Coach Quip

Recently we’ve had volumes climbing, races happening and things are getting more challenging - as they should be. But along with this is not "hitting" our typical measures of success like pace and distance, and athletes are feeling discouraged. This episode is all about looking for the wins in less conventional areas of training and racing, all in the quest to become a better Athlete.

In this episode, we riff on one of Nike Global Head Running Coach, Coach Bennett's Axioms: “Measure success as many ways as possible." What do these other Successes look like? Tune in!

Many athletes know the thrill of a great session — the effortless feeling, the sense of invincibility, or hitting a flow state. However, equally familiar are those tough days when nothing seems to go right. It’s easy to feel discouraged when training sessions fall short or races end in disappointment. Yet, these challenging experiences can be more beneficial than the easy, "good" days. In today's episode, we talk about why embracing the tough moments in your training journey can lead to greater growth and success.

Studies show the average person checks their phone every 12 minutes, or approximately 80 times each day. Some people check their phones even more frequently. With all of the buzzes and beeps, it is easy to be distracted by notifications popping up - and each notice comes at a cost: it takes about 23 minutes to return our focus to deep work on the task that was interrupted.
