If you're a serious and committed endurance athlete like me, you've got your a race, your b-race and even c races planned throughout the year.But how do you optimise a c race in your training and the same c race theory into your everyday life?Find that out and more in this episode of DLake Creates.In this episode my every now and then co-host Phil and I go a bit fringe and niche. We discuss something that I haven't heard discussed enough —- The C Race!For a real-world example - Let's take my half marathon distance virtual DIY race (or whatever you want to call it).I wanted to test my fitness, get a decent half marathon time under my belt for the year (to keep my annual half marathon streak going), and also gain fitness to run my best in an upcoming 5k time trial for the year. Very ambitious but also very doable.The half marathon strategy of racing it like a c race was perfect because I wanted to maximise my aerobic gains, not burn myself out (staying aerobic helps) and then slide into sub-threshold pacing to help get my lactic acid system ready for the demands of the 5k coming up.A few things you will learn from this episode;Phil discusses the article he wrote on thishow to not treat every race and hard work as a smash war festPhil's mindset on C races and how it will help you race and live betterThe beauty of thinking like a scientist and embracing failureFixed mindset vs growth mindsetand more!Episode LinksPhil Cross - C Race -https://philcross.net/coaching/c-races/Carol Dweck - Mindset - https://www.amazon.com/Mindset-Updated-Carol-Dweck/dp/147213995X/ref=asc_df_147213995X/James Clear - How your beliefs can sabotage your behaviour - https://jamesclear.com/fixed-mindset-vs-growth-mindsetJames Clear - 3 Stages of failure in life - https://jamesclear.com/3-stages-of-failureSuggested episode to listen to next: The most powerful way to think for endurance sport gains - https://dlakecreates.com/the-most-powerful-way-to-think-for-endurance-sports-gains/Podcast Concept, Production and Marketing BY POD PASTENotable QuotablesC Races are a cautionary tale to not get swept up in the competition of things. Just chill out and treat the training, testing and fun races as exactly what they should be.Testing and having permission to fail is important. If you treat failure like a scientist then you want to fail. Failure gives you more data points to prove or disprove your hypothesisWhen you don't treat your c race as a low priority you might end up optimising for the wrong thingPeople with a fixed mindset typically don't enjoy losing. They don't see failure as feedback.Original Music Used HereSponsor - MOS COACH SPONSORThis episode is brought to you by MOS COACH.

Stop treating your 'C-races' like 'A-races' (and start doing this instead)

10 years ago you couldn’t tell me I would be able to run for 2 hours without eating. Now I can do that every day.I fell in love with training while fasted… to the point where I started to slightly crack at the seams a bit.After midday headaches and general life bonking I knew something was up. So after some accidental googling, I found out that my electrolytes were low due to my high sweat rate.Problem solved? Maybe… listen on to find out if intermittent fasting is something you should incorporate into your training for benefits.Read my story about intermittent fasting and training hereIn this episode, I attempt to answer the very individual question if intermittent fasting during training is the right way to train.It’s not as black and white of an answer as I thought and I brought on Bachelor of science nutritionist, ultra runner and all-around super cool food lover, Angela Rockson.And (through the powers of the internet) she came all the way from London, UK to help me figure this out!What You'll LearnShould you consider running and intermittent fasting in your training?What I did that I learned from around thatWhat supplements runners should and shouldn’t useThe importance of Iron and electrolytes for endurance athletes, esp women.The complexities of your metabolism and how what food you eat together influence your weight loss or gainHer strong purpose and desire to help the black community understand diet and nutritionA bit of the history of how we got here with supplementsAnd more!Also, quick side note - Let's clear up the difference between nutritionist and dietician real quickhttps://www.publichealthdegrees.org/careers/become-registered-dietitian/dietitian-vs-nutritionist/ LinksUsing fasted training to improve health and fitness- https://dlakecreates.com/salt-was-the-answer/Keto & Cardio (Mark Sisson on taking more electrolytes when in deep Keto/fasted states) https://www.marksdailyapple.com/keto-and-cardio/Intermittent Fasting for Runners - https://marathonhandbook.com/intermittent-fasting-and-running/Difference between a Dietician and Nutritionist - https://www.publichealthdegrees.org/careers/become-registered-dietitian/dietitian-vs-nutritionist/Angela's Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/angela-rockson-8163bb29/Angela's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/topaz_fitnutri/?hl=enPodcast Artwork Photo's by Frank De Silva - https://www.instagram.com/frankdasilva/?hl=enPodcast Concept, Production and Marketing BY POD PASTENotable Quotes"Food groups don't often exist in isolation.

