Any tips on bottling up life's problems and letting them out during a hard run? I seem to have the bottling process down pat, but the letting it out during a run part gets a little confusing.
Before last week's speedwork session, I took a moment to sit down and focus on letting it all out and that seemed to work for the first few repeats, but I couldn't maintain focus for all of them.

I think that kinda 'fuel' works best on a tempo run.. at least for me. Pounding 20-minutes hard is a good release.

agree whole heartedly...if you take it out on the track you're likely to burn it all in the first 2-3 and won't have much left for the remaining...trying adding a mile or two at a challenging pace to your next tempo, when you're trying to unbottle something...you might be surprised at the result...

I think you need Yoga for that. Then, the only thing you're worried about is getting yourself out of some strange twisty position without looking like a complete fool or falling down. And if you do fall down, you find you can laugh at yourself pretty easily...and apply that lesson to your life problems. It works...sometimes.

Honestly, making use of stress to push a run doesn't work at all for me, or for most other runners I know. The process of running helps relieve the stress, but the fact the stress was there to begin with significantly hurts the run.

I'd have to agree with this. It doesn't seem to help my running at all. If it did, I think I'd be blowing away my PR's at this point in my life. :|

It never helps me out. I'm more likely to just give up on it that have it drive me.
