Prerace Thoughts with Melody | S3E16

Melody shares her thoughts and feelings before going into the Deadhorse 50mile race! She also shares what she has learned about training during HER training!Episode Takeaways:-Get a coach!!-A coach is great for accountability, and can see things more clearly than you can. It's too easy to lie to yourself!-Focus on running form (increase your cadence, stand up straight, relax your shoulders)-A treadmill is a great tool to improve your running form-Add strides to your easy runs (30sec fun fast runs)-Do speedwork! Trail runners forget how important this is-Don't obsess over your heart rate zones-Try running based off of rate of percieved exertion instead of heart rate____________________________________________________________________________________Contact Melody on Instagram: @thepinetreerunner_____________________________________________________________________________________________Links:Private coaching/personalized workout plans for trail runners: @pinetreerunningUtah real-estate agent who helps runners find a home near running trails: Jacob Bateman | Exit Realty Affinity | Bountiful, UT Real Estate | 385-314-1016 (ihouseelite.com)Self-Defense Course for runners: Run Without Fear | Melody Bateman's School (teachable.com)Our Instagram page: Melody and Jacob Bateman (@trailto100) • Instagram photos and videosJoin our beginner trail running community on Facebook: Trail to 100 | Facebook
