Eliminate Stress-Crimson Canyon Ultra | S2E7

Panic Attack: a sudden feeling of acute and disabling anxiety, sometimes so severe that one might believes they are about to die. Melody experienced her first panic attack this year in a tent after a series of stressful circumstances. Unfortunately, her training was affected by all the stressors in her life and she has taken a few steps back in her training (well, atleast physcailly...She has grown in understanding and mental toughness, that's for sure!) Melody shares what she has learned through her experiences this year and how her run at the Crimson Canyon Ultras taught her an important lesson about eliminating stress!Ways you can eliminate stress:-Quit your job (no seriously, if it's not the right fit for you, find something else!)-Turn off stats on your watch (HR, VO2 max, performance condition (garmin) )-Run by feel - Don't forget what it's like to ENJOY running. If you find yourself starting to dread your runs, that is a sign of burn out!-RECOVER! Take breaks and make sure you are getting enough sleep! Mike Mcknight suggests a 6mo off season and a 6mo on season.-Realize that life is going to happen and have faith that when set backs happen, you will come back strongerJacob placed 5th in the 25k Crimson Canyon Ultra.
