#285 - Mastering 40, Ep. 6

The new Mastering 40 episode is here and it details my wildest week yet. Last weekend I was able make up for my 10k DNF six weeks ago with a strong effort. In fact, the final 5k was faster than the 5k I ran three weeks ago. Yes! Then, mere hours later I was hobbled by an ankle injury. First coach James McKirdy breaks down 10k, the differences between racing scared or confident, and how the injury could dovetail nicely with a planned decompression in the training schedule.  In the second half of the episode, Adrienne Langelier, my sport psychologist and I talk through talk through the weekend. First we discuss pre-race anxiety and race execution. Then, Adrienne helps me setup a plan mentally work through recovering from the injury while also working full-time with my two kids who will be full-time distance learning for the next few weeks.
