Episode notes
Commit Early To Lock Motivation
- Enter and commit to your race as early as possible to secure a slot and cement motivation.
- Having a paid race date makes you more likely to find time for early-morning or late-night training.
Place Tune-Up Four To Six Weeks Out
- Schedule your final tune-up (B) race about four to six weeks before your A race to boost fitness without lingering fatigue.
- If you can't race, run a race-rehearsal weekend five weeks out to mirror the benefit.
Keep Pre-A Race Racing Minimal
- Limit the lead-up to your A race to at most one B race and keep other events minimal to protect training quality.
- Use the post-A-race period to enjoy multiple shorter races and exploit remaining fitness.
