Today on the podcast are very excited to bring you an unbelievably insightful guest

Dave McNiell is a professional runner from Melbourne, Australia

He is a dual olympian, competing in the 10 000 metres at both the London 2012 and Rio 2016 olympics, with a best place of 16th in the 10000 final at rio with a blistering time of 27:51

He holds a blistering PB of 27:45 for the 10km, and recently ran a PB AND Olympic qualifier in the 5000m of 13:13, which he is hoping will get him a spot on the team to represent Australia at the Olympics for the 3rd time.

What was most impressive about Dave wasn’t his athletic achievements, it’s the way he thinks about the sport and the way he goes about things. This was a truly enjoyable conversation.

Keys to the episode:
Why improving every session isn’t sustainable
How to use others around you to lift you up
The key factors that resulted in a PB after 9 years
Why training less has resulted in improved performances
You don’t have to keep changing your sessions up
The ultimate contradiction for athletes: you need to be more relaxed to perform better
Key mindset tricks to help performance and avoid sabotaging your performance
How Dave reduced performance anxiety
Two magic lessons to approaching your race
You need to find a level of training that is repeatable (and enjoyable)
