What's up Motivators, Taryn here. Today we are talking about how triathletes can improve their run

going into next season. When we start talking to athletes about their previous performances,

most often they say that they broke down on the run in their races. And the reason that they didn't

quite reach the goals that they had set out for themselves is because they

couldn't actually execute the run. When we start digging into the reasons why this is,

rarely is it actually due to a lack of run talent. And that's the interesting thing about

triathletes when they start talking about improving their run around this time. In the off

season, most athletes start thinking, well, okay, going forward, here's what I want to do. Here are the

goals that I want to set out for myself. And the run tends to be where races break down and goals get

missed. Now, the rare case is when the athlete actually needs to improve their run, and more often,

it's in all of the things that surround the run, the bike, the nutrition that comes before

it, the overall training load, the amount of off-season that they take.

All of these things need to be put into perspective

so that you can be set up to run well. So we're going to talk about all of these other things and all

of the different factors that you can look at and maybe identify in yourself that, hey, maybe you

do want to improve your run, but instead of looking directly at improving the run, maybe you need

to improve something else to actually improve the run, maybe you need to improve

something else to actually improve the run. We are also going to talk about, is it actually your

run that might be holding you back? And if it is actually your run itself that's holding you

back, how do you identify what factors around your run and related to your run do you need

to work on to make sure that

your run is performing well on race day? We have Jamie Delamore again as our co-host for today.
