Hey Beyond The Run Family — wanted to drop something for anyone here grinding, building, or chasing a big goal.
These are 5 things I wish someone told me earlier in my amateur years. They would've saved me time, mistakes, and a whole lot of frustration.
1️⃣ The boring stuff wins... Master sleep, hydration, recovery, and the tiny details. They compound.
2️⃣ Pressure doesn’t disappear — it evolves. Going pro didn’t remove pressure. It made it heavier — but also more purposeful.
3️⃣ Your mind quits first. The mental game is 80% of this whole journey. Train it like you train your body.
4️⃣ Your circle = your ceiling. The people around you shape your level. Choose wisely.
5️⃣ Protect your identity. If your sport becomes your whole identity, you’ll burn out.Stay human. Stay grounded.
Which one hits you the hardest right now? Drop the number in the comments — I wanna hear where everyone’s at.
