Prerace Thoughts with Melody | S3E16

from Trail to 100

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
