Just thought about this at our 🏊🏽 session this morning. A good lead is crucial to make sure the pace is appropriate across the lane - enough to push but not so hard that everyone (a) hates you! (b) the lane gets out of sync. It’s a skill!
Chadd Wright - former Navy Seal and endurance athlete extraordinaire, did say though, that he survived Seals training as, especially, at the beginning, he always chose to stay in the middle of the runs and like, not too far ahead to set the pace and expectations, and not too far behind to strike the ire of the instructors.
His goal was always to survive. Probably is a time and a place to just be in the pack, rather than lead.
