Episode Description

<p class="p1">Don't turn triathlon into a job you hate. Now is the time to embrace flexibility and work on being healthy, happy, and a more resilient athlete. Today we look at the toughest times of the year and how to use them to your advantage. We also get into how gratitude makes us faster. We talk about keeping an eye on how far you've come. We talk maintaining vs. losing and how your body will thank you on race day. We talk about why overly specific interval training is overrated. We look at burn out and how to make sure you can have a long and healthy life with triathlon as your guide.</p> <p class="p1"><strong>Topics:</strong></p> <ul class="ul1"> <li class="li1">Embrace The Costume Day</li> <li class="li1">Ironman Florida</li> <li class="li1">2nd Toughest Time of Year for Training</li> <li class="li1">Last hour of the road trip</li> <li class="li1">When we get sooo close to the season</li> <li class="li1">Max Flexibility Season</li> <li class="li1">It's keep moving time</li> <li class="li1">Starting a band</li> <li class="li1">Cramming for a test</li> <li class="li1">The triathlete's seasonal cycle</li> <li class="li1">Craving the run?</li> <li class="li1">It's Yellow Season</li> <li class="li1">Gratitude can make us faster</li> <li class="li1">Look back at how far you've come</li> <li class="li1">Don't let yourself fall so far behind</li> <li class="li1">Being an Athlete versus Chasing a Race Goal</li> <li class="li1">Not going too far in either direction</li> <li class="li1">Maintaining instead of losing</li> <li class="li1">Excuses in relation to the time of year</li> <li class="li1">Choose your adventure</li> <li class="li1">Making sure athletes do aerobic work</li> <li class="li1">Specific training overrated?</li> <li class="li1">Building a base . . . of consistency</li> <li class="li1">Why people get burned out</li> <li class="li1">Don't turn triathlon into a job you hate</li> </ul> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2">Mike Tarrolly - <a href= "mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2">Robbie Bruce - <a href= "mailto:[email protected]"><span class= "s3">[email protected]</span></a></span></p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2">Check us out at <a href= "http://www.c26triathlon.com"><span class= "s3">www.c26triathlon.com</span></a></span></p> <p class="p1">Looking to find your flow?
