When it comes to our running we all have strengths and weaknesses (focus areas). But have you ever considered what is going to be your limiting factor come race day?
We want to improve our weaknesses and maximize our strengths but rarely are these what limit our performance when the big day comes.
What will your limiting factor be? Your nutrition, your pacing, your ability to absorb eccentric load, your aerobic engine. I don’t know yours, do you?
Speaking with runners after a race I can tell you, your limiting factor is rarely what you think it will be.
Determine it, train it, limit or eliminate it.
Run your best ultra.
P.S. Our top 4 are.
- Nutrition
- Hydration
- Inability to absorb eccentric load
- Pacing downfalls
- Mindset
Enjoy the adventure,
Run, smile and have fun!
