Picking the right shoe, if you feel amazing....., Realizations from last 2 years

1. The right shoe can be a game changer

Recently I have been getting back into running. I am currently training for a half marathon so finding the right shoe for myself is important. The best resource that I have found to do so is runrepeat.com. I essentially use the website as a rotten tomatoes but for athletic shoes as they have experts and users score shoes. If you are curious, the Altra Escalante Racer seems to be at the top of my list with a “superb” 92 rating.

2. “If you feel amazing, it’s because you haven’t moved up” - Alex Hormozi (1:29:21)

I heard this in Chris Williamson and Alex Hormozi’s recent conversation. Alex was speaking in terms of business but I think this can be applied to multiple facets of my life. For example, with my half marathon training I have a pace (anything slower than a 9 min. 30 second / mile) that I know I can comfortably cruise at. However, if I want to level up and improve, I know that I will have to push myself and that I will not “feel amazing”. I will feel inadequate and humbled at the new, faster pace. But that is okay because I acknowledge that being a part of the game of fitness. Whether it's running faster, lifting heavier weights, or whatever else in my life, I know I can apply this principle/idea.

3. Realizations

This conversation was great and my favorite part was “Realizations learned over last 2 years.” I think I will rewatch that part many times in the future.
