• #857 - Priming Your Workouts

  A lot of times we don’t “feel it” and the workout seems daunting. Today we look at why it’s important to use priming to get things going whether you’re racing, training, or tapering. We’ll explain some of the ways to shift your mindset to start the day and get more out of your workouts. We look at some of the key indicators with regard to how to predict your race performance. We look at aerobic threshold and compare trainer rides to outside. Topics: Just start Priming your workouts Taper weeks Workouts seem daunting? Making decisions when stress is high Missed workouts Prisoner of the moment Rigid triathletes Taking ownership of the work What gets you excited? What drains you? Making priorities Ball park training Being good with ranges The longer you’re in the game . . . Tri Calc addiction Looking at the wrong indicators Integrity of workouts Benchmarks Watt range Total body of work is key 80% for 80% Mental capacity Treating your training like a business Aerobic threshold Trainer vs. Outside Don’t be distracted   Mike Tarrolly - [email protected] Robbie Bruce - [email protected]

• #855 – Keep Your Race Emotions In Check

  It’s easy to get your emotions twisted during tough blocks or on race week. Today we look at the little things that can frustrate us in triathlon and offer ways to get through them, or let them go, or better yet, embrace them as the journey. You likely picked this sport to be a stronger, more durable, and healthier person, so reframe your struggles as positive steps. Figure out how to get through the tough spots and be better off. We look at the power of being grateful for the opportunity, races as adventures, and why decisions you make in the moment are often the most impactful. Finding a way to get it done can be the biggest win. Topics: Being Grateful Algorithms Conversational Therapy Race FB Pages Race free Put your head down for a while Phantom pains Races as adventures Race week emotions Don’t let your morning mood dictate How are your framing your race?

• #854 – Training To Hit Your Race Goals

  Do you keep struggling to hit your race goals but can’t figure out why? Today, we give you some clear thoughts and solid strategies to improve your swim, bike, and run speed. Are you selling yourself short in one or more of the distances just because one comes more naturally? We dive into specific training techniques that will help you build the right way with your eye on a certain race goal pace/power, etc… You are most likely selling yourself short, but it is possible. The hard parts are working hard enough, taking ample recovery, and being patient. Topics: Establish a demand of what you need to hold How fast do you want to go? Triathlon has different demands than a straight run race Chipping away at a speed Are you selling yourself short on the bike? Do you have belief that you can do more? What comes after setting a pace goal? Race pace and what it means in training Doing work above, at, and below goal pace How to build your swim speed Knocking down your 100 time in the water Run pace and cutting it down Shorter intervals at your goal paces It is all realistic but it will take time Swimming intervals in open water Making recovery or distance decisions on the fly Longer or shorter recovery? Some days you might need more rest   Mike Tarrolly - [email protected] Robbie Bruce - [email protected] Support the cast by getting some sweet C26 Gear --- https://c26triathlon.com/shop/

• #853 – Make Training Harder Than The Race

  We call it "training" for a reason and we should be "practicing" in a way that sets us up for a better race. That can mean getting out into the heat and wind more often, or visualizing your race at certain points of your workouts. How will you respond when you get hot or feel underfueled? Outside training with heat and wind and distractions and people and cars and whatever can also lead to a higher anxiety level. Are you putting yourself into situations that will pay off with the race? Today we dive into the importance of heat, wind, anxiety and stress acclimation to make you stronger and more successful on race day. Topics: Sticky and humid Dropping down your run in heat Swims cancelled in 70.3's Heat acclimation ideas How do you "feel" when you get hot. Can you calm it down? The anxiety of outside training Wean yourself into the heat The Ironman marathon Creat a good relationship with bad conditions Who's gonna make the best decisions on race day? The mentality of heat training Bricks are for learning and practice Outsmart the competition Start off slow How can I make this workout feel better as I go?
