"It's kind of funny, you know. Everybody's talking about how this is the year to hit some times and see what you can run. What I was realizing in the last year or so is, the more often I focus on times, the less I'm able to do in a race. If I'm in a race to compete and to win, I run pretty well and I run decently fast. But whenever I go into a race thinking, 'oh, I'm going to try and hit these splits and hit this pace, and I want to be at this time at the quarter, eight (800), and 12 (1200),' I don't know what it is, but it doesn't do it for me." - Miler David Torrence
Read the full interview for more information. Oh... and leave the times/splits for practice and show up on race day ready to let the work come out of you.
