Details!
Many of you have heard or tolerated my rants about details
or the margin of error between good teams, average and championship teams. My take is that a winner does 10% of the “little”
things better than their opponent.
The most talented teams don’t always win. All of this does
translate well to business or running. For example, the following things are
needed to successfully complete a marathon:
- Training plan (18 weeks at least)
- A Pre-Race routine
- Course map with porta potties and aid stations
- Music play list with input from friends (*I will elaborate on this in a different post)
- Split times (where you want to be at different points)
- Supplies (energy gels, band aids, money, etc)
- Contingency plans (what do you do when it doesn’t go your wayJ)
- Apparel for the day (we plan for different attire for warm, hot or cold)
- Weather plan (we look at the start temperature and plan for the entire day)
- A post race recovery plan (yes pizza and beer is on the list amongst icing your sore knees, etc)
- A plan for the 4 weeks after the race
Everything is planned to the exact detail! It separates the
finisher from the rest. Just like in any other sport or business situation!
