Learnings from the book 'Relax and Win'

Key takeaway from the book “Relax and Win”: tension is the enemy of speed.

The faster you try to run, the more important it is to stay relaxed. Tightening up wastes energy and slows you down. The best sprinters and middle-distance runners look effortless at top speed because they’ve learned to only engage the muscles they need.

Practice relaxation during training — especially in fast sessions. The goal is to make “relaxed speed” automatic on race day.
