In this episode  I talk about the social behavior called the Herd Mentality and how it is one of the most common traps I see when it comes to impeding your progress and performance as a runner. 

In fact, this trap is so easy to fall into, most of us don't even know we falling into it.  And, this behavior is so strong, even if we are aware of it, many of us will do it anyways.

This form of self justification and desire to achieve what we want is a common pitfall that ultimately leads to setbacks, poor progress and I can guarantee in almost all cases, if you keep falling into this trap, injury.  All this and more, coming up on today's show......