Why your lack of sleep, rest and recovery is hurting your performance

Bodybuilders and endurance athletes are not the same type of person. They usually identify with things that are polar opposite. From their training to their nutrition and even how they compete - there is nothing in common.My guest on this episode Seth Baird aka Mindfulrunz (on Instagram) has chosen to go from the identity of a hardcore bodybuilder and transform into an endurance runner. It took him a while but when I asked him if he was a runner, he without hesitation, said yes.If you want to learn how to upgrade your identity to create new running habits, then you should listen to this episodeWhat you will learnWhy he prefers running 400 repeats over longer distancesWhat being a black endurance athlete means to himThe mental transition from bodybuilder to runnerHis identity shift into a runner's mindsetSimilarities between bodybuilding and runningWhere his name Mindful Runner came fromAnd much more!More On Seth BairdEndurance Runner based out of Charlotte, North Carolina, USAIn a past life was a hardcore bodybuilderHe founded Athlos CBD to help athletes with recovery.The guy is one of the most positive and optimistic runners I know on Instagram - so much so that his quote in his IG bio is "Smile while you still have teeth"Occupational Therapist by day and Father of one daughter at nightNotable Quotables"When you see people in nursing homes in their 40s and 50s because of health concerns that probably could have been preventable - that scares you into continuing to run""I love it when your lungs are screaming and you are at the breaking point. It makes you feel alive, it feels good, and it feels like I'm doing something.""I oftentimes run too fast and don't listen to my body. Coming from bodybuilding to running - with bodybuilding you push through barriers. If you muscles are screaming you push through 3 or 4 more sets. With running you can't approach it like that""When I picked "Mindfulness" as my Instagram handle I hopefully wanted it to be a subconscious reminder to slow down and listen to yourself. That's the only way you will get progress when it comes to running. ""I'm not really improving that much. Why did I beat myself up (in training) for months for this showing in a half marathon.

Upgrade your identity to form new running habits with Seth Baird (part 2)

If you want to reframe racing failures as lessons learned then you should listen to this episode.Some endurance athletes say “failure is not an option”. If you’ve ever attempted to do a race or event that was slightly ambitious, I would argue that a failure is an option. In my head, I’ve redefined failure to mean all of the ways to not do something. Or in other words “lessons learned”.Every mistake, misstep and failing moment is a stride towards triumph.In this episode, I’ll show you a few race lessons I learned that will help you crush your next running or endurance event.I'm bringing in a previous guest and endurance sports enthusiast - J mike Remy or as he calls himself now "Remy B Reel". He will help me highlight some really interesting findings around my last few races. We did a live video event on his series "Adjust Adapt Achieve" a short time ago and I thought it would be cool to chop up the audio and re-hash it in a dynamic way that helps tell this story better.The 5 key takeaways from my convo with Remy were;Takeaway 1 - Reframing running my fastest 5k time to my best 5kHere I talk about the spectrum of what you have to work with. This spectrum is similar to the cards you're dealt or the crayon box colors you got. You just gotta work with what you have. Here's more on that.Takeaway 2 - The Twenty 1% changesHere I go deep on the nitty-gritty of the 1% changes and upgrades that I did months, weeks, and days before my race. Nutrition, sauna, dynamic warmup/drils/plyos, etc.Takeaway 3 - Addition and subtractionI know that sounds like word salad but stay with me on this.When you take things away you strip things down to it's core. I call this essentialism.My maximal brain tries to live a minimal life, so this was my take on it but through the lens of racingTakeaway 4 - Use Data - Then ignore it and trust the processUsing data, trusting it, but at the end of the day listening to your body because sometimes the data you give the algorithms is wrong. That's why coaches are important.The human touch is necessary with all machines, algorithms, data and formulas.Without the human, it's just data. with the human and the data/tech you become superhuman.Takeaway 5 - Running Virtuous CycleThis is my fun take on creating a model, frame and lens that can help us see things better in our training and specifically running.LinksAdjust Adapt Achieve with Remy B Reel (Youtube Live Video) - https://youtu.be/77K504FGRnAWar Juice- https://dlakecreates.com/drink-war-juice-race-faster/Sauna - https://runnersconnect.net/sauna-running-performance/Don't Cut Caffeine The Week Of a Race - https://www.caffeinebullet.com/post/should-you-cut-out-caffeine-before-a-raceDLake Creates - https://DLakecreates.comQuotables"Using data, trusting it But at the end of the day, listening to your own body.""If you're injury-free you can run more.

Sometimes running your best might not be your fastest. I had a very chill and deep conversation with a runner's life podcast host, The Marathon Marcus.Ironically enough, his podcasting skills enabled him to poke some holes at some of my questions and assumptions.

Goal isn't to do them as fast as possible but with the most amount of energy and best form).STOP: Stop the workout if you can't finish a set or your form is sufferingDURATION: The workout shouldn't go longer than 10 minutes (for intermediates - see beginner and expert variations below)BEGINNER VARIATION: Just do 1 set of each (set will be about 5 minutes)EXPERT VARIATION: Experts can add another set, make the sets longer (15-2 seconds), add more exercises (same amount 2 sets), do these single-legged, or even do these all on a hill (the steeper the hill the harder the workout). This will take the set out to 15-20 minutesEpisode Quotes"The reason most runners don't do plyometrics and form drills is that it's just another thing, it's hard, they don't know-how. I'll show you" - Daren"These are a type of neuromuscular exercises that enhance the communication between your brain or legs. so that if you get tired in a race or workout you're better able to maintain proper running form" - Jason Fitzgerald"Lifting weights is one way to build strength. Form Drills, Plyometrics and Sprints are another." - Daren"Strength is speed. Strength is power. Strength is strength." - Steph RothsteinEpisode LinksFor plyometric video, links go to Instagram.com/dlakecreates ( @DLakeCreates )Ben Liddy - Central physio, Trent Salkavich and Sigrid Dawson Balmain Sports Medicine, Kenny Son - Personal Trainer, Sage Canaday - Vo2Max Productions - Better Running Form Tips, Jason Fitzgerald - Strength Running...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
