It has been a LONG time since most of us have had the opportunity to race, which might lead to being a bit rusty.

We talk pacing, mindset, pain management, strategy, and more. The first few minutes are specific to the Virtual Races coming up this weekend (Beer Mile and Burpee 10k). At the 27:15 mark the "real" racing talk begins. Enjoy!
