WHAT SETS BREAKTHROUGH ATHLETES APART? Podcast Episode #139.🎙This is one you won’t want to miss! 🙌 . Have you ever seen someone run a big PR and think “How did they do that?! How did they get so fast?” Sometimes it can feel like there’s a secret training tool you’re not aware of. We’re here to break it down for you!👇 . ✅ ENVIRONMENT & YOUR TRAINING AGE: Athletes that start running young and are exposed to the sport in their environment have a leg up. The longer you’ve been running, the better. More years of running builds your aerobic capacity and allows you to get faster over time . ✅ HOW THEY TRAIN: Consistency over the months and years, 80% of their training easy mileage, and not racing their workouts– these are all pillars to a successful training program that will give an athlete a breakthrough race in time. You need to repeatedly do the correct training to see a breakthrough! . ✅ THEIR MINDSET: You have to truly believe you can reach your goals. You have to believe in yourself wholeheartedly to make it happen. When you believe you can achieve your goals, you’ll do what needs to be done to make it happen. Mindset is so important . ✅ GENETICS: Your highest potential as a runner is determined by genetics (your VO2Max capacity, biomechanical efficiency, and other endurance-based inherited traits).

It’s likely much higher than you think and it takes years of dedication doing the correct training to find your performance ceiling . Are you ready for your breakthrough race?
