You wouldn’t worry what other people think of you so much if you realized how little they thought about it. We have to be confident that the journey we've set is the right one for us. It's so easy to get side tracked by what others are doing in this sport, but we're here today to tell you, it's all about action and not reaction. 

Swim, bike, run, repeat. Just like wake-up, shower, and get ready for work. Triathlon truly is a metaphor for life. . The daily grind can get into your head, but today we talk about ways to make the seemingly mundane enjoyable. 

• How the Daily Grind Relates To Training
• The 5th Discipline of Triathlon
• The simple things
• Shelving Expectations 
• The Danger of Mental Loops
• Hitching your wagon to a goal you don’t attain
• Taking ourselves too seriously

We recently read another article on about the New England Patriots and Bill Belicheck's philosophy that prompted this discussion. They practice with runs that are only directly related to plays in the game. For example, they may have the kick off team line up then sprint 70 yards. Then, they will have them jog back to the same line and do it one more time, just in case there is a penalty on the last play. 

We wondered how this philosophy could apply to triathlon, and of course, we believe it does.

• Coaching philosophies across platforms - Belichick returns 
• It’s Not Always Harder and Faster
• Consistent ease 
• The power of lower cadence
• Keys to not taking days for granted
• Race pace vs. Race Effort Training 
• Why Belichick wouldn’t be a fan of super long runs 
• Training to Hold Power 
• Vanity FTP and how it distorts your race results
• How cycling and running training work best together
• How much running do you have to give up to raise your FTP?
• Training for Hot Weather When It’s Cold
• Sauna Training
• Importance of Sodium
