We’ve been watching the World Swim Championships for the last couple days and it has ignited a ton of thoughts on, not only how to get faster in the water, but on the bike and run as well. We go deep into technique and pacing and how all of that translates from swims into longer course racing in general. We talk about mindset of seeking improvement and how to accept little gains as huge wins. We also look at your personality types and how that should affect the way you go after races. We talk about tweaking form vs. counterproductive habits. We also get into how tension can have a huge impact on your speed and look at ways to relax and build better economy.

What if you made “getting into the pain” your priority? Today we look at finding joy in the struggle and growth process. Most of us seek endurance sports because we want to change something in our lives. It’s important to remember that and realize success and confidence come from experience. We are literally changing who we are and it’s not always easy. . . But, it’s easy to chase easy. Today is about figuring out a way to get it done and why some of our worst/most challenging experiences are the real fuel for better racing. Don’t be trapped in “can’t” or feeling “not good enough.” There’s no time for a march of excuses. Chase the cobblestones. Find reward in the challenge of getting it done.

You probably know we’re not much for fanfare, so today’s podcast is more about humility, reflection, and appreciating what we have. We certainly realize we would be nothing without you, so we thank you for giving us your time and helping us build such a positive community. Today, we talk about not being obsessed with what we “don’t” have and finding ways to find motivation in what we have NOW. Today is always "day one" and with the right focus and not-overthinking, we have a lot to be excited about. We look at why sometimes we have to figure out what not to do and be okay with that. We also talk about how state of mind is a choice and how it really boils down to how you approach training and racing mentally. Don’t “look” too hard for improvement and remember that fatigue masks fitness. Close your circle and always ask yourself, why not me?

Every triathlete should listen to this podcast. We go deep into hydration and fueling and keep the solutions simple. We look at why most triathletes don’t take in enough sodium. We look at traditional sports drinks and explain why they likely need to be supplemented. We talk about too much peeing, hypoglycemia, and extreme thirst and what they indicate. We get into solid foods vs. gels and explain what might be best for you. We talk about fueling on race morning and why you could be setting yourself up for disaster as early as the swim. We also get into how you can dial in your nutrition for different types of workouts. We talk about the root cause of cramping, some myths about high blood pressure, and how our traditional fueling may be at the root of why so many triathletes have a hard time losing weight.

This is one of the toughest times of the year. A lot of us are in huge blocks and the grind is real. Today we talk about how toe make that process more enjoyable. How to explore within workouts, how to find more energy for training, and how to get your mind wrapped around the long-range goals. Every workout can seem SO IMPORTANT but we’re here to tell you, they are not. Knowing how to adjust and when to take a well-timed day off are huge when it comes to maintaining your love for this sport. Age is just a number and we’re all trying to feel younger as we get older. It’s not about being soft, know your body and learn how to be strong, resilient, and race ready.

More awesome questions from the listeners. We start by talking about what we think are the best tri-kits and what to think about before getting yours. We look at injuries and why some people tend to be more injury prone than others. We talk about getting more comfortable on your bike from being clipped in to climbing and descending. We ask each other which race we’d do the rest of our lives if we only had one choice. There’s a good discussion on nutrition including our standard approaches to how we eat on the daily. On your left etiquette in training and racing. How to keep your hunger at bay, and is it ever a good idea to just take a week off in the middle of the season?
