If they decide to do so I’d love if they could cover the mental aspect of performance as it relates to this.
In particular, on the last podcast, there was some discussion of how much @Pete dislikes his A races - presumably due to the pressure, etc.
I experience the same thing and would go further to say that many of my best results come at B races. This means I gamble more and put less pressure on myself to do everything perfectly which often leads to a strong result (or an awful result it must be said)
How do I translate this mindset into a race where I’ve done a proper taper and am hitting a physical peak?
Obviously something that comes with experience, and I’m getting there - but how do you cope with this self generated pressure at an A race?
