Crushing Iron Triathlon Podcast

Jan 16, 2020

We start with a little podcast reflection about what this community means to us, then head into managing training amongst the chaos of life. We talk about the things like the source of anxiety, how to race "free," and why training means nothing if you don't have a handle on your life. Robbie talks about his biggest role as a coach, Mike hits on longevity and easing the fear after his father's death.

#338 - Managing Race Pace and Pain 0

Jan 13, 2020

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
