Episode 965: Easing the Pressure
from The Best Podcast · host Matt Best
Today’s run reminded me of a very useful lesson about performance. For those who are like me, the pressure we impose on ourselves can often make our performance worse, even if it feels like it’s supposed to improve it. Easing off and focusing on my breathing, staying steady, and being in the moment led me to a much faster pace than I expected, in addition to a more positive experience of the run itself. I hope it’s a reflection that brings you some value as well. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
