Firstly I will be catching up with all my family and friends which will be great, but also because I have put so much effort into the training. I was commenting to a friend at the gym this morning that this is the hardest that I have been training for any event including the Comrades Marathon which is over twice the distance and has much harder hills in it to boot.
I followed the exact advice that I have given to anyone that I have assisted in that it is important to think about the event, but also to focus on some things outside of this to enable you to achieve balance.
Sometimes this is very hard as you walk that fine line between continuing to visualise a great race, which is proven to be good for competing in the event and aiding a good result and obsession.
The great Cathy Freeman said that effective visualisation and seeing things in her mind was helped her to Olympic success. In fact she used to leave visual aides all over the house to help remind her of what she wanted to achieve.
What are your thoughts on visualisation and harnessing it?
