What's the best split to run your best race? Do we want to be negative splitting all of the time? This episode, Reese and Loretta explore ways to strategize for workouts and races. They both provide insight as to how OMR coaches help athletes perform their best at races while choosing a split structure given the myriad of variables that occur in an ultramarathon.

In this episode, Coaches Loretta and Reese break down what it means to define these two types of objectives and how to approach goal setting for your next race, next season and your future athletic career. It's time to get specific with what we want out of our running so we can have a target to shoot for while we're putting in the effort. Grab a coffee and a pickaxe: There's a lot of gold in this one.

Intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation is a concept we all unintentionally experience-but what is it and how does it shape your 'why"? Here we detail what both types of motivation are, how to find them within yourself, & how to practice applying them to enhance your training, racing, & enjoyment. Get listening, get motivated, & go forth with your best YOU!

Join Coach Loretta and Coach Reese in a chat about how we approach speed workouts and how it applies to race day and life.
