Molly and Peter discuss a listener question about changing race distances if concerned about fitness before a race. This relates to changing categories and just generally being unsure before big scary races (or normal races too!)  We discuss the concept of fun races too.

Today we discuss How intense you need to be. This question was sparked by a listener who has  gotten really into David Goggins and is curious how we think about pushing to 110% (or cranking it to 11). We also discuss race week, the overarching goals of the week or two before your big race and the nitty gritty of what to do for training that week.
