The Athletic Philosopher Podcast - Episode 6 How I philosophically prepare for competition

In this episode of the Athletic Philosopher Podcast I take you inside my mind as I apply it to my specific race training. Using Aristotle as my inspiration, I know that if you aim at the nature of the activity it's full potential opens up to you. When I begin training for any competition I don't start with physical preparedness, I try to uncover that center. Then I aim the physical training towards it.

For the Backyard Ultra that means I've focused on two key ideals that help me prepare for a Last Man Standing Race where we run a 4 1/6th mile loop on the hour every hour. 

Listen and hear what they are and how you can better understand whatever competition you're training for from a philosophic angle to improve your training.
