Good morning, athletes! First, HAPPY 2021!
I wanted to share this article and found the biggest takeaway is the reminder......don't get too hung up on the Garmin, use perceived exertion to learn how it feels to be in specific zones. "if you ever plan to race, there will come a moment—probably many moments—when you have to make a split-second decision about whether to speed up or slow down. If you haven’t spent a certain amount of time trying to discern exactly what the razor’s edge feels like, how will you decide?" - Check out the article for more tips! And I am ordering the book that he mentions at the end, I will let you all know if it is a valuable read!

To better push your limits, try swearing off some of your most familiar crutches now and then

Thoughts for today. "Learn and Burn".....learn from your mistakes and then let them go! Keep what you learned and grow from the experience. Thanks to Cindra Camphoff for the mantra! I am sharing bits of her article on the Mindset of an Elite Athlete with my clients in Training Peaks. Good stuff!
