About this episode
Last week we said, "this isn't rocket science," and today we take it further with talk about how you should train to be resilient, smart, and strong. We talk about athletes who "out-think" the competition. We get into the psychology of "letting someone go" on the race course. How your body should lead the way in training. Fatigue masks your actual fitness. A simple overall race strategy that will set you up for success. The purpose of "bricks" and a reaction coming out of T2 that shows us you're set up for a solid finish. Topics: Chattanooga is hopping Bell Biv Devoe Re-Live-In-Person-Races Outsmarting the competition Ultimate control and confidence Hot out of the gate Excited and taking chances When you want to be predictable The purpose of bricks Your range of of race projections The goal is Total Time Rolling starts kind of blow The patience to "let someone go" The temptation is to goooooo I KNOW I can hold this The fear of sticking with a pace Accepting how you feel Self-love and acceptance when training "Trying" to make yourself feel better Energy expenditure starts when you hit the water Resilient, smart, and strong Fatigue masks fitness VO2 Max and long races Practice making race decisions Coaches aren't dictators - you race alone The best reaction you can make out of T2 --------------- Coach Mike is accepting full-time athletes.
