Event Day Approaching?

For most people involved in TNT we all focus on one thing, event day. We mark the date in multiple calendars, let our friends and family know so that they know not to plan anything that day so they can come and support us, and most importantly we train.

In the days just before our event we take a break from the training so that our bodies can rest and prepare for what is to come. This time of preparation should not be focused on the physical, but the mental side of training. Thinking about what drives you, why do you keep going, and most importantly, who are you doing this for? During this time of reflection think about why we train, why we keep pushing even after we’ve given all we have to give. Doing this will bring a sense of peace and determination on event day. If you think about this prior to and while you run, etc. nothing can stop you.
