Summary

How do you think about training? Are you going for race times or truly working on things that will make you better? Today, we look at different mindsets and how to not get trapped in training paces and performances. We look at the full forest of a race and how you can have a more objective view of your training, your progress, and future racing success. Long swim sets, noodle arms, tire pressure, arm fatigue resistance, inputs for the best days. So many athletes are naive or in denial. Get a clear picture of what’s making you better and how to judge your performances with the big picture in mind.

Topics:

  • Big race week
  • “What do you think about doing this?”
  • Recon on a course
  • Designing the attack
  • Not riding the course before?
  • More hesitant on training rides
  • Training slower
  • Tire pressure
  • Arm fitness and fatigue resistance
  • Can’t old aero
  • The Bodh’s overall experience
  • Experimenting
  • Road conditions
  • Total body preparation
  • Long swim sets and noodle arms
  • When to ride aero and when not to
  • Starting with or against the wind
  • Training to learn
  • False positives in training
  • F*k up your training on purpose
  • What is truly a pass or fail?
  • Inputs: which ones are important
  • Changing your inputs
  • If you’ve done it, you can do it again
  • Naive or in denial?
  • Solid and appropriate training is the best solution
