Summary

Today we run down a list of ideas generated from our athlete comments in Training Peaks. We look at 10 ways to simplify training by a shift in perspective about how you approach your day. We get into time wasting, weight loss, building speed and the frame to hold it, sleep, bad moods and bad days, balance, flexibility, strength, core, and how to push yourself.

Topics:

1. Think of scrolling on your phone as empty calories.

2. Working out in bad conditions can be some of the best race training you can do.

3. Sometimes weight loss is the best motivation and weapon for better training.

4. Mobility and flexibility can be more important than fitness when you're too tight.

5. Extra volume can be counter productive following a bad stretch of sleep.

6. If you want to be faster, you have to work at it.

7. Getting "faster" is overrated if you don't have the foundation to handle it.

8. Being able to balance the good and bad days equally in your mind is a great skill.

9. Your core can probably be much stronger.

10. Ride hills hard.
