#178: Racing outside the comfort zone - the NI Masters 3000m recap, bicarb and watch setup!

from The Running Rules Podcast · host Alan Ladd

In today's episode I recap the NI Masters championships 3000m race which I joked is 39k too short for me. However, it allowed me to be challenged in a different way that I will take forward into future races.I go into my preparation for this race, how I found it to be mentally different as well as physically different and how the heat played its part.I also used bicarb for the first time in a race - I give my verdict and also whether you should consider it as well as looking at making sure your watch is set up correctly to give you the feedback you need in a race.I have a few slots still available for one to one coaching which takes the guesswork out of your training and racing.
