Summary

It’s the time of year when we all need a little pep talk to keep showing up. Just when things seem like they’re getting too tough is usually when you’re about to make a breakthrough, so stick with it. In this case that breakthrough might be Spring and a revitalized energy. Stay in the ballpark. We get into the monotony of endurance training, being game for anything this time of year, and being patient through your training blocks. We look at how many athletes get too specific too early in their training cycle. We talk about developing a wide range as a triathlete. We look at creating a “find a way” mentality. And the power of conquering workouts that aren’t going well. Wilt or grow and laugh in the face of absurdity.

Topics:

  • Dog Days of Winter
  • Himalayan Salt Rooms
  • Perfect training conditions
  • Deep Winter Problems
  • Endurance Monotony
  • 1/2 marathon world record
  • Flexibility with minutes earned
  • Running stress is the highest
  • Being game for anything
  • The grind IS the thing
  • Getting in steps with variety
  • Walking is underrated
  • Think of volume you can get for the total week
  • Being patient through your blocks
  • Being too specific too early
  • Training non race specific
  • Creating range in your training
  • Developing your “find a way” mentality
  • How to adapt and be resilient
  • Conquering a workout that’s not going well
  • Overanalyzing metrics
  • Food logging
  • Wilt or grow
  • Laugh in the face of absurdity
