A Peek Inside The Training and Mindset of a 13:30 5k Runner

Have you ever wanted to peek inside the training and the mind of
an elite runner?


What does their training look like? Do they have the same ups and
downs? What goes through their mind during workouts and
throughout the week?


This week our very own coach, Alex Ostberg, peels back the
curtain on his most recent week of training to run xxxx.  


In addition to getting the details and “why” of his workouts,
you’ll also hear him discuss the challenges he faced and lessons
he learned throughout the week, including…


How to swallow your pride and adapt your workouts

Standardizing his pre-workout routine to make race days less
nerve-wracking

Focusing on the 80/20 rule when it comes to recovery



This is a really great, in-depth look at the mindset and training
of an elite runner looking to make huge strides this spring and
summer.

This week’s show brought to you by:


Perform from the Amino Company


Perform is an amino acid based formulation that I simply add to
my water bottle during my run. It tastes great and is easy on my
stomach.


Clinical studies have shown that Perform helps improve endurance,
reduce fatigue, and increases muscle protein synthesis so you
recover faster after the run. Check out the research here:

Oladance


If you’re looking for better and safer headphones while you run,
then you need to check out oladance. 


The unique design of their headphones allows you to listen to
your favorite music and podcast while running, yet still hear
everything going on around you so you can stay safe.


But my favorite part is that their open-ear-design means your
ears will never get tired or fatigued, even after 2 hours or more
of listening. That makes them perfect for those super long runs.


Plus, their dynamic driver is 3 x bigger than most headphones,
which allows them to deliver superior sound, while still being
comfortable.

your purchase.
