Can you quantify EVERYTHING? Are you relying too much on "the numbers"? Are you DEVASTATED when you can't hit your exact target splints in a workout? Coach Nick Klastava has some wisdom to share about how runners should focus way less on "the numbers", and what they should focus on instead!

  • What numbers do runners tend to overemphasize?
  • How important is pace?
  • Are there any ways to guarantee your race day results with specific workouts in training?
  • Why tying your self-worth to your performance is a path to unhappiness
  • What to focus on INSTEAD of the numbers
  • And more!

    Nick Klastava has been a runner on and off for almost 25 years, running in High School and College back in the early 2000's and then taking some time off and finding the sport again in a different more joyful, less pressure-filled way in 2009. Nick's journey has gone from a runner filled with mental blocks that plague all runners to becoming a runner filled with joy and belief in himself and not some numbers. He now helps runners as a USATF/RRCA certified coach at Lift Run Perform to help runners learn to truly believe in themselves, adapt their training to their hectic lives, and become the best runner possible while enjoying the process that is life along the way.
