Austin Dalquist on Elite Performance, Overcoming RED-S, and What HS Runners Are Missing
Q: What is Red S and how did it affect you?

Q: What was the race plan going into the World Champs race?
The plan was to race off instinct, stay patient, and target a mid-pack position early on while avoiding wasteful energy; the goal was to sit just below a perceived red line and adjust as the heat and field dynamics dictated.
