This Weeks TIP

To start you on your way towards better mental
preparation, ask yourself the following five questions before each run.
1. What is my goal for this run? (e.g., be aggressive, run a straighter line)
2. What is my focus for this run? (e.g., keep my arms in front)
3. Can I see myself doing it? (use imagery to mentally practice what you want to
achieve)
4. Am I at my optimal intensity level? (Am I too psyched up? Too relaxed?)
5. Am I committed to making this run? (Will I give it 100% and fight all the way
down?)
Then, commit to MAKING EVERY RUN COUNT. You will soon notice the improvements.
