We all want to see progress, but what about progress within the mastery of where you are? But there’s more to improvement than simply going faster. What about the workout that becomes “easy” to you? It’s not as glamorous, but that is real progress. Once we master where we are, we’re much better suited to climb up the next rung of the ladder. We look at appropriately challenging workouts, recovery days, moving workouts in your schedule, and how things all stack together to make you stronger and faster in the long run.

Topics:

• Past - Present - Future
• Go big or go home???
• Mental and Emotional Stress vs. Physical Stress
• When workouts turn into mental stress
• How training compares to cooking
• It’s a Day To Day thing
• Why boring workouts are exciting
• Keeping your tank topped off
• Chores, responsibilities, have-to’s
• Workouts in daily life, moving, yard work, etc.
• When should or shouldn’t you MOVE WORKOUTS
• Consistency IS Momentum
• The perils of rigid training
• Why you should get outside more
• True recognition of recovery weeks
• Turning One Rest Day into Two
• Same workouts week after week
• Why a 3 week build is really only two weeks
• The right time of the day to workout
• When expectations get too high

It’s been a tough year, but “what matters most is how well you walk through the fire.”*

Back to the Crushing Iron Facebook Group (Search Crushing Iron Group) for listener questions and we got some good ones! Favorite bike workouts, changing bike cassettes for different courses, our bikes of choice, superstitions, adjusting power and HR numbers for races, how the podcast has changed our approach, and how we coach athletes that struggle with consistency. Questions are below and we had a great time! 

Questions Answered: 

• What is Robbie’s favorite bike workout, be specific. (Will Mike share his??)
• If I’m going to change to easier gearing for a hilly triathlon (In my case 70.3 Blue Ridge and then IMWI), should I just keep training with the cassette I have over the winter since it’s harder and if so, when would be a good time to change to the easier cassette relative to race day?
• What kind of bikes does Mike own?? I'm figuring there has got to be more than one 
• What are your superstitions, or what you have to have, need, or do before a race?
• At a high level, what is best way to strategize your “numbers” for a race? Is there a best approach to swim pace, bike power, and run pace based on your training numbers?
• Are our tires less inflated than we intend to be by losing that quick puff of air when disconnecting the pump...or am I the only one that struggles with this?
• Doing my first 70.3 next year, what are the things you wish you knew when you did your first half back in the day? 
• My first 70.3 in Augusta last year was brutally hot but I felt the crowd and atmosphere around me at all times and so mentally I felt strong the whole race. A month ago I did the bike leg of the full Ironman at the Great Floridian and it absolutely killed me from a mental standpoint. What tactics or things can I do leading up to my first full in Chattanooga this year to help from a mental stamina standpoint? I’m starting to learn quickly that Ironman is actually a 4 sport game and not just 3.
• How has this podcast changed you both athletically - pressure to stay consistent? Accountability? 
• If you could make one rule that every triathlete MUST follow to participate in the sport, what would it be?
• Have you guys done any sweet jumps on your race bikes?
• Looking back on 2020 and how much changed from Jan 1, how are you planning on planning and attacking 2021 differently from both the physical and the mental perspective? I guess more specifically, in terms of the self coached athlete looking to start planning some training blocks.
• How do you, Robbie and Mike, work with and coach athletes who struggle with consistency year-round?

Challenge Daytona was awesome with an absolutely loaded field and we learned a lot from what was pretty much a flawless broadcast. We loved the format, the level of competition, and frankly seeing athletes out on the course. We talk about their swim, bike and run strategies. What paid off, what didn’t.

Today we talk about the benefits of running trails, the trouble with speed work, and why Ironman is not about going fast, but "who slows down the least." We dive into understanding zones, intervals, and solving the complex combination of swim, bike, run that is triathlon. When in doubt, treat yourself with kindness.
