“Every great race I’ve had, I’ve never tried to force anything.
Like yeah— I was pressing but it was all there for the taking when I went for it.
It comes from knowing it’s within you and you’ve done what you’ve needed to be ready.”

A 200m sprinter, a marathoner*, an ultra runner, and a podcaster go for a shakeout (with 500 people). Who wins the sprint?
