Please support the Crushing Iron podcast on Patreon and help us grow! Race season is here and the Crushing Iron podcast dives into the PRESSURES that can surface race week, pre-race, and inside the race. Mike is living it right now and Coach Robbie walks through some solid ways to get out of your head and put it onto the course in a positive way. We're all about turning negatives into positives and helping you get the most out of your training and races. Here's how today's podcast breaks out: 1. WEEK OF RACE PRESSURE (Leading up to the race mentality to BUILDING CONFIDENCE INSTEAD OF LOSING IT)- Bad workouts (how to shift these in your mind) - Scaled back workouts (how to stay on track and not over-work) - Phantom Injuries (go through what this means and why it's a good thing) - Getting into a confident mindset (setting realistic goals, reaffirming you've done the work) - How important it is to assist your body to re-build (The POINT of TAPERING) 2. PRE-RACE PRESSURE (ENERGY/ANXIETY)- The fine line between being pumped and relaxed - The subtle force that shifts your realistic race goals - Forgetting to warm up 3. IN-RACE PRESSURES (Staying within yourself)- How to benefit from something going wrong early… goggles… contact… - How to stay focused in your box - Resisting desire to keep up with others - How to stay in your own race Buy our Crushing Iron Training Plans Here Please subscribe and comment on iTunes Email us at: CrushingIron@gmail.com www.crushingiron.com
