52 minutes

Nick Klastava is a runner and running coach who loves to help athletes balance their training with their life and to focus less on the numbers.

In this episode we talk about:

Training through the different seasons of life
Comparing to past life training to current self
Working through the phases of injury recovery with athletes, getting out of the grind and self-doubt
Helping athletes find their growth & progress
Celebrate the little moments and gain perspective
Relying less on numbers how it helped me as an athlete to be less anxious and have less performance anxiety and how I help athletes as a coach
Having tools in the toolbox to show up for yourself in training
Moving through race day anxiety and stress
Breaking the stigma around pace or BQ what it takes to be a good coach
Being flexible as an adult runner and finding joy in it and bring running along with it
And more!
