About this episode
Holding patterns are starting to break and Race Energy is in the air. Most of us will be "rusty" so it may mean shifting your approach on race day. We give you different ways to think about your race if you haven't raced in a while. We talk about what makes the perfect execution, and how you should train to create struggle you might face on race day. How much can the body handle? We get into addiction, life, self-sabotage, and how to approach a fast build up for Ironman or a 70.3. Topics: C26 Hub Experience including C26 Condo Stay - Swim analysis, setting your baselines, and a stay in our new on-site condo! Texas is Open for Business Coaching Calls increase as Races get Real Every workout is a test Mike is accepting athletes Is now the time to go "all in?" Dust off the rust and have fun Things just speed up in races Heart Rate on Race Day Looking at different race strategies if you haven't raced in a long time Don't take a race for granted Your body doesn't know it's race day Why do we have "perfect days?" What it means to be mentally ready Looking for opportunities to struggle in training Training harder than you race What does it mean? When we have the perfect race day Addiction, life, and training, Building resilience A long life of self-sabotage Does your DNA history matter? What does your body have in it today?
