Episode Details

It's not about the shape you were in or want to be in, it's about the shape you are in. There is a lot of power in realism and most importantly understanding that the best way to make gains is to appreciate recovery. Today look at ways to attack each training session from your current fitness while keeping the big picture in focus. 

Topics:

• Run blocks
• Swim blocks
• What it takes to reach the top
• The "withdrawal pain" of training
• Why this is such a sensitive time for triathletes
• Why to periodize your workouts
• The post race slug
• The power of realism
• Living in the past, hoping in the future
• The importance of warm up and cool down
• Don't tell yourself who you are in Mile One
• How To Understand Pacing
• The Lesson from savasana in yoga
