On the podcast today we have Dr. Justin Ross, a clinical psychologist who works with athletes and teams to help them optimize their performance. He is also a dedicated amateur athlete, having qualified for the Boston Marathon six times. Dr. Ross has also competed in two Ironman 70.3 distance races and the Leadville 100-mile mountain bike race.
Our discussion today focuses on getting over a tough performance in your A race (especially a marathon when you have to wait a long time to race again), making the most of a workout that isn't meeting your expectations, and his thoughts on the Big Hairy Audacious Goal (good vs bad, best way to approach/design them).
