AM - 10 miles.

One of the cool things about going to USA Championship races (and other high-caliber events) is that you spend all of your time surrounded by hundreds of other like-minded people, most of whom are current or former (very) elite athletes. Its not only motivating, but also a great opportunity to "talk shop" and pick up some tips that you can apply to your own running. The people you meet and conversations you have are always interesting and I came home with a lot of useful/funny anecdotes. I'm still blown away from hearing a 1:03/2:15 guy say that "Yasso 800s" are a key workout for him! Everyone finds things that work for them... no two athletes are the same, and you need to be confident in the training that you are doing. That being said, there are some common denominators as well - everyone is talented, everyone puts in a lot of work, and it seems like (from my interactions, at least) everyone really enjoys running and the process of hard training.
