Coach and Sub4 Miler Kevin Kelly joins Michael and Mark for the second time. In this week's episode the trio talk about an outside factor that many people do not consider in their training; stress. Kevin, Mark and Michael draw from their personal history and coaching experience to make a case for being aware of stress and the potential downsides.

Stress decreases performance, increases effort, plays a hormonal role, and impacts motivation - that's not exactly ground breaking. The group covers multiple topics relating to stress including:

• Environment
• Journaling
• Fitness Trackers
• Comparison
• Sleep
• Social media
• Practical tips to destress.
