Thoughts on Grand Slam Track

My fun solution to âthe problem of track and fieldâ if there is one.
Post-recording thoughts:
Points should also be awarded to a runner for leading (per lap).
Alternatively, we eliminate points altogether, and do something like tennis does, best of 5 sets (races). Might not be spectator friendly, but watching the same field go at it (and using different tactics) 5 days in a row on TV would be interesting. Kinda what happens at the Olympics where drama unfolds over an entire week.

Where does my passion for training come from?

I have a feeling this episode wonât age very well but I wanted to be as open and as vulnerable as possible with where Iâm at in life right now and with this thing that has all but dominated my life outside of fear (fear of abandonment, fear of being alone, fear of pain, and fear of living in a meaningless or sinister universe).
In short, I continue to run because Iâm still competing against my younger self.

How to determine your easy pace

Perceived effort may not be the best way to determine your easy pace. The tendency for most people is to go too fast on easy runs. But in my case, I was going too slow.
