Elite runners share strategies for a smooth return to competition:  “I visualized the different race scenarios that could have taken place so that I was prepared for whatever came my way. I visualized competing, instead of worrying about time or pace.”  "I know how to race, I’ve done it many times, and I need to have faith that the next time I hear a starting gun I’ll be ready to run like I always have.” Trust in your instincts.  “ironing out the wrinkles in all the little things that contribute to marathoning.” For her, that list includes practicing bottle grabs, getting used to tight turns, dialing in her nutrition, doing solo long runs without headphones, and breaking in her racing flats.  Tabb appreciated the normalcy and joy that running offered her in this otherwise stressful year, and carried that gratitude — for health and opportunity — with her into that first race back.  “I know if I make it through my training block healthy,” Droddy believes, “my body will be ready to perform.” https://www.patreon.com/posts/three-e...
