#132: Mallusk 5 mile road race recap - how a challenging course can give you a different focus and push you on

from The Running Rules Podcast · host Alan Ladd

Today's episode is a race recap from the Mallusk 5 mile road race. The course is infamous with 550 feet of ascent, mostly in the first two miles up the Sealstown road.Races like this help to give you a different focus rather than fixating on pace and they can also offer up something different to your training.I talk about how to objectively assess a non A-goal race and also how racing on your back doorstep with a strong team around you can help push you on.If you need help and accountability with your own training for your next race along with personalised guidance in nutrition and mindset, message me at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.instagram.com/therunningrules⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or see ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.therunningrules.com/coaching
