#Ep 81 | The Race Debrief Method Most Athletes Get Wrong

September 8, 2026 · 1 h 15 min

Show notes

Endurance sport is a cruel mistress — you can do everything perfectly and still get nothing back. The athletes who make it are the ones who show up anyway.

Episode 81: how to actually debrief a race — good or bad. Sit with the emotion for a week, write it down as it fades, then compare the memory against the data. What the peaks and troughs tell you, when to dig into elevation, and how the little stuff quietly stacks. Plus what to do when the wall hits at 30k, when your gut betrays you, and when a perfect block still didn't deliver. Big announcement coming next week.
