About this episode
One of my fatal flaws is that when I'm considering a race, I tend to evaluate whether other not I can do it based on my fitness right then in that moment.
I think: "Could I do this race right now?"
99% of the time, the answer is NO (obviously!) because I'm usually picking races when it's my off season or when I'm taking a break so while I might be fit, I'm certainly not race ready!
I'm asking myself the wrong question when trying to decide if I should do a race or not.
So today I want to share some better questions that you can use to help keep you from following suit and adopting my fatal flaw!
Here they are:
- Do I have enough lead time (to train)?
- Does it challenge me in a new, different, or exciting way?
- Is it a stretch or a strain?
- What aspect of my training will I need to focus on in order to feel more confident in my ability to complete this race?
Listen in as I walk through each of these questions and share some additional insights💡
