#473 – Sweet Spots in the Training Cycle

What if you could have that "new to triathlon" excitement all the time? Today we look at sort of creating a re-birth in the sport while using the experience you've built. The "old you" meets the "new you" and how that can be so powerful. Also...understanding effort, power, and pace ranges on a deep level so you can execute in a race. We get into diet flux, and the guilt, falling off wagons and shame and how to start over when it seems like you've blown the comeback.   Topics:  We're not immune to mistakes Our wide range of athletes Falling into a great race Don't put limits on your attitude Trying to be the OLD YOU  Why its so fun when we start Having a "re-birth" in triathlon Not giving yourself a limit Race Free, Train Free Knowing your Ranges Understanding and executing swim efforts Unlocking your next gear/level Long rids vs. short efforts Fluid Form and faster Understanding your tool box and how to use it Do you really need a new shiny tool? Hold off on the Jackhammer  Guilt, Shame, of falling off a good habit Diet fluxes  Setting up positive life trends Going bankrupt What are we gonna lose if we start over? Finding excitement - re-discovering expectations  Are you a step closer today? --------------- Coach Mike is accepting full-time athletes.
