Research has found that sitting close to a high performer improved performance by 15%. Sitting close to a low performer decreased performance by 30%. Surround yourself wisely!

The way you eat sets the limit on how much fat you'll burn. 🧑‍🍳 The way you train sets the limit on how much fat you'll burn at high (competitive) power outputs. 🚶 You want both. 🔥

Almost 3 decades in coaching, & if I had to sum up what is truly *MOST* important [esp. in elite sport], it’s 2 things — BELIEF & HEALTH. Belief fuels ambition. Health sustains performance. Each reinforces the other. This is the foundation for everything else

Most think of a "healthy diet" as less. For serious athletes, a "healthy diet" often becomes about more. There is nothing less healthy than trying to train at extreme energy deficits for a long period of time. #FuelTheWork

Never too old to get sponsored!! Proud of my dad...not only does he have an amazing sponsorship, but he's also running one of the most storied 100-milers in the US in a couple of months for it.

Important reminder for this time of year: The fitness lags behind the work. So, whether you're being diligent now or you're being a lazy git, you'll see the accompanying result in a month or 2 😊

How to play the long game: Don’t worry about being the best. Worry about being the best at getting better. Don’t aim to be consistently great. Aim to be great at being consistent. Ignore hacks, trends, and fads. Focus on nailing the basics over and over again. Sleep at night.

This also applies to just about everything. Trying harder often = Forcing, tightening up. Great performance often occurs when we have done the work, but let it happen. We stop forcing and allow our skill to take over.

On the podium with Kipchoge after my age group win at London. I gave him a lot of good advice about running marathons :-)

Loved this recent article about my dad, @TheUltraGeezer! How does he go from a 100-miler race to a track championship the next week? 145+ marathons later... he just keeps showing up. Relentless and always optimistic! geezerjocknews.com/blogs/news/he-…

One of the keys to elite performance is staying in the game long enough to allow your talent to fully express. A rush to be great can often impede our development Be patient Focus on consistency over heroic efforts Play the long game Keep & develop the joy of the pursuit

Observation: the people who sustain success over the long-haul are rarely shooting for success. They are focused on the path. Their goal is mastery, which knows no end. How do we achieve mastery, let’s take a look: Why does too much of a focus on success backfire? 🧵👇

The best athletes learn to listen to their bodies. To understand what each feeling/sensation is communicating. Any gadgets they use are meant to aid this process. Amateurs often get this backward. They tune in to the gadget in place of their internal signals.

Proud of long term coaching client @HilaryShirazi! She nudged the quality of her training to a higher level (harder long runs, primarily), but, mostly, she hasn't dropped the ball. Consistency is THE magic bullet for year over year gains.

Good enough is usually good enough. Good enough over and over again—that's how you get to great. The culture loves heroic efforts. Heroic efforts are how you burnout. Great outcomes love consistency. Consistency is how you play the long game. Make consistency a practice:
