#249 - Building Genuine Confidence

Building confidence is a daily process that can often come from little things you doing think about. It's difficult for most of us to look at where we came from and apply it to where we're going when we hit a bump in the road. Today, we explore different approaches to gain confidence in your health, training, and racing.  Topics: Defining our Podcast What is confidence? How does confidence relate to your life? How do you build confidence? Two Types of Athletes as a Race Approaches: Accumulate Confidence over weeks and months Experiential confidence (I rode 112 or a 1/2) Quality vs. Quantity  The Importance of Cycling to Running The mindset of qualifying for Boston Repetition and Results Don't ram your head into a pole  Peaking ON Race Day  Don't Try  Understanding Where You Are in Training How to Look Back at where you've come from Confidence means nothing without action Beating peer pressure There's no better roots than your own When to Push Yourself to the Next Level Support the Crushing Iron podcast on Patreon, where the community pledge is only $3.26 per month.
