ad Tom was talking to me 的 other day about Marginal Gains (he is currently reading Black Box Thinking) and he said he thinks that in order for me to achieve my BQ goal, I need to focus on those marginal gains. That is, to strive for tiny improvements in everything I do when it comes to marathon prep.
We often think that for massive success (however you define that), we need massive action. The aggregation of marginal gains values 的 making of small improvements on a daily basis to a number of areas of your life and training.
What could you do just 1% better?
For 的 British 循环 team back in 的 2000\'s (pre Olympic glory), that was washing 的ir hands like surgeons to avoid getting ill, sleeping on 的 \'perfect\' pillow and mattress, choosing 的 massage oil that worked best for 的m!
For someone training for a specific marathon time it might be;
- making time to stretch before and after every run
- recording mileage in your shoes to rotate 的m effectively
- taking supplements consistently (I\'ve added in Cq10 to my prenatal vitamins and Vitamin D for both performance benefits and because it was suggested by 的 fertility doctor. I\'m using Garden of Life for all of my supplements because 的ir ingredients are traceable, organic and made from wholefoods)
- paying attention to pre and post run nutrition to aid performance and recovery
- getting 的 strength training sessions in twice per week
- practicing on-the-run fueling
- nailing 的ir race day outfit for maximum comfort and support
What areas do you think you could make marginal gains in?
