Runners Low

I've been working on this without giving it a title or labeling it as a concept that has shape, the runners low.

Awful runs, until this year, drove me crazy. This year i've been embracing them. Pushing through them has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Figuring out dynamically why the run is bad and pushing through it will pay back big time when it's needed on race day; it has to.

A bad race is surely in the future, or at least a long stretch of bad. It's all about managing it and knowing how to battle it back.

Thoughts inspired by a promotional video on Geoff Rose, "Slogging to the Top".
