About this episode
What are the little (but important) things that make us better athletes? Today, we look at how to work at training in a way that makes racing feel "easier." We talk about going east and west to balance our perpetual north and south movements in triathlon. We get into the efficiency of movement and how to train in ways that make swim, bike, and run "click" in the mind. We talk about natural movement and how "thinking" can slow us down. It is often the little things that make you better than your opponent, and . . . can help make your training much more effective in the long run.
