We are by no means experts, but today we take an open look at the never ending debate over weight loss and proper race weight. Everything is on the table including body image, guilt, shame, binge eating, strength vs. optimum weight, and power per kilo. Triathlon is often a road to weight loss, but changing a lifestyle comes with a lot of stress and cutting calories is a slippery slope. We talk about finding your race weight and when to be at it. So many diets, so many choices, but what works best for you?

Topics: 

  • Go too hard too soon
  • Proving yourself in practice 
  • Weight Control
  • Body image
  • Strength vs Weight
  • Power per kilos
  • Comparing to other people
  • Binge eating
  • Hydration and diet
  • Stress and pounding and weight
  • Periodizing your training
  • “Perfect” Race Weight
  • Giving the body time to adjust
  • Changing too much at once
  • Societal categories
  • Intuitive eating
  • What’s best for you?

If you're looking for a great custom coaching plan, please check out the new C26 Systems Plan for 2020 at the new c26triathlon.com. Coach Robbie will lay out your entire season (from 12-40 weeks) culminating at your A-Race. Take the confusion out of your entire year for only $499. The package includes team events, access to our online hub resource library, priority camp registration and more.

There's not much like the mind games you play with yourself at the end of a race. We call it "internal bargaining." Whether it a half or full Ironman or Marathon, it usually comes back to effort and execution. Today we look at how that breaks out within a marathon and the strategies you can use to talk yourself through the pain while keeping your pace.

Topics:

  • Hydrating for more than a one day event
  • Execution when things are out of control
  • Execution vs. Time goals
  • Breaking down the Dopey Challenge
  • How do you define racing?
  • Run form variation with pace
  • Stride rate and turnover
  • In-race recovery
  • Relaxing within the stride
  • Changing stride to mix it up
  • 2:10 wake up call??
  • Is the marathon the hardest event?
  • Back to back compensation sessions
  • Internal race bargaining
  • Biting things in small pieces

To be a good runner, you have build in a way that makes sense. In Part 2 of our How To Not Suck at Running (part one is episode #317) Coach Robbie talks about how to work in tempo and negative split mentality in a way that tests adaptation, but doesn't beat you down when adding more swim and bike volume. In triathlon, you "get faster" by being able to exert more energy late in the run. As we've said a million times, it's not about going faster as much as it is, who slows down the least. 

Topics:

  • One size fits all in training?
  • Do it more and do it smarter
  • How do we make running more enjoyable?
  • Alleviating injuries
  • Finding the time to balance running and triathlon
  • Light a fire, don’t burn it all down 
  • Phase 1 - 6 runs a week
  • Phase 2 - Build/Race Specific
  • Adding a Zone 3/Half Marathon Effort
  • Turn a medium run into a tempo run
    • Duration will vary among athletes
    • Be careful adding intensity
  • Beware the dangerous Pace Game
    • Learn to run by effort
    • Picking a pace is like picking watts
  • Mileage vs. Time
  • Intensify or Extend?
  • What about track workouts??
  • How to implement your Tempo Run
  • The delay of fatigue
  • The Negative Split Long Run
  • Mastering the mentality of not obsessing about the overall workout number
  • Always go with effort
  • Fatigue increase and need for more warm up
  • Understanding effort build and hold
  • Raising effort to hold a pace
  • Patience, pacing, and execution

If you're looking for a great custom coaching plan, please check out the new C26 Systems Plan for 2020 at the new c26triathlon.com.

  • Too much thinking
  • A rough start to Mike’s New Year

Dec 26, 2019

Most of us think of quality sessions as our “long run” or tough intervals on the trainer. We’re here to tell you that way of thinking is a myth. Just because something is harder doesn’t make it more important. Today we look at the concept of quality training and what that means for a short run, a recovery swim or an easy spin on the trainer. Become more in tune with each workout by adjusting the mindset of your training.

  • Putting workouts on a pedestal
  • Workouts you remember are ones you didn’t see coming
  • What are you gonna learn today?
  • Listening to yourself on workouts
  • What Mike learned his mom’s puzzle building
  • Running to YOUR best form
  • Every session can and should be quality
  • What makes us quit

How do we get stronger and faster? Hit more PRs? The simple truth is repetition and adaptation. Mastering one thing is hard enough, but triathlon is 3 sports. The time, the energy, and the focus can seem daunting until we clean up the weeds in our lives and create the right amount of space to handle the load. Today is about how we get stronger by getting clear on who we are, creating habits, and mastering ourselves.

Topics:

  • Master yourself first
  • Why did we come to triathlon?
  • Life changes
  • Internal tug-of-war
  • Mastery is repetition
  • Find out who we are, know ourselves, apply our nature
  • Negative Self-talk
  • Minimizing imperfections
  • Re-inventing the wheel
  • Taking away pressure of focusing on yourself
  • Endurance sports and depression
  • Cutting corners, deviations, panic
  • Don’t be an idiot, be consistent

Are you truly honest with yourself about your race goals or are you basing targets on the Triathlon False Positives?

  • Take care of the human before the athlete
  • Are you burning too many brain calories?
  • Good stress is stress
  • Balancing a limited amount of energy
  • Mental and emotional holes
