Are you training to feel good, or are you training to actually get better?


We dive deep into how long runs can become the ultimate dress rehearsal for race day. You’ll learn why messing up your fueling, running without a watch, and embracing small failures during training builds the confidence you need on the big day. We’ll cover pacing, gut training, mindset, and how to turn “bad” runs into breakthrough moments—all without falling into the trap of chasing perfect splits.

Key Takeaways

  • Messing up your fueling in training helps you avoid race-day disasters.
  • Controlled chaos in long runs builds more confidence than perfect sessions.
  • Gut training isn’t optional—it’s a skill every runner should practice.
