Rich Ryan is a lifelong athlete, long time coach, founder of Reinforced Running, founder of The Obstacle Racing Collaboration, and a member of the Spartan Pro Team. His deep background in endurance sports provides Rich with a unique perspective that enables him to see value in what it means to be an athlete, no matter your experience, focus, or discipline.
Episode Highlights:
- Motivation is Fleeting - The literature on motivation tells us that it's inherently fleeting and unstable. Maybe "motivation" isn't what we should be looking for?
- Intentional training leads to confidence - A solid athletic identity and commitment to intentional training can build confidence that will serve you in other areas of your life.
- The role of tools/data - Our watches, GPS devices, and the data they produce are valuable, but not if they detract from our experience or intentionality.
- Training to stress - Can we become aware enough that we're able to see training as stress and not time? Our bodies understand training stress, not duration, numbers, or intervals.
