The dying seconds are the most exciting because they are the finality of what everyone is counting down to. There is no interpretation of what is dying and what are seconds – they are constants reducing in uniform fashion down to 0. At the end, you either feel amazing, sad, perhaps hoodwinked, but if done right, you know that you gave everything to be there, in that moment.

I run a comfortable 6:30 – 7:00 per km pace. I vary between it, sometimes going lower, sometimes higher (depending on where I am in the run), but generally I’m there in that bracket.

There are some days when my role is to fill in gaps. We don’t have “X,” and no one knows “X”? Looks like I’m spending some time learning “X” today. I have zero complaints about filling gaps, because I think it’s where you can get the best opportunity to learn a new thing and figure out how it connects to everything else you do. It can seem stressful; it’s akin to someone dropping a stack of files on your desk – “Here, figure it out”. That’s okay, we need more of “Here, figure it out”.
