How do you stay motivated and push yourself in training?
I surround myself with like minded people that train and push me!

My pre race is to watch any of the Rocky movies the night before I race. For dinner I have a steak and then have a 20minute ice bath. The morning of I have a cold shower and 6 eggs.
