Summary

It always feels like we should be doing MORE. More attention to work, the kids, training, learning . . . but time is finite and to do all those things better, we need to be connected with ourselves. Today, we look at minimal effective dose when training, along with how life's distractions are piling layers of stress on us. We look at the best ways to connect the mind and body along with using watches, power meters, and other gadgets in a way that gives you better control over them and your body.

Topics:

Little bits of struggle add up
Maintaining connection
Sit down with a purpose and get focused
It’s not your fault races aren’t happening
A forced period of transition
Good and bad stress
We need little wins
The difficulty of finding escapes
What to do with limited energy
Reconnecting with yourself
“Performing” in life
Why we can’t hold back
Little ways to feel better
Understanding Minimal Effective Dose
Appropriately Challenging
Accumulated Fatigue
Addictive Nature of Triathletes
Stress fatigues you and Stress masks fitness
Moving pea gravel vs. boulders
Looking at where you came from
Learning calculus takes time
Your body learns differently
You can’t fast track your body
Would you choose to know your race result in 10 months?
Your growth in the sport should never be done
Using your power meter for command
Letting go of the data
Satisfied with being able to participate
To feel good and perform at your best ability
