Show Notes
You wouldn’t walk into a job interview without practicing your answers… so why would you show up to race day without testing your gear, your fuel, and your mindset?
In this Midweek Motivation episode, David breaks down why your long run isn’t “just another Saturday” — it’s your dress rehearsal for the big day. You’ll hear how to use those miles to prepare wisely and avoid avoidable mistakes. From shoes to stomach issues, from pacing to pre-run routines — this one’s all about being intentional so you can be confident when it counts.
What You’ll Learn:
-
Why every long run is a chance to simulate race day
-
The key things you must test before race day (gear, fuel, timing, mindset)
-
How to use your long runs to build pacing strategy and mental toughness
-
A bonus tip that can help reduce pre-race anxiety
One-Liner Takeaway:
Train like it’s race day — so race day feels like just another well-prepared run.
