to but I’d encourage you to watch all of them. Yes, I got my Peacock 1 month subscription so I can immerse myself in the Olympics and it’s a pretty small investment if you really want to go deep. So far, their coverage has been impressively comprehensive.
We all (hopefully) know that both your hard workouts and your easy runs/rest matter. The hard days are the stimulus for improvement but recovery is when the improvements happen so you need to make sure you’re recovering adequately. Not to mention, if you don’t recover adequately, you’ll eventually break down and either get burned out or injured.
But what classifies as rest? Well, that’s a difficult question.
It’s that time again! Your chance to ask me anything you would like. As I always mention, this is always one of my favorite things to do.
Almost nothing is off limits. Feel free to ask me about training, racing, what’s going on at HillRunner.com, or anything else. This is my invitation to you to ask whatever you would like.
