Race Reflections and Why Knowledge is Power when it Comes to Your Health

A couple weeks ago I participated in my team’s (DWRunning) intra-squad track meet. I was excited to compete in the mile, 800 and 4x400 even though short distances have never and will never be my strength. Prior to the meet I had put in some mile-specific work and gotten out on the track far more than I have ever done before and I was really hoping to see an improvement—maybe even a PR. Well - if you follow me on social - you know that didn’t happen - and for a couple of reasons that upon reflecting on - make complete sense.
