Summary

The last year has put us in "cancelled" mode, but now we're seeing races sneak up on us and a lot of athletes feel "behind." How do you build confidence when the clock is ticking? Today, we look at how to get the most out of what may seem like limited time. We also talk about smart training strategy for all races. What you should focus on as strengths, weaknesses, and how use the energy of race day. We also look at how Type A athletes can benefit from being more Type B and vice versa.

Topics:

How do we build race confidence if we feel undertrained?
We're feeling good about upcoming races
Coffee submissions - Send in your local coffee
February . . .
How do you find your "elusive" zone?
It's time to get over things
The gigantic mistake we all make in training
Study the course and train for that
Focus on your confidence
Countdown clocks are exhausting
When a Bad Week is a Good Week
When Type A athletes need to be more Type B and vice versa
What's your first thought when you see 8 weeks until Race Day?
"Load me up coach"
How life chips away at you
Are you obsessed with making up missed workouts?
How to stop worrying about what you haven't done
Race Day Energy - Do you harness it or let it take you out of yourself?
Stress is different for everyone
Do what you can, when you can
You Can't Play Catch Up to Race Day
Peeing uphill on the bike?
The end is so far away
Don't try to be perfect on Day One
Just showing up to a race is a win
Thin your daily stress herd
