In this episode, I answer 4 questions about prep races:

  1. Should I do a prep race in advance of my primary goal race?
  2. What might be the reasons to do a prep race?
  3. When should I race a prep race if I choose to do one?
  4. How should I race it?

Prep races can help you on the path to your goal race, but they can also take away from it. This episode will help you manage those choices along the way!
