At a time where many of us are breaking through to the next phase of training, the old adage of "mind over matter" often oozes out of the cerebral, pleading for a larger intake of air, and ready to exit sweat pores to cool us down, indicating that we need to take it easy. Right? But base is behind us and some harder workouts are upon us? Lucky for us, the prolific UCSB Coach Mateo Mercur has done quite a bit of research while finishing his thesis and is stoked to share his findings with us on the topic of Mental Toughness!

Everything we do in training, and then racing, is based on a set of beliefs that we learned, trusted, and accepted. This could be from trial and error, the wise words of a coach, a know-it all fellow athlete, or the "always" true online blog.
Are they, in fact, "truths" or "myths"? Find out what our coaches or "Mythbusters" have to say about everything from nutrition, recovery, and beer at this Thursday'smeeting.
