  • EP. 101 - Mindset Tools to Overcome a Tough Race

    In this week’s episode, we discuss mindset tools to help you overcome a disappointing result. 


    Falling short of your goals, specifically on race day, can be a tough challenge for many runners to face. Still, there are numerous lessons to be learned and takeaways to appreciate - all leading to a more mentally resilient athlete. Your “best” won’t look the same every day, which is why we encourage you to emphasize these tools, to support any outcome, good or bad. 


    Listen to hear how we navigate adverse situations, why you shouldn’t alter your plans just because you didn’t achieve a desired result, and how coming up short in one instance, can further your progress in the long run.

  • EP. 100 - Peak Performance Principles with Ric Rojas

    This week, we are thrilled to be joined by Ric Rojas! Ric is a retired elite distance runner, who among other achievements, held the 15K World Record, ran a 5,000m PR time of 13:39.92, and won multiple USATF National titles. Ric also won the Bolder Boulder 10K Memorial Day Road Race in 1979, beating out Frank Shorter in the inaugural year! 


    Now, as a coach, he consistently yields results across the distance running spectrum, including Olympic Trials qualifiers, nationally ranked high school runners, and world-ranked masters runners. He is based out of Boulder, Colorado.


    Ric joins the Elevate Your Running Podcast to discuss many exciting topics that pertain to strong, fast running! We discussed… 

    • Running fundamentals and key aspects of effective running form, as well as drills and techniques all runners can implement to improve their running economy. 
    • What works for elite runners, and how Ric’s peak performance principles can be applied to your next running goal.
    • Mindset strategies any athlete can use to perform their best in workouts, and to breakthrough on the race course. 
    • Ric’s thoughts on the upcoming Olympic Trials, where he will have multiple athletes, including his daughter, Nell Rojas (episode 50) running for a spot in the 2024 Olympic Games Marathon!
    • We are grateful to Ric for spending his time with us for a very special episode #100. If you’d like to learn more from Ric, check out the resources below!
