Summary

Many of us can look at the metrics, but how deep is our understanding? Today, we look at the decorations of triathlon in your training platform. Are you just becoming addicted to new numbers for the sake of it? Are the numbers confusing you more than letting you be your best? Do you really understand how you feel during a given workout? Should you push harder or take the pedal off the gas? Is your FTP right today? Data is helpful but it should have a beautiful connection with the way you feel.

Topics:

What’s your interpretation of “hard?”
Slammed racing weekend
Ebbs and flows of personalities
Race week is like the Bride and Groom on wedding week
New to the sport?
Threshold doesn’t mean your max
What does it feel like?
Race blind without a watch
Listen to your body
RPE
Heal thyself
Angry emails . . . wait . . . same with TP comments
Use your eyes
Don’t judge a day by the weather or a workout in the first 30 minutes
“I’m not on pace right now”
Tour de France by feel?
Race day is an empty basket
The best super computer is you
Building the effort skin
I “had it”
TP Metrics as decorations
Addicted to overtraining
