Summary: Do you need a step-by-step guide for minimizing the stresses that surround a race? <br> That’s what this week’s guest, Sage Rountree, set out to produce when she wrote the soon-to-be-released book Racing Wisely. <br> Sage is a yoga instructor and running coach and Racing Wisely is her <br> fifth published book. In her previous four books, she focused on <br> recovery, but this time she’s tackled an issue that’s never before been <br> covered by an entire book: racing. <br> Sage really does a fantastic job of unpacking the step-by-step <br> process behind racing and presenting it in a fashion that allows one to <br> focus on a simple task: running to the best of their ability on that day <br> (rather than worrying about all of the little things that can easily <br> destroy a great race!). <br> Here are some of the things we talked about: <br> <br> <br> Setting four different levels of goals. <br> <br> <br> Making a “packing list” before your race, for your race day bag. <br> <br> <br> How to racing for time. <br> <br> <br> How to race against competition. <br> <br> <br> Keys to stay focused when a race goes bad. <br> <br> <br> As always, to check out any of the resources we might mention during the show, check out <a href="http://runnersconnect.net/rc34">http://runnersconnect.net/rc34</a>.<br> <a href="http://runnersconnect.net/running-interviews/making-racing-simple-an-interview-with-sage-rountree/">Making Racing Simple: An Interview with Sage Rountree</a><br> <br>
