Today we look at injecting your late season race/training with a little positive mojo. We look at the positives and the tough spots you might face and how to get through them. Seasonal EPO, Late season FOMO as others sit around watching football, and understanding the emotional swings of peak training. We get into excitement vs. fulfillment so you can have a better perspective on your upcoming race. We look at how hard things create breakthroughs when we least expect it. We talk about overly ambitious goals and why they can be a good thing. We also remind you that every single race is HARD. Be ready for the challenge while you're out there. Choose strong and steady over Epic as you benchmark. And finally we go down memory lane on Louisville. Mike's humble beginnings. Robbie's rocky period. And how all of this has come together better than we imagined, or maybe even recognize.
