Chasing Goals, Balancing a Career, and Managing Stress
My guest today is Tim Ritchie. Tim is the Head Cross Country Coach for U-Mass Amherst and a professional runner for Saucony. He is also the 2017 US marathon champion and has posted elite times at nearly every distance from the 5k to the marathon. When we recorded this episode, Tim was in the midst of preparing for the US Olympic marathon trials. That race is now just a few days away and Tim will line up this Saturday as he tries to earn a spot on the 2020 Olympic team headed to Tokyo this summer.
In this episode, we talked about what lead Tim to become a marathoner, how his training has changed since beginning a career and balancing his running with a full-time job, the positive mentality he needs to keep in order to keep progressing, the cleanse you can get from a long run, and the impact that stress has on training.
