I joined Kelly Christensen at Niwot practice this week. We filmed two hours of the work his athletes do, including the athleticism work you see in this clip.

What struck me was that this was an easy day. Kelly explains why he wants his runners to be light on their feet and comfortable moving in multiple directions.

Kelly is the headline speaker at the Boulder Running Clinics on January 15–16. Clinic attendees will receive a 60-minute video from the practice we filmed. Tickets are going fast, so book yours here: https://www.boulderrunningclinics.com/

Racing at state today?

You don't have to predict your finishing place before the race starts.

You've earned the opportunity to find out what you can do.

Be ready to race to your potential.

Let's go!

When you preview the state course, pay attention to the details.

Where does it narrow? Where can you pass? At what point on the course will you be able to see the finish?

Knowing the course is part of being ready to race to your potential.

Let's go!

My college coach, Mark Wetmore, at the University of Colorado used to say this time of year, “The hay is in the barn.”

What he meant by that is that the work is done and now it's time to race.

My good friend Chris Johnson has put his own spin on that, which I absolutely love. Chris is the coach at Siuslaw High School in Oregon. He's one of the most accomplished coaches in the country at any level.

“The frost is on the pumpkin and the hay is in the barn.”

It's go time.

Let's go!

If you lose a few places in the middle of the race, the race isn't over.

Don't spend the next minute judging how you're doing.

Get back to racing, and respond to the runners around you.

Give yourself a chance to finish well.

Let's go!

Before state, talk with your coach about one part of the race that could be challenging for you.

What will you do if that moment comes?

Have a specific response you can practice in your mind.

You don't need every part of the race to feel good to race well.

Let's go!

Before the state meet, make sure you're clear on the race plan.

If there's something you don't understand, ask your coach.

They'll be glad you did, and you'll go into the race with more confidence.

Let's go!

State meet week isn't the week to try new things.

The warm-up, meals, sleep routines, and mental skills routines that have served you well all season are what you need this week.

Keep doing what works.

Let's go!

If you're racing at state this week, look at the week ahead.

When are the big assignments due? When do you leave for the meet? What needs to get packed?

Take care of what you can early in the week.

Give yourself time to rest and get ready to race.

Let's go!

Coaches: Your athletes take cues from you.

You want them calm, confident, and ready to execute the race plan at state.

Let them hear that confidence in your voice and see it in how you carry yourself.

They don't need you to make the meet feel bigger. They need you to help them feel ready.
