We have all experienced the existential dread around the 48 hours prior to a command performance: bubble-guts, lack of ability to focus or relax, the feeling that wish the race would not happen or there would be a cancellation so you don't have to go through the actual suffering you know is going to be served. In this episode, Michael & I explore this space in some details. We get meta & highly practical. Typical of how we've been rolling in these last few episodes. Because it may be of interest, since I mention my recent episode of Running on Purpose, where I provide  what I hope is a helpful road map for skillfully operating- in training & racing - with the contents of your body, mind & soul. you can find links to the episode & worksheet below. So please enjoy the episode we are calling Some Thoughts on Mental Training. Godspeed, my friends, godspeed. THE MISSION PROTOCOLTHE MISSION PROTOCOL DOCUMENT
