PREP SMART FOR YOUR NEXT RACE

Hey hey! 

Lots going on, as usual, as we're seeing more and more people getting back to racing after a two or three year hiatus, and it is AWESOME to see! (If your race is coming up and you're starting to stress... book a call and let's chat it out!)

🍕 How to Pick Your Pre-Race Rituals: As more of us are back on start lines, this is a great chance to revisit and dial in your pre race routines and rituals. 

🎒 The Best Gear Bags for Cyclists – And Our Favorite Packing / Organization Tips including why gear bags built for cyclists may not be the best choice for cyclists!

🎧 We talked about Elite Performance Science for Everybody with sports science guru Gary McCoy and touched on the when/how to use wearables that will actually move the needle for your training. And before you go, do us a HUGE favor and rate/review the podcast on iTunes or Spotify!

📖 I honestly wasn't sure about this month's Athletic Bookworm pick: “Chatter” by Ethan Kross – Athletic Bookworms March Pick, but it is changing my relationship with self-talk in runs and in work. Seriously, get this book. 

Have an awesome week!
