Hi TheEd,
thank you for sharing AB's story!
Super interesting, it will surely take some time to process and integrate. Mental game and self belief are undoubtedly paramount, but not always easy to obtain. Was equally happy to read that I'm not alone in some of my struggles, but also a little disappointed that I'm not that unique in my little quirks haha.
Anyway, the read was very well timed, so today I went out with the intention of sub22 and succeeded. Had some doubts before the start, but set the focus and tried to keep my mind there. There were a few uphills, but overall effort was somewhat even. Run felt controlled, pushed last km, but not completely flat out. Run 4km as a cool down and got a nice runners' high ).
