Summary: <p>The new Mastering 40 episode is here and it details my wildest week yet. Last weekend I was able make up for my 10k DNF six weeks ago with a strong effort. In fact, the final 5k was faster than the 5k I ran three weeks ago. Yes! Then, mere hours later I was hobbled by an ankle injury. First coach James McKirdy breaks down 10k, the differences between racing scared or confident, and how the injury could dovetail nicely with a planned decompression in the training schedule. </p> <p>In the second half of the episode, Adrienne Langelier, my sport psychologist and I talk through talk through the weekend. First we discuss pre-race anxiety and race execution. Then, Adrienne helps me setup a plan mentally work through recovering from the injury while also working full-time with my two kids who will be full-time distance learning for the next few weeks.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Thank you to the Mastering 40 partners:</p> <p>- Supplements/Protein: <a href="https://www.previnex.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Previnex</a> - code: RUNNER15 for 15% off</p> <p>- Health Analysis: <strong>InsideTracker</strong> - Go to <a href="http://info.insidetracker.com/earlyaccess" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">info.insidetracker.com/earlyaccess</a> to be the first to hear about their BEST DEAL of the year- </p> <p>- Attire: <a href="https://www.tracksmith.com/ramblingrunner" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tracksmith</a> - code RAMBLINGRUNNER for 15% off first purchase over $75</p> <p><br></p> <p>Follow Matt:</p> <p>Instagram - <a href="http://www.instagram.com/rambling_runner" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rambling_runner</a></p> <p>Twitter - <a href="http://www.twitter.com/rambling_runner" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rambling_runner</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.theramblingrunner.com/">www.theramblingrunner.com</a></p> <p><br></p>
