#461 – This Isn't Rocket Science

This is NOT the “top ten things to be fast.” This cast is about simplicity and why it works in training and our lives. Everyone’s life and training is different, but there are proven formulas for success. If you’re not healthy, energized, and happy with your life, there’s a good chance your training is not on the right path. We explore the idea of “why so many of us want to feel smashed” and why that flies in the face of being comfortable in our own skin. We also address the postponement of Ironman Texas (again) and ask . . . why?

Topics:

• Load me up, Coach
• Ironman Texas Postponed Again (this is towards the end)
• March Madness Brackets and Picking Homers 
• We are not experts 
• Knowing Yourself and What You Really Need
• Youthful energy and the ability to be surprised
• Shifting perspectives 
• Coaching is not in a vacuum
• Variety in training
• How we all become addicts
• “Things are going great, so I thought I’d do this . . . “
• It’s not that complicated
• Why do we want to feel smashed?
• The point is to come back tomorrow and be ready
• Goal: Comfort in your own skin
• The simplest principles and why they work
• We innately know what is best for us
• When something is “new” we don’t know how it will work
• What’s your best long-term plan
• County lines and the logistics of Ironman racing
