Summary
This Crushing Iron Podcast is based on a post from our closed Facebook Group:
"I have a question about being "race ready" for a 70.3. We sign up the previous when we are at "peak performance". The holiday season passes, and you find yourself in January with 4 months to go for your first 70.3, and you can't even imagine being close to "ready". You don't know if you're training too much, or not enough. Any thoughts or help much appreciated!"
It opened the floodgates and we dove into all things self-doubt regarding triathlon. Topics include:
- Keeping An Eye On The Big Picture
- Reflecting on Where You've Come From
- Not Living In A Problem That Doesn't Exist
- Recharging
- Why Peak Fitness Year Round is Impossible
- Between Fresh and Fatigued
- Self-coaching benefits and challenges
- Beating Negative-Talk Loops
- Meditation Detox
- Mike's Silent Confessions
- Peaking too early
- Why You Should Write About Training
- The True Benefits of Coaching
- When You're In Love, Go There
- How Do You know You're going the Right Direction?
- How Experts Make Our Lives Easier
- Hard Is Never Easy And Why This Comment Doesn't Fit The Podcast
