Road to the Olympics

Todays Podcast goes through a few things running / training related with Olympian Andy Vernon, Vernons way of training, how many medals he's won at European Championships, 20+ British titles and how he has to supplement his "running" wage with other means. Also how in 2012-13 he almost thought about throwing in the towel... VERY very serious thoughts on retiring.

This episode covers going all in, using your own motivation to fuel your passion. I believe the main reason to my success was my aggressive approach to my comeback, I ditched the safety rope 2 years ago, and went all in.

Sometimes I can be super emotional, and I've learnt to deal with that slightly better. If I look back at all my "regrets" both in sport / life, usually it boils down to emotional decisions. Dealing with the mental sides of athletics can be tough, "BUT actually, I don't think it's that tough" we just let it over whelm us. If you think about running logically. IT'S only running.
