About this episode
Training doesn't have to (and shouldn't) leave you feeling demolished. Do you see glimpses of success? Then you're on the right track. We want to break down just enough to recover and come back, not sit in the shop. A deeper look at how accumulating volume prepares you for the race and why you don't have to put in massive bricks and training rides just to prove you can "do it." We look at smart cycling and gearing, along with running the run and how to pace, hold back, and have something left at the end. Topics: Slow to warm up "Worst Ride of My Life" comments Colins Cup Road bike vs. Tri Bike It's not equipment, it's the motor Bike on a bike that's comfortable The most un-aero-dymanic thing on your bike Swimming and body position Smart trainer Bike Gearing Start small withe the basics It's how you USE Equipment How to attack an Ironman run Do you trust that you'll be fresh on race day? Accumulating volume Weekend Warriors Going to the Bank every day Training paycheck to paycheck It's not a swim, a bike and a run, it's total time Just look for glimpses of success in training Dial in your life Look at the body of work, not the Red workout Race with the horse you trained on Building confidence Give your body a Fender Bender When and how to pull back in a race --------------- Coach Mike is accepting full-time athletes.
